Janice Donaldson Grijns endowed the sanctuary in honor of her late father, Enoch J. Donaldson. In her words “Mr. Donaldson was an abused foster child working on a farm in southern Georgia, where he was abused and beaten. The only love and goodness he knew in his life came from the farm animals, whose names he remembered all his life. He never met a homeless animal who remained homeless.”
