You Have The Power To Change Future

At Villa Chardonnay, we believe that every life has value, no matter the age or condition. By saving senior and unadoptable animals that others have discarded, you are helping to change the future. These animals, often overlooked, teach us about the importance of compassion, empathy, and the value of life at every stage. Together, we can educate the world on the importance of humanity, reminding people that every being, no matter how old or imperfect, deserves love, care, and respect. Join us in making a difference and changing tomorrow, one life at a time.

“Did you know that rescuing senior or discarded animals can be one of the most rewarding experiences? These wise souls often come with a lifetime of love to give! Senior pets are typically calmer, more grateful, and ready to snuggle up and share their hearts with you. By adopting a senior animal, you’re not just giving them a second chance; you’re gaining a loyal companion who knows the value of a warm home and unconditional love. Plus, they often come with a few tricks up their sleeves, having mastered the art of relaxation and cuddling! Embrace the joy of giving a deserving animal a forever home, and discover the incredible bond that can only come from rescuing a senior friend.”

Advocacy for Senior and Disabled Animals

Join us in our mission to enhance the lives of abandoned and neglected animals through our dedicated fundraising efforts. Your generous donations are vital in providing essential resources, including nutritious food, necessary medical care, and the loving forever homes that over 600 animals desperately need and truly deserve. Every contribution ensures that these deserving animals receive the attention, care, and compassion they require to flourish. With your support, we can continue to make a meaningful impact, giving these animals a second chance at a joyful and healthy life. Together, we can forge a brighter future for these vulnerable beings and make a lasting difference in their lives.

Our Mission & Vision

Mission Statement


At Villa Chardonnay, Horses with Wings, Inc., our sanctuary is a haven of compassion and love for senior animals, with a special focus on horses, as well as small animals such as cats, dogs, and other critters. We are dedicated to giving these gentle souls a forever home where they can experience the care, respect, and kindness they have always deserved. Many of our residents come to us from lives of abuse, neglect, or the brink of slaughter, and our mission is to heal their wounds—both physical and emotional.

We stand as a voice for the voiceless, striving to improve animal rights and eliminate the cruelty of abusive training practices. Our commitment is to provide long-term, specialized care for elderly and special needs animals, ensuring they live out their lives in peace and dignity. At Villa Chardonnay, every creature we rescue becomes family, and we are honored to offer them a permanent sanctuary where they can finally find the love and safety they deserve.

Vision Statement

A world where every animal finds safety, love, and a forever home, and sanctuaries are no longer needed because compassion has become the norm.
