An animal is a great responsibility and requires significant commitment for optimal health and happiness when kept by humans.
When an animal comes to Firestone Sanctuary, there must be a plan for the duration of its stay to meet its needs in a sustainable and ethical manner.
If the animal is to live at Firestone Sanctuary indefinitely, a lifelong plan should be made to consider all of its needs, and approved by members, before the animal is acquired. Without this, an animal is considered a rescue and may need to be rehomed or released.
As animal lives are very important, this premeditation is important for ensuring their health and wellbeing.
