Past Work:
The Animal Sanctuary
& Events



Animal Sanctuary



While living in San Dimas, CA, we created an Animal Sanctuary where we cared for over 350 animals as well as provided proper medical care and warm shelters for animal rescues and neglected pets. In exchange, our animal-friends worked as Ambassadors for Planet Rehab! They helped the public recognize the beauty of nature and the danger posed to their environment. We operated under the belief that holding a baby bunny, taking care of an Alpaca, or watching a baby bird hatch inspired all visitors to want to protect their natural habitats! ​


With our "2020 vision", we moved to Panama, and the animals that we cared for in the Animal Sanctuary were adopted and relocated to their new homes. The Animal Sanctuary was a huge part of Planet Rehab, and although it no longer exists in our new location in Panama, it continues to remind us of the importance of creating a safe and nurturing habitat for animals all over the world.

Animal conservation



Animal conservation is vital for the salvation of our environment



Not only is animal conservation important for allowing future generations to enjoy the diverse and amazing beauty on planet Earth, but it is also vital for the salvation of our environment. If one species dies out, it disrupts its surrounding ecosystem and can threaten other animals in the food chain. Animal conservation helps keep ecosystems balanced, providing the resources like clean air and water that both humans and animals require.
