In Loving Memory of Max



"Building A New Hope has been by far the biggest challenge I've ever taken on but without a doubt the most rewarding. I'm building more than just a sanctuary. I'm building a platform to change the world, friendships, and character."
Max, September 5, 2015



Max's original site in Georgia, A New Hope Animal Sanctuary and Education Center,
has closed due to the tragic death of Founder and Director, Maxine Raney Giffin Baird.
All cherished animals have been placed in good care. May Max's good works live on
in all who have been graced by her focused enthusiasm and heart of compassion.
Please visit a new site, opened in honor of Max:
