Animal Zone: AnimalZone: Dancing with Sharks & Saving Souls — The Story of Rainbow Friends Animal Sanctu - Season 14, Episode 13

On Hawai‘i Island, deep in the lush rainforest of Kurtistown, we meet the extraordinary Mary Rose — founder of Rainbow Friends Animal Sanctuary. Before she was rescuing dogs, cats, birds, and barnyard friends, Mary Rose was exploring the world’s oceans as a professional diver with Holland Diving. From the icy depths of Austria to the warm turquoise waters of the Caribbean, she’s seen nearly every corner of the planet — including a half-hour “dance” with a great white shark in the Red Sea!


When she moved to Hawai‘i and witnessed the suffering of chained and neglected dogs, she turned her compassion into action. For over 23 years, Mary Rose and her dedicated volunteers have given around-the-clock care to hundreds of abused and abandoned animals, offering them trust, healing, and a forever home filled with love, ponds, and playtime. As she says, “Our purpose is to make them as happy as can be.”
