Rainbow Friends Animal Sanctuary
Vision and Mission
Vision
We embrace the vision in which we see a time where all animals have a home with caring and responsible people and a time where there is a compassionate and loving relationship between humans and non-humans.
Mission Statement
Rainbow Friends Animal Sanctuary takes in animals who are homeless, provides medical care, love and play and finds them wonderful new homes.
Mission
- To establish a safe no-kill sanctuary for animals who are unwanted, rejected, abused or otherwise neglected, by rescuing, rehabilitating, fostering and providing food, medical care and safe shelter for them until they can be permanently placed into caring and responsible homes or live out their lives at the sanctuary or foster locations
- To help other people to set up and run similar sanctuaries
- To establish a network of temporary-care locations to serve as foster homes for animals in need
- To educate people about the relations between humans and non-humans
- To establish a trap-neuter-return management program for feral cats and other animals where appropriate
- To educate the public regarding the need to reduce the population of stray or abandoned animals in Hawai’i through spaying and neutering their companion animals
- To prevent over-breeding of animals by providing or supplementing funds to people with companion animals to have their companion animal spayed or neutered
- To cooperate with different types of institutions by providing volunteer experiences within the Sanctuary and/or community service opportunities
- To assist in the prevention of cruelty to animals, and such other purposes as the directors may from time to time adopt, consistent with the overall mission of the Sanctuary
