Swan Center Outreach, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, was established in 1999, for the purpose of rescuing abused and neglected animals; and educating the general public, about the spiritual and therapeutic value of a loving relationship with animals.
We view animals as teachers, healers and friends, because they have a wonderful capacity for teaching us compassion, patience and tolerance; for healing the mind and the body; and for showing us how to love and be loved in return.
