Meet Our Adopted
& Sanctuary Residents
We have placed countless adoptable pets with caring individuals and have many more in search of their loving, forever home. There is an adoption fee to cover the spay/neuter surgery and shots. Contact the rescue by calling (352) 359-5430 or email sweetwaterrnr@gmail.com for application and information on scheduling a home inspection, background check for any past animal abuse or violence incidents, a veterinarian reference and home delivery.

Sponsor an Animal,
Change a Life
Not all of our animals are adoptable. Many will live out their natural lives and be cared for here at Sweet Water. You can help by sponsoring one of our amazing residents. Your financial support will help us provide food, medical care and improve conditions for the animal you choose to sponsor. You can even arrange a visit to meet your friend and let them show their appreciation.
When you sponsor an animal, you become part of a family of people who have the satisfaction of giving special support to the permenant animals at Sweet Water. The costs for their daily care and maintenance (including food, veterinary care, shelter, grooming, etc.) consume a large part of the farm’s annual budget. Your animal sponsorship helps with expenses incurred by the hundreds of inhabitants on the farm in sanctuary care.

Sponsorship benefits include exclusive photos and updates about your sponsored animal throughout the year and opportunities to schedule a visit with your animal. If you are interested in sponsoring, please email us at sweetwaterrnr@gmail.com
