Settlers Pond

In response to the current crisis in Arlington, Texas regarding
US Global Exotics, Settlers Pond will be receiving many new residents. Some will be fostered here until suitable homes can be found. US Global was the largest seizure of its kind in US history. 26,411 animals have been confiscated by the Texas SPCA with cruelty charges pending. Many animals were already dead or dying
at the facility. Investigate this atrocity at your own risk.
This is a great example of why we do what we do,
and we can't do it alone.
Please help with monetary donations as soon as possible.
As soon as the legalities are through,
Settlers Pond staff members will be on their way to
Texas to pick up new residents and some visitors
that we will foster until proper homes can be found.

We want to thank all those who made it out for our
Christmas Celebration and Tree Sale. It was a great succes,
but needs continue to arise. Please help where you can with
Monetary & Material Donations
to offset the missed revenue!

Some of our residents have been starved or abused. Some had owners who just couldn't care for them. Roland and Pinky Janota have dedicated their lives to helping and rehabilitating any animal brought into their paths. In the best case scenario, the goal is to place each animal back in the wild, or into a safe home or zoo. In some cases adoption or placement is not possible. In those situations, these guests become permanent residents, until they are called to the big green pasture in the sky.

Please feel free to contact us to adopt an available animal. We have several horses, dogs, cats and other animals available for adoption right now. Visit us to meet these wonderful creatures and consider Settlers Pond adoption for your next best friend.

Settlers Pond is affiliated with the federal Wild Burro and Mustang adoption program. Contact Settlers for information on the next adoption scheduled for these beautiful animals.

Settlers Pond Shelter has a strict policy that no animal will be turned away. We work solely on donations, so please help us continue our work by making your best donation. Click on the "Donations & Partnership" button to make an online donation or become a partner of Settlers Pond.
