The Saint Francis Ohana Animal Sanctuary promises to be more than just an animal sanctuary in Hawaii. It will embody the spirit of Ohana and provide educational opportunities, fostering a deeper connection between people and animals. Visitors will experience firsthand the loving care that goes into every aspect of the sanctuary, all while supporting a critical cause. We believe animals are part of our Ohana—part of our family—and we are responsible for them.
— Priscilla Presley, Global Ambassador, St. Francis Animal Sanctuary
