Home At Last Animal Sanctuary
Needs a New Home
Samantha Cristos is the founder of a 501©(3) non-profit animal sanctuary on the island of Hawai’i called Home at Last or HAL for short. She has been renting in the same location for over 18 years, but now her landlord wants to sell the property. She was originally given until the end of September to vacate, but the owner has extended her lease until the end of October. Samantha has been looking for a new location for over a year, and has had several promising options, but they have all fallen through. She would dearly love to relocate her sanctuary with all its inhabitants to a rural setting.
If this does not happen, she will be looking at euthanizing 81 animals, 11 dogs and 70 cats, in the next 2 weeks.
Please call or email Samantha if you have any leads on a rental property (details below), or property for sale on the Big Island for $89,000 or less.
Also, please contact her if you can save a life and take in a dog or a few cats.
Contact Samantha at homeatlastanimalrefuge@hawaiiantel.net or (808) 989-9089.
Samantha’s request:
It can be a 1-2 bedroom but must fall within the limitations I was given through Section 8 (county rental assistance). I am allowed from $925 to $1167 per month depending on the zip code I end up in. The catch will be to find a landlord that will accept me with all the animals. I am hoping to find a house that might have an adjacent barn or warehouse for the animals. All the animals will be in enclosures - no loose animals. I do carry liability insurance.

I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.
