There is a serious Cat and Dog overpopulation crisis. The unacceptable solution: Destroy the unwanted. Millions of Cats and Dogs are legally killed — euthanized — every year. The sheer obscenity of these numbers appalled our founder, Emily Jo Beard, who believed in reverence for all life — animal-kind as well as human-kind. She was convinced that education and planning could eliminate unnecessary euthanasia as a "solution".
In 1980 Emily acquired 153 acres in the San Jacinto Mountains near Idyllwild and named it
Living Free Animal Sanctuary — which is the only sanctuary founded by Emily. She devoted the rest of her life to providing refuge for orphaned Cats and Dogs. "We have an obligation to better the lives of the animals with whom we share the earth," said Emily.
