Huvimäki animal sanctuary
Huvimäen eläinsuojelutila is animal protection farm, shelter and organization with the aim to give a new chance to animals that are for some reason under the threat of being put down.
We focus on farm animals like sheep, goats and chickens and we have plans to offer old-age home for horses and ponies in the future. We also take in pets in circumstances where their owners can’t take care of them anymore (allergies, life changing events, financial reasons…). Some get a new loving home and some stay at the farm for good – living a natural and happy life.
The intention is also to arrange public events and visits on the farm to give people the chance to see what kind of life happy animals live. We want to show that each animal has its own personality with emotions and individual needs. However, this farm is not meant to be a zoo but a peaceful home for animals without constant flow of foreign visitors. But through newsletters, Facebook and our website we will share information about animals and their life on the farm.
Huvimäen eläinsuojelutila ry is a charity organization and the most work is done by me, Annika Taskinen and my husband. We volunteer fully with our family’s own resources and with the support of donors. Our activity is still in its early stage with the effort of renovating buildings to take more animals in.
Huvimäen eläinsuojelutila ry collects money for instance through membership fees, godparent activity, product sales, farm visits and different kind of events.
Material donations and voluntary work force is also valued. Possible donations:
