Our Story

How We Began:
A Journey of Love

Nestled in the peaceful pastures of Taylor, Mississippi, Wellery Animal Sanctuary is a heart-led rescue dedicated to saving, healing, and rehoming animals across Mississippi and the Southeast. What began as a small family farm with a deep love for animals has grown into a thriving sanctuary where compassion meets purpose.

At Wellery, every rescue has a story — from abandoned puppies and neglected farm animals to injured strays found along the country roads near Oxford, MS. Our mission is to give each one a second chance through comprehensive veterinary care, rehabilitation, and adoption into loving forever homes.

We believe that healing happens when humans and animals connect. That’s why our sanctuary is more than a shelter — it’s a community hub where people of all ages can learn, volunteer, and grow alongside the animals they help save. Through Wellery Workshops, youth programs, and community partnerships, we educate and inspire kindness, empathy, and sustainable care for all living beings.

Every adoption through Wellery includes full vetting, vaccinations, microchipping, and dedicated post-adoption support. 100% of donations and adoption fees directly fund animal care, feed, medical supplies, and rescue expansion — ensuring your contribution makes an immediate impact.

Our mission:
To rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals in need while fostering compassion, education, and community engagement throughout Mississippi.

We Are Wellery Farms Sanctuary

Our journey began with one dog — scared, hungry, and in need of a safe place to land. What started as a simple act of compassion quickly grew into a calling. With every rescue, every recovery, and every new wagging tail, Wellery Farms became more than a sanctuary — it became a living expression of love, healing, and second chances. Born from the same roots as Wellery Workshops, our sanctuary reflects the belief that caring for animals and nurturing the human spirit go hand in hand. Here, healing happens in both directions — from the animals we save, and through the lives they touch in return.
