MOOSE JAW — In a world where abandoned and vulnerable animals often face uncertain futures, one local woman is doing everything she can to provide a compassionate, loving home for more than 50 elderly, abused, or malformed animals now in her care at the Free To Be Me Animal Sanctuary just west of town.
The sanctuary's owner, Louanne Shropshire, said her goal is to provide care to each animal she welcomes into the flock.
“Be kind to animals,” she said. “They have feelings and emotions, and they look up to us to set the standards.”
Everyone's welcome to call in and book a tour of the sanctuary, and Shropshire along with Casper, her Great Pyrenees helper, will be more than happy to show you, your family, or your classroom around the farm as she invites you to meet these remarkable animals in person.
To volunteer your time, book a tour, or to learn more about the sanctuary, visit ‘’ on Facebook or call 306-684-2231.
The sanctuary is along Caribou Street West and is just past 32nd Avenue Southwest.
