BE A PART OF THE DREAM: A LITTLE IS A LOT
Hold Fast To Dreams Sanctuary and Rescue is a nonprofit volunteer organization (OdV) devoted to rescuing, protecting, and rehabilitating abused and abandoned animals.
Our sanctuary provides not only refuge and long-term care, but also serves as a space of healing, education, and connection for both animals and people.
Our mission is to promote respect for all living beings, prevent cruelty and neglect, and foster meaningful human-animal relationships rooted in compassion, education, and responsibility.
From survivors of neglect to animals born wild, every rescue here has a unique journey, a story—and a future, thanks to people like you.
Explore our gallery of rescue animals and meet the unforgettable dogs, horses, cats, and more who call our sanctuary home.
Just one year ago, we bought the land that would become our sanctuary.
A few months later, Hold Fast To Dreams was officially founded as an OdV.
Since then, it has grown and transformed every day—thanks to the hard work and dedication of incredible volunteers from all over the world.
Whether mucking stalls, building fences, feeding animals, or simply offering love and attention, our volunteers have been the heartbeat of this rescue.
We’re always looking for passionate animal lovers to join us—come be part of the rescue and apply to join our volunteer team!
Our 41 horses are all rescues—each with their own history, needs, and spirit.
Only 15 of them are rideable due to age, injury, or past trauma, but these gentle companions now help support the entire herd through our guided trail rides.
By joining a trail ride, you’re not just enjoying a scenic, peaceful journey—you’re actively supporting the care of horses who can no longer be ridden but still deserve love, comfort, and a safe home.
