Liberty Acres United Animal Rescue Sanctuary, recently featured in the Herald, is in immediate need of help to stay open. Due to the passing of the sanctuary's founder and subsequent legal issues, the animal shelter itself is now fighting for survival. A GoFundMe page has been started in an effort to raise $120,000 to purchase the property and continue the mission. A portion of the fundraising request letter reads, "Dear friends, Since this unique sanctuary was founded, we have been so grateful to you and all our fans and supporters. Our founder, Gary Sigler, purchased this property with the express purpose of creating an animal sanctuary. Since 2017, this vision has come to fruition and grown to serve hundreds of animals, placing most in forever homes, offering refuge and safety for others, and saving many destined for euthanasia. We currently are home to 36 senior and special needs dogs, 15 cats, 10 kittens, 3 pigs, 2 goats, an urban rooster, and rehabilitated wildlife. Since Gary's passing, the sanctuary's future has become unsettled.
We have a few individuals who are completely un-fosterable and unadoptable, with nowhere else to go. Please get in touch with us! Your support, ideas, and input are welcomed and needed as we navigate this critical time in our efforts to continue to exist and provide sanctuary for the neediest animals. Thank you so very much from the board of directors of Liberty Acres and all the animals!"
