Sanctuary at Haafsville Gets $75,000 in Anonymous Donations

The donations come from a family and individual who wish to remain anonymous. Both support Executive Director Liz Jones' vision of a unique sanctuary that will serve the homeless animals and human residents of the Lehigh Valley.

It's called The Sanctuary at Haafsville, and has been given an eight-acre property, west of Fogelsville, by the Tercha/Haaf family. The first building on the site should be ready by Spring, according to Ken Petrini, chairman of The Sanctuary's board of directors.

Also helping in the construction of this first of its kind animal sanctuary in the Northeast will be sales of The Sanctuary's Inaugural Public Opportunity, or IPO, -- shares of non-redeemable stock that will be issued to the first 1,000 donations of $1,000.

The Sanctuary at Haafsville's mission is to promote programs that encourage interaction between people and animals, while providing a home and care for animals needing a temporary or permanent place to live. The Sanctuary also plans to use environmentally friendly methods in building and landscaping wherever possible.

The Sanctuary's website is here. There's also a Facebook page.

    Known Liz Jones 15 years. She is dedicated and honest. Something ugly happened at her last animal sanctuary that made her leave. Have no idea what, but it's really not important. Who hasn't met some animal rescuers who think they are better than the rest of us. Wish Liz well with this new venture.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
