Our Values

At Hold Fast To Dreams, our values are the heart of everything we do.
We believe that true change begins with compassion, for animals, for people, and for the world we share.

Community Without Borders

We are an international family of dreamers, doers, and animal lovers. Volunteers and staff come from all over the world, bringing with them new languages, stories, and ideas.
Our on-site communication is in English, allowing everyone to connect, collaborate, and belong, no matter where they come from.
This shared language builds bridges between cultures, creating a global community united by empathy and purpose.

Our Core Values

Animal Welfare – Every decision we make begins with what’s best for the animals in our care.
Teamwork – We thrive through collaboration, trust, and respect.
Kindness – It’s the foundation of everything we do—toward animals, people, and ourselves.
Compassion – We see beyond appearances and meet every being where they are.
Creativity – We believe in problem-solving with imagination, adaptability, and heart.
Laughter – Because joy heals. We take our mission seriously, but we never forget to smile.

A Place of Healing and Joy

Our sanctuary is a place where both animals and humans can feel safe, seen, and valued. Many of our staff members began as volunteers, and even after moving on, they often return to visit—proof that once you become part of this family, it never truly leaves you.

One of the worst complaint we’ve ever received?

“Everyone just wants to be happy here!”
And honestly, we couldn’t be prouder.
