Best Friends Farm was the lifelong dream of Cecilia Fernandez, who alongside her husband and co-founder was able to make it a reality in October of 2015.

A lifelong animal lover, Cecilia has dedicated her life to animal well-being and rescue.  

Cecilia is a firm believer in the power of the human-animal bond.  In her experience working with animals as therapy for children of all abilities, she witnessed empathy, unconditional love, patience and strength come through in the children’s progress and success. 

All of the animals at Best Friends Farm were rescued from the perils of abuse and neglect.  Providing them with a chance to live out the rest of their lives in the peace and dignity that they all deserve is a way of giving back what had so unjustly and arrogantly been taken away.  

Children often identify and bond with animals as they provide the unconditional love, trust and encouragement that is at times lacking in their lives.
