Rooterville Animal Sanctuary is located in Melrose, FL. Rooterville provides a safe and compassionate refuge to rescued farm animals. These precious farm animals are just like our pet dogs and cats. Every one is an individual who deserves to be loved and be treated kindly. We provide them all with a healthy diet and comfy home filled with love and good care. Our residents, which we kindly refer to as ambassadors, are the lucky ones who have come here from all sorts of situations but primarily as the result of abuse, abandonment, and neglect. They include pot-bellied pigs, farm pigs, cows, goats, turkeys, mini-horses, horses, chickens and a few dogs and cats. Rooterville Animal Sanctuary currently provides a beautiful home to over one hundred rescued animals. ​ Rooterville was founded by Elaine West in 2004 to care for the many unwanted, abandoned, and abused pot-bellied pigs in need of a safe and loving home. Unfortunately, most animal control agencies or Humane Societies will not take in unwanted pet pigs or farm animals, so many of these former pets end up meeting a gruesome fate simply because no one is there to help. Sadly, we have to turn away more than 10 animals every week because we do not have the funding or the space to save them. You can help by generously supporting Rooterville so that we can meet our needs of feed and staffing to care for the animals we have and have the ability to take in more of these unwanted refugees. We are willing to do more and help more, we just need more good people like you, willing to pay the cost of caring for these animals in dire need.

When you donate to Rooterville Animal Sanctuary you help us care for the animals here at Rooterville. Your kindness allows us to continue providing second chances to animals in need and encouraging more people just like you to make kinder choices in their daily lives. We can't save them all but together, we can make a HUGE difference in the numbers of animals being raised in brutally cruel conditions on factory farms by simply encouraging others to make kind choices. We need more good people to join us in making sure the animal's needs are met and with enough support, we can begin to accept more animals in dire need of rescue and lifelong care. Rescues are thrilling but once they are safe, those animals need daily care for many years. With your help, we can ensure that no animal is turned away because we cannot afford to help it. Will you join us? Together we are a mighty force for positive change! How you spend your money is crucial to making this world a better place.
