Why Dalo Acres Exists
Why Dalo Acres Exists
Dalo Acres Animal Sanctuary exists because some animals do not need to be fixed, rushed, or moved along. They need time, consistency, and a place where care does not expire.
Sanctuary is not a moment. It is a long term responsibility.
Origin
Dalo Acres began when responsibility showed up and did not leave. Some animals recover quickly. Some never will. Both deserve dignity, safety, and care without an expiration date.
At Dalo, dignity is not earned. It is given.
How We Operate
- Stability over scale
- Consistency over optics
- Truth over promises
- No when yes would cause harm
What We Do
- Long term sanctuary care
- Rehabilitation when humane and appropriate
- Daily stewardship rooted in calm routine
- Education through example, not spectacle
Every animal here is here because someone chose to stay.
