Safe in Austin: A shelter where special needs animals meet special needs children.
#1
Safe in Austin is a very special animal shelter. They take in the damaged animals that no one else will take. They have  a real mixture of animals ranging from goats and horses and chickens to cats and dogs and rabbits. I saw a squirrel and a Macaw too. These animals are all given a chance at a happy life. 
It doesn't end there. The sanctuary is open to special needs children. They come and play with the animals and form bonds with them. They often find an animal whose injuries or defects match their own. From relating to that animal they gain confidence and acceptance.

Safe in Austin is now a ten acre farm where all are welcome.

This sounds like an amazing place. I would love to visit them.  Animals have so much to teach us. Animals that struggle with deformities and injuries can give so much more just by their example. They carry on and do their best no matter how damaged they are. They can be happy no matter what life has given them.
 I wish there were more places like Safe in Austin.
