Since 1982, We Care Animal Rescue has been dedicated to improving the quality of life for local companion animals by providing shelter, compassionate care, and vital community resources. We are committed to giving every animal in our care a second chance at finding their perfect forever home.
Located in the heart of Napa Valley, we recognized a unique need in our community for an organization that could support animals requiring specialized care. While many rescues focus on young, healthy animals, we provide a safe haven for those with advanced medical needs, chronic conditions, or long-term medication requirements.
As a limited-admission, nonprofit shelter, we offer a dedicated space where animals receive medical assistance, daily enrichment, and personalized attention from our hardworking staff and volunteers. We believe in providing a comfortable, supportive environment where residents can thrive while they wait for their future families. Our transparency and commitment to accountability are recognized by our Platinum Seal of Transparency from GuideStar, ensuring your support is managed thoughtfully.
Finding your new best friend should be a joyful, stress-free experience. Our adoption process is simple and straightforward, and our team is here to help you make a thoughtful, lasting connection with a pet that suits your lifestyle. Whether you are looking for a playful kitten, a senior companion, or a loyal dog, we are honored to facilitate the start of your journey together.
We invite you to visit us in St. Helena to meet our wonderful shelter residents. We are open for walk-ins Wednesday through Sunday, from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. If those times do not work for you, please contact us to schedule an appointment—we cannot wait to introduce you to your next family member!
