At Animal Care Sanctuary, our mission is simple: to turn compassion into action. We are dedicated to providing a lifesaving environment for dogs and cats by helping them find loving homes, promoting the human-animal bond, and preventing suffering through spay and neuter services.
Founded by Lesley Sinclair in 1967, Animal Care Sanctuary has spent over 55 years preventing cruelty and helping thousands of animals find their forever homes. Today, we stand as a destination shelter and a thought leader in the industry, focused on solving animal overpopulation and homelessness.
More than just a shelter, we provide comprehensive, state-of-the-art care to the animals in our facility. Our on-site veterinary clinic offers essential services including spay and neuter surgeries, wellness exams, and specialized treatments for rescued animals. We believe in providing holistic care that sets our residents up for long-term health and success.
We believe in the power of thoughtful matching to create families that last a lifetime. Our dedicated team works closely with you to understand your lifestyle and goals, ensuring that every adoption is a joyful partnership. Because we provide lifetime post-adoption support, you are never alone on your journey with your new best friend.
Whether you are ready to find your new best friend or want to support our life-saving work, there are many ways to connect with us. You can explore our adoptable animals online or visit our East Smithfield location to meet them in person. We invite you to join our community and help us pave the way for a brighter future for every animal.
