Alan and Sheree Napier along with their three children Melissa, Heather and Alana have recently opened their Bradenton family farm to the animals of Napier's Log Cabin Horse & Animal Sanctuary, inc. The sanctuary provides temporary homes and rehabilitation for horses, pigs, chickens, dogs and cats until permanent adoptive homes can be found. The sanctuary, a 10 acre farm, also provides permanent homes to animals that cannot be adopted out for various reasons.

Jack & Hawk, personally owned by the Napiers, provide horseback rides to anyone interested. People may ride them around the trail on the property. It's also a great place for a child's birthday party, school outing, scout outing, any group or family outing. Educational material can be provided on the animals geared toward the age group and animal studied. Proceeds from the rides benefit the animals at the sanctuary. To schedule a time for rides or group visits, please call the sanctuary at 941-750-8185.

Residing at the sanctuary are potbelly pigs Miss Piggy, Stinkin' Lincoln, Wilbur, Princess Fiona, Harley and Hannah. These little gals and guy came to the sanctuary after growing too large to be kept by their previous owners. They love to be petted and fed snacks. They will beg and tell you how much they appreciate your attention. Unfortunately, when born they are very cute and small, only to grow up to be too large to be allowed in the city. If you live in an area that allows farm animals, please call and adopt us!

Two rescued horses remain permanently at the sanctuary that need sponsoring. Neither horse is rideable or adoptable. Sponsors will receive progress reports and updated photos of these horses by email.

Jack & Hawk are owned by the Napiers and were donated to the sanctuary to provide horseback rides for anyone interested.

Tax ID #47-0943243.  REG. #CH18163  100% of Donations Go To Caring for the Animals.

The sanctuary relies on the generosity of the community to survive. No other government funding or grants are received. Please remember the animals at the sanctuary in your will. Every penny counts! Anonymous cash donations can be made at any Bank of America to the Horse & Animal Sanctuary Fundraising Account.

Adoption donations help pay for emergency vet bills, shots, worming, spaying/neutering, microchipping, coggins for horses, food, shelter, transportation, transfer fees to save them from high-kill shelters or auctions, heartworm testing and monthly prevention. Some animals require more money and time from sicknesses or some are unadoptable and need care for life. The Sanctuary needs all the donations an animal is able to bring in as the money is used for ALL the animals to provide the above services. While vet care is provided at reduced rates thanks to generous vets that work with us, it still is expensive!

ADOPTION DONATIONS: Most large breed dogs are $100; most small breed dogs are $185; most large breed puppies are $185; and most small breed puppies are $299. Puppies require care until 12 weeks of age, where at this time they can be spayed/neutered, will have 3 sets of shots including Rabies, wormed, microchipped, on heartworm prevention and FREE 30-day pet insurance for illnesses.
