My name is Pat!

Ultimately we want the animals we've spent love and energy on to find homes that will work best with their personality types. We never want to set anyone up for failure. Open communication is key.

BB's Animal Rescue and Nature Sanctuary (B.A.R.N.S.) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, located in Bushnell, Florida, just an hour North of Tampa, that rescues and provides sanctuary to abandoned, abused, homeless, neglected, and surrendered exotic and farm animals. We encourage the compassion of these creatures through education, advocacy, and community engagement. Our hope is to build a more compassionate world where exotic and farm animals are treated as individuals and given a chance to live healthy, safe, and fulfilled lives.
