About Journey's End Animal Sanctuary |
|
In order to preserve Journey's End, a board of directors was formed in August, 1988 and non-profit status 501(c)(3) was granted in 1999. Initially, the sanctuary was personally funded by its founder, Florence Thuot. Donations and animal sponsorships currently provide operating funds. The founder and proprietor of Journey's End, Florence Thuot, started the shelter in 1974. At that time, she and her late husband Paul were employed as animal cruelty investigators for the Volusia County Sheriff's Department. They began their compassionate endeavor by bringing home some of the most needy animals. |

Journey's End Animal Sanctuary provides lifetime care and shelter for
dogs, cats, horses, pigs, sheep, and birds that have been abused, neglected or have special needs. Rather
than emphasizing adoption, Journey's End provides a homelike setting
where animals can enjoy the remainder of their lives in a comfortable,
loving atmosphere.
Our sanctuary is located in Glenwood, near DeLand, Florida. We currently
have capacity for over 300 animals. At this time, we are at full
capacity and have a lengthy waiting list. We hope to expand our
facility, with the help of public donations and generous benefactors.
