Chenoa Manor is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization which serves as a safe home for animals with nowhere left to turn.
Our sanctuary is home to over 200 animals, including those rescued from factory farms, animals used in lab experiments, and various exotic species. Most of Chenoa Manor's residents were either neglected, abused, or en route to slaughter prior to being rescued.
All the animals accepted at Chenoa Manor become permanent residents of the sanctuary and are not adopted out to individuals. They are provided a lifetime of care, safety, and compassion on Chenoa Manor's twenty-five acre farm.
The animal's daily needs and veterinary care are provided by Dr. Rob Teti, Chenoa Manor's Executive Director and licensed veterinarian.
Chenoa Manor encourages the positive interaction of at-risk teenagers with our animal residents. The importance of this experience is to instill a sense of compassion and respect toward other individuals through positive interaction with animals. If a young person can develop a relationship with an animal resident based upon mutual trust, patience, and understanding, then those same qualities may be carried over to the teen's relationships with other individuals.
In addition, Chenoa Manor encourages a more compassionate and humane world via the abstenance of violence toward animals and the promotion of a vegetarian lifestyle. There is a well-documented connection between animal abuse and abuse against people. Chenoa Manor's goal is to halt this cycle of abuse through humane educational programs and positive life experiences.
