Our history
After rescuing our first pig, we saw a need for a network that would connect sanctuaries within our state. We formed our animal rescue organization to create an alliance with sanctuaries and animal protection organizations. We then realized how many sanctuaries were in need of volunteers and made it our duty to ensure that those within our alliance have our support and services in helping animals.
Our mission
Our mission is to rescue farm animals, one precious life at a time, while fostering an enduring alliance with animal sanctuaries. We strive to provide ongoing support, enlist dedicated volunteers, and raise awareness within our communities about the vital role animal rescue organizations play in creating a compassionate world for all beings.
As seen in
Florida Animal Rescue Alliance was founded by Karol Lopez, an animal activist and mentor in the Animal Activism Mentorship Program of the organization now called the Animal Activism Collective (AAC), along with her mentee. Their journey began with a single rescue, which soon grew into an organization. After taking in a pig surrendered from a slaughterhouse, they realized that rescuing animals was just the first step—sanctuaries needed more volunteers to provide ongoing care. Karol also envisioned a network where sanctuaries could connect and support one another. This mission ultimately led to the creation of the Florida Animal Rescue Alliance “FARA”.
