Spotless Mind Sanctuary is a veteran-led nonprofit that provides a refuge for animals to experience healing, health, and happiness in harmony with their human companions.
Inspired by Ahimsa
Healing
Not all have a pleasant beginning, but we offer a chance to recover—together.
Health
Nutrition is affection served with a dose of fresh air and sunshine.
Happiness
Joy is a warm embrace and a snug hug.
About Us
Intentionally Small
We are small by design because we want to know every individual’s name, personality, and favorite food! This enables us to bond with and care for our friends in a more meaningful way.
Educate and Empower
Each meal is a vote for love. Love living your best life, aligned with your moral compass, in harmony with all the beautiful beings on this big blue dot!
Words Matter
Words matter, maybe as much or even more than pictures, sometimes.
