Karino, rescued horse at Centaurus sanctuary
✅ Now safe at our farm
A story of second chances

Karino arrived barely alive.
Today he runs free.

When our team found Karino, he could barely stand. Malnourished, afraid and alone, he was one decision away from being put down.

Today he lives on our 400-hectare sanctuary in the Przemków Landscape Park in southwest Poland. He eats. He plays. He is safe. And it happened because someone decided to act.

At Centaurus, every horse has a name. Every donkey has a story. And every single one of them is here because of people like you, giving from the US, UK, Germany, Canada and Australia.

"I have donated to many animal charities. Centaurus is different. You can actually see where your money goes. I sponsor Marusia the donkey monthly and get regular updates. It is the most meaningful €30 I spend each month."
