The 33-Year-Old reportedly cares for the animals daily as she doesn’t take vacations or perhaps working from morning until night. She added: ‘A dog may be terrified of me at first, but it learns from the others here that this home is safe, then takes comfort and joy from the other dogs. A feral pig doesn’t have to face its fears of humans; it gets its social needs completely fulfilled by the other pigs.’

‘The parrots can spend an entire day conversing and interacting with other parrots, which is more fulfilling of their natural needs’

‘The parrots can spend an entire day conversing and interacting with other parrots, which is more fulfilling of their natural needs. It’s my heaven on Earth, but it’s technically demanding. This is especially true because the residents are generally either neglected, unhealthy, unhandled, and seniors.’

Nonetheless, Adri has spent around $50,000 over the last year for the sanctuary, with an average feed bill of $1300 monthly. She does her pet’s photos on social media will inspire donations from people worldwide, but then Adri wouldn’t be opening her sanctuary to the public as she feels it’s stressful for the animals.
