ANIMAL REFUGEE RESPONSE
Our Mission
Animal Refugee Response exists to respond responsibly and compassionately to animals in dire circumstances, with the underlying conviction that every life is a precious gift. We are dedicated to advocating for, rescuing, and protecting homeless animals while standing as a proud, no-kill alternative.
Why We Are Here
Founded in 2011, our organization was created to provide a sanctuary for those who have nowhere else to turn. We strive to be an example of what is possible when animals are held in high regard and recognized as an integral, cherished part of life on our planet.
Our Approach to Care
We are a strictly no-kill organization, meaning no animal in our care is ever destroyed due to age, health, or space. Unlike traditional shelters, our animals do not spend their lives in cages; cats roam freely in our feline habitat, while our dogs enjoy community environments with grass under their feet. We provide both short-term care for adoptable pets and long-term sanctuary for those who are considered unadoptable due to age or disability.
Finding Your Perfect Match
We believe that adopting an animal is a lifetime commitment, much like adopting a child. We carefully manage our adoption program to ensure our animals find loving, stable, and permanent homes that honor their unique personalities and needs. By thoughtfully matching extraordinary animals with committed people, we ensure a successful and joyful partnership for both the pet and the family.
Join Our Community
Every dollar donated goes directly toward the care of the animals waiting for their forever homes. We invite you to view our adoptable animals online or contact us to schedule an appointment to visit our facility in Vacaville. Together, we can build a kinder world for all living things.
