Welcome to the Deep Roots Animal Sanctuary blog. As you may have figured out, we are still in the process of becoming a grown-up sanctuary. We first started as the Western North Carolina Animal Sanctuary about a year ago, but seeing as to how almost all DRAS collective members are from the midwest, we decided to pick up and head back to where are roots are. That’s how we found ourselves here in Indiana.

Officially, we are a completely new non-profit organization. This time, we decided to share the process of becoming an animal sanctuary with you. We figured our trials and errors could probably help others in the process.

I’ll be posting more about this process in the near future, but for now I suggest reading the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary’s Starting A Nonprofit to Help Animals. I only wish I knew of the Best Friends manuals two years ago! But I know of them now and I have found them to be very accessible and helpful.
