Our Mission

At The Saint Francis Ohana Animal Sanctuary, our mission transcends the traditional concept of an oasis, striving to embody the spirit of aloha in every facet of our operations. We put the animals at the center of every decision we make and every action we take.

We are committed to creating a haven that not only offers refuge but also cultivates a profound connection between people and animals through compassion, education, and stewardship. Our oasis is dedicated to fostering an environment where every visitor can witness and participate in the loving care that our residents receive, while simultaneously supporting a cause that is critical to the well-being of our planet.

Our core values revolve around the principles of aloha—love, respect, and harmony. These values guide us in our commitment to providing a safe and nurturing home for our animal residents. Each animal at The Saint Francis Ohana Animal Sanctuary is welcomed with open arms and given the highest standard of care, reflecting our belief in the inherent dignity and worth of all living beings—as members of our global Ohana. By showcasing this dedication, we aim to inspire our visitors to adopt a similar ethos of kindness and responsibility towards animals and nature.

Education stands at the heart of our mission. We believe that informed individuals are empowered to make impactful choices that benefit both wildlife and their natural habitats. Through interactive educational programs, workshops, and guided tours, we strive to deepen our visitors’ understanding of animal behavior, conservation challenges, and the importance of sustainable practices. By engaging with our educational initiatives, visitors gain insights into the critical issues facing wildlife today and learn how they can contribute to meaningful change.

The Saint Francis Ohana Animal Sanctuary is also a beacon of hope and advocacy. By highlighting the stories of our animal residents and the challenges they have overcome, we aim to elevate awareness about conservation and animal welfare issues. Our sanctuary serves as a living testament to the positive impact that dedicated care and thoughtful intervention can have on the lives of animals. In doing so, we encourage our community to become active participants in the global effort to protect and preserve wildlife.

Our commitment extends beyond the sanctuary walls. We strive to build partnerships with local communities, educational institutions, and conservation organizations to amplify our mission and extend our reach. By fostering collaborative relationships, we enhance our ability to advocate for and support broader environmental and animal welfare initiatives. Our sanctuary is not just a destination but a hub of inspiration and action, where collective efforts contribute to a more harmonious world for both people and animals.

In every interaction and experience, we aim to reflect the spirit of Ohana by treating all with kindness, fostering a sense of belonging, and nurturing a shared care and compassion for wildlife as members of our global Ohana. The Saint Francis Ohana Animal Sanctuary is dedicated to being a place of learning, healing, and connection—a sanctuary that honors the bond between humans and animals while championing the critical causes that shape our world.

Through our unwavering dedication to these principles, we invite you to join us in our mission. By visiting The Saint Ohana Francis Animal Sanctuary, you are not only supporting a cause but becoming part of a movement that values compassion, education, and stewardship. Together, we can create a lasting impact, celebrating the beauty of nature and the importance of protecting it for future generations.
