animal sanctuaries
Rescued creature refuges
Animal sanctuaries are facilities that rescue and shelter animals—typically those abused, neglected, abandoned, or displaced from their natural habitats.
Unlike zoos, sanctuaries prioritize the animals' welfare over public display, often providing permanent homes rather than breeding programs or entertainment.
Farm animal sanctuaries house livestock rescued from industrial agriculture; wildlife sanctuaries protect species in more natural settings.
