Meet our beloved residents

Welcome to NurtureNestSanctuary in Parrish, Florida. From playful rescue duos to dedicated gentle giant ambassadors, each animal here receives a safe haven, attentive medical care, and lifelong compassion. Discover their unique personalities and stories below.

Permanent sanctuary stars: Watson, Sherlock, Dottie, and Maverick

Our permanent residents have found their forever sanctuary here. Watson and Sherlock, our curious pig brothers, spend sunny days rooting about and greeting visitors with cheerful grunts. Meanwhile, Dottie and Maverick, our beloved Great Dane ambassadors, welcome every newcomer with gentle hearts and boundless affection—proving that love knows no size.

Feline friends seeking loving homes

Our cozy cat rooms are currently home to adorable adoptables awaiting their forever families. Meet Luke and Leia, energetic kitten twins full of curiosity, alongside affectionate siblings Venus and Pluto. You will also fall in love with goofy Pumba and sweet Calypso, a gentle soul who blossoms with gentle affection. Every rescue undergoes quarantine, comprehensive medical checks, and vaccinations before joining adoption events.

Expanding sanctuary care and community support

In addition to caring for cats, dogs, and pigs, we provide a peaceful haven for rescue bunnies and are preparing our pastures to welcome horses soon. You can make a direct difference in the lives of these incredible animals by sponsoring a resident’s specialized care, becoming a monthly donor, or meeting them in person at our Parrish community outreach events.
