Animal Sanctuary Travel Insurance

What is an Animal Sanctuary?

An animal sanctuary is a facility where animals are brought to live and be protected for the rest of their lives. Unlike big game sanctuaries, these often focus on smaller or domestic animals such as cats, dogs, birds, and farm animals. These sanctuaries provide a crucial role in the rescue, rehabilitation, and care of animals that have been abused, abandoned, or are in need of special care.
