Animal Kingdom was founded in 2021 during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic. Like many others, our family faced a crisis that tested our resilience. Homelessness forced us into an apartment that didn't accept pets, and our beloved pitbull, unfairly labeled as aggressive due to her breed, had nowhere to go. The few extended boarding options available came with exorbitant costs of over $500, a sum we simply couldn't afford given our circumstances. Heartbroken and out of options, we had to surrender her to an animal shelter.

This painful experience ignited a mission in us: to create a sanctuary where families in crisis wouldn't have to choose between their wellbeing and their beloved pets. Animal Kingdom was born from this vision.

Our organization exists to offer free boarding for families facing temporary hardships, ensuring that their pets are cared for with love and dignity. We accept all domestic animals, including birds and iguanas, recognizing that pets come in many forms and each one deserves a safe haven.

At Animal Kingdom, we are committed to keeping pets with their families for as long as needed, completely free of charge. In cases where reunification isn't possible, we also facilitate adoptions to find these animals loving, permanent homes.

We wish Animal Kingdom had been there for us when we needed it most. Now, we are here for others, turning our difficult experience into a source of hope and support for families in crisis.
