AnimO - Mina's Animal Sanctuary

My name is Mina and I rescue animals in Japan. I have been diagnosed with terminal cancer and I'm using the time I have left to finish building my dream sanctuary so we can keep saving animals long after I'm gone. My sanctuary, AnimO ("Animal Oasis") is located near Tokyo. It is Japan's first true land-based exotic animal sanctuary. Together with volunteers we usually care for up to 100 unwanted & special needs animals, which otherwise would have stayed in cages or even worse... 

We try to give them the best possible life at the sanctuary, so they can recover from their past and live happily in the present. 

In the future, I hope that I can build an education centre spreading awareness about animal welfare.
