I am also proud of El Refugio for its many programs to help animals in need such as community assistance, spay & neuter clinics , and our shelter that provides compassion and care for homeless animals and then adoptions to good homes resulting in beautiful new lives. El Refugio works nonstop to make this a better world.”
