Over 20 years ago, Angela Ardolino moved to a cozy farmhouse on three acres in Lutz, FL. There, she founded Fire Flake Farm, a rescue sanctuary dedicated to providing a safe haven for neglected dogs and farm animals who had been given up on. Just as she did in her childhood, Angela created a place where animals could find peace, love, and a second chance.
Throughout her years at Fire Flake Farm, Angela cared for a wide range of animals—including birds, pigs, bunnies, dogs, donkeys, and more—offering them a nurturing environment and holistic care. Her own beloved pack of dogs, including Nina, Odie, Miss Daisie, Rhemi, and Potato, shared this special home with many foster animals along the way. Today, her two remaining canine companions, Jolene and Maza, continue to carry on the legacy of love that Fire Flake Farm was built upon.
While Angela no longer resides at Fire Flake Farm, the spirit of this sanctuary continues to inspire her work. The experiences she had there, alongside animals with diverse needs, helped shape her commitment to holistic wellness and natural care for pets everywhere.
