A safe haven for animals on 11 acres in Warne, NC.
Guardian Angel Acres is home to chickens, pigs, goats, sheep, horses, mini-horses, cows, and of course dogs. The Senior Scenter, for small senior dogs, is operated under the Puppies Under Protection 501(c)(3) nonprofit, registered in Florida and North Carolina.
Our mission is to care for each and every animal that has made their way to our sanctuary, offering love, emotional and medical support for as long as they need it.
This farm is a dream of Karl and Jeanne Strack. Since their marriage in 1975 they've lost many friends and family members — and still talk to them often, believing they're listening. The farm always felt so safe and comfortable that, soon after moving in, the name "Guardian Angel Acres" seemed to fit.
The farm was purchased on July 2, 2005. The Senior Scenter dog house opened on November 7, 2014.
Raina is a spunky mini horse born April 12, 2020, missing the last set of bones in her rear hooves, which never developed. She and her mom Ruthie came to Guardian Angel Acres when Raina was only 6 days old. Her hooves turned under and inward, bruising the tops, so the first step was raising her feet off the ground to relieve the pressure.
Raina's first set of boots consisted of hot-pink pool noodles! At only 30 lbs, they were sturdy enough to start. Her reaction was beyond expectations — she didn't miss a beat and literally took off running.
