About

Who We Are

At Sage's HARK, we are an emerging animal rescue and sanctuary with a clear mission: to give overlooked animals a second chance. Our unique focus is on animals that are often harder to place due to behavior, breed, coat color, or special needs. We are dedicated to providing these animals with the care and support they need to thrive, filling a crucial gap in the animal rescue community.

At Sage's HARK, we firmly believe in the potential of every animal to be part of a loving family. That's why we prioritize individualized care and training, helping each animal realize their potential and become more confident, adaptable, and ready for rehoming. We aim to meet animals where they are, giving them the support they need to thrive and find their perfect match.

At Sage's HARK, we are committed to our mission: no animal should be left behind.
