Sanctuary animals could be euthanized after Fannie Mae takes over Rented property
Aug 31, 2016
NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. - Hundreds of animals at a New Smyrna Beach sanctuary could be euthanized if homes can't be found for them.
A woman and her husband were evicted from the property, which they have rented for years, now that Fannie Mae has taken it over.
"They’re like members of the family,” said Forever Farm Animal Sanctuary owner Tina Richardson.
Richardson cares for more than 400 animals that now must leave the property.
"We have to be out by Tuesday," she said.
Richardson said she doesn't have a new place to take all of her animals, and with her departure deadline looming, she worries that the animals will be put down.
Animal control officials said it's unlikely that there are enough local animal organizations to save every animal in her care.
"It would basically destroy me. You might as well just euthanize me, because these animals have always been my life," said Richardson.
Among the animals are wild hogs, miniature horses, donkeys, turkey, roosters, pigeons, opossums and raccoons.
"(I have) goats and chickens and ducks and 28 cats and seven dogs, and anything that wanders in here and finds a home. So it's kind of hard to say what all I really have," said Richardson.
Volusia County Animal Control said most of the animals appear to be in good health, with the exception of two miniature horses whose ribs are showing.
Richardson hopes someone can take them all in temporarily until she finds a new home.
"It's like a dark cloud settling over you, and you cease to be able to function. The animals are relying on me. So I have to be able to keep going forward and staying positive," said Richardson.
An animal control spokesperson said that if the animals are still on the property on Tuesday, Richardson could face neglect and abandonment charges.
Community helps hundreds of animals at risk of being euthanized
Updated: Sep 1, 2016
NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. - More than 400 animals on a New Smyrna Beach property that were at risk of being euthanized are moving to a new home.
Tina Richardson, the owner of the Forever Farm Animal Sanctuary, was being evicted and had problems finding a place to relocate the animals.
“They’re going to go and have a good life, but it’s bittersweet because I’m not going to be with them,” Richardson said.
Richardson’s property is bank-owned, and with no place for her animals to go, there was a possibility they would have to be put down.
But the community stepped in to help her out.
In addition to about 500 emails from people wanting to help, Richardson’s phone hasn’t stopped ringing since Channel 9 reported about Richardson’s sanctuary on Wednesday.
“It’s blown me away. People really, really care,” said Richardson.
Steven Koralewic, of Florida Adventures and Paradise, was one of many who stepped in to help.
“We have the land, we have the employees, we have the know-how to take care of these animals,” said Koralewicz.
His crew can’t take the dogs and cats, but they’re loading up the rest, which includes a lot of farm animals.
“You know they’re going to be OK, but it’s like, ripping my heart out,” Richardson said.
The animal rescue agrees to keep the animals until Richardson finds a new place she can afford to live in and continue her sanctuary.
Rescuers who removed 400 animals from sanctuary concerned about conditions, but no violations found
Sep 6, 2016
NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. - All the animals have been removed from a New Smyrna Beach animal sanctuary before Tuesday’s eviction deadline.
More than 400 animals at risk of being euthanized needed a place to go after a bank gave the Forever Farm animal sanctuary a week to vacate the bank-owned property.
A number of people across Central Florida came together to help owner Tina Richardson find places for her animals to stay.
Some said that they were concerned about the conditions of the animals, but Volusia County Animal Services director Sergio Pacheco said officials found no violations.
"These animals are off the property at this time and they're in better areas at this point," said Pacheco. "If the lady wanted to live that way, as long as the animals have nutrition, they have food, water, shelter and they have clean air that they can breathe, and they appear to be in good shape, there isn't a violation."
Pacheco said many of the cats were roaming the property and the ones in cages were in “pretty good health.”
Steven Koralewic of Florida Adventures and Paradise was one of many who stepped in to help.
His crew could not take the dogs and cats, but they were able to take the donkeys and a lot of farm animals.
The animal rescue agreed to keep the animals until Richardson finds a new place in which she can afford to live and continue her sanctuary.
"There were no violations, according to that report. So other than minor infractions, there was really nothing to hold this lady on cruelty," said Pacheco.
Pacheco said Richardson has given away all the animals, and "they seemed to be fine."
"Our officer viewed the conditions where the person was living at. However, the animals were running in and out of the house. They seemed to be in good condition. They were being fed. They were watered," said Pacheco.
Pacheco said there were small violations involving some of the livestock, which were forwarded to Florida Fish and Game.
There were also complaints of cruelty to chickens, but Pacheco said his crew found no violations.

A New Smyrna Beach man faces a charge of lewd and lascivious conduct as a result of a complaint filed against him earlier this month in Port Orange.
Jeffrey Eric Richardson, 49, was arrested on a warrant at his residence Wednesday, Port Orange police Capt. Frank Surmaczewicz said.
A Port Orange couple filed a complaint April 10, alleging that Richardson had inappropriate conduct with children while he was a guest in their home, Surmaczewicz said.
Anyone with information on Richardson can contact Detective Steve Braddock at 386-506-5887.
