Welcome to Saving Animals for Everyone, also known as S.A.F.E. Sanctuary.
We are an animal sanctuary located in Anthony, Florida, just 15 miles north of
Ocala. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing a safe
haven for animals. We have a Class 3 License issued by the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission, which enables us to take in many types of
animals: domestic, farm, and exotic, including small primates.
The Sanctuary provides a place for animals to live that are in need of a home.
Many animals come to us because of unfortunate circumstances - some have been
lost or abandoned, or just no longer wanted. We work with a number of state and
local organizations, including animal welfare agencies, to make sure that
animals they are unable to shelter or place are given a home. We are also
contacted by owners when they are unable to maintain the level of care the
animals needs, due to relocation, financial, or health reasons. In rare cases,
the animal may require special handling by a professional. In most cases, the
owners want to make sure that good care is provided to the animal. If the
Sanctuary is unable to take in the animal, we will work with the owner to find
another facility that is able to help.
We offer daily tours from 9am - 4pm at $10 per person, you must call for an
appointment.
we also offer a variety of other tours, memberships, and sponsorships.
Please contact us for more information regarding our facility.

Our New Memorial Pond
Here is our new refurbished pond. It is surrounded by Florida fieldstone and has a lovely waterfall in the corner. The pond has always been a focal point of the sanctuary and our aim is to create a place of tranquility and contemplation.
We are now ready to begin landscaping in preparation of our Memorial Pond and Wall of Friends Project.
Ronnie Gaylord, Jr. of G.P. Masonry of Ocala, a family owned and operated business since 1982, is kindly donating his time in the construction of our Memorial Pond Columns and our Wall of Friends. We are very grateful to Ronnie, Gramps and All for taking on this very special project.

Best Friends Animal Sponsorship Program
S.A.F.E. Sanctuary's Best Friends Animal Sponsorship Program
Would you like the pleasure and satisfaction of owning a pet, but cannot have one due to a hectic work schedule, health reasons or living arrangements? Have you ever wished that you could own an exotic animal such as a monkey, wolf or tortoise? S.A.F.E. Sanctuary has the answer for you!
We would like to tell you about our Best Friends Animal Sponsorship Program! When you sponsor an animal at S.A.F.E. Sanctuary, you are actually helping to participate in that animal’s care and well-being. Your sponsorship fee will be used to keep an animal healthy, well-fed, and will provide for a comfortable, appropriate habitat with living quarters. When you enroll as a sponsor, you are becoming an animal’s ‘Best Friend.‘ You will receive the satisfaction of knowing that this animal will live a good life because of your financial assistance! Sponsor fees range from $25.00 to $100.00 for one year depending on the type of animal sponsored.
We do our best to help find a home for the animals that we can not take. With a tiger, it was very hard to find a licensed facility to take the tiger since a lot of tiger sanctuaries are full. We kept looking for months and months and months and finally found a licensed facility to take the tiger. Safe sanctuary took 5 of its volunteers out to town and for two days built the tiger its new home!!! We’re happy to report as the finishing touches were being done, the tiger arrived. Now it's very happy in its new home, complete with pool and all.
Shantie comes from a VERY LOVING FAMILY and due to unfortunate circumstances they had to depart with her. It was a very hard and emotional for all BUT!! We are happy to report the Shantie has adjusted very well and is another love of the sanctuary!! she gets to run and play with muzzy our aussie who is her best friend.. (what would we do with out the muzz) she always has an attendant watching her at all times when she is lose and playing. She is loved by all here and we are very happy to have her...
Shantie has some medical problems as well so we are sorry to report that she can not be adopted out. we are also looking for donations to help with shantie's medical needs..so if you would like to help please contact us.
