About Us

Born in Hollywood, CA, as a youngster Donna would rescue rabbits, seagulls, cats, and dogs. She earned her BS degree in Health Education with High Honors from the University of Florida and earned her MSN from the University of Phoenix. 

 Donna has always gravitated towards caring for others, and animals since childhood.

She was Executive Director of Disability Awareness Now (DAWN), an independent center for individuals challenged by physical disabilities. As an entrepreneur she helped create an online healthcare educational site called CEUFast.com that is now accredited nationwide.

Donna retired in 2016 and now dedicates her time to helping care for all the animals here at “All Creatures Great And Small Sanctuary”

Leslie was born and raised in Starke, FL. Coming from a small town, he was raised around animals of all sorts. As he constantly tells Donna “I’m just a country boy and we know a little about a lot of things but not much about anything!”

Leslie and Donna have rescued domestic, feral, and wild animals for a total of 38 years. Since they retired, they created a non-profit “All Creatures Great And Small Sanctuary”.

Animals we acquire are those we find who are lost and roaming outside establishments. Animals who have been abused and need a new home. Animals who have no one to care for them, or their owners are no longer able to care for them. Animals whom are unable to be rehomed due to trauma

"When our Lord created the world, he put us humans in charge of taking care of all his creatures and this is what we do at All Creatures Great And Small Sanctuary."
