Update: November 19, 2025 

As of mid- October SAINTS is now fully transitioned to our new property - a major milestone for our sanctuary.  The good news: we've raised $1,030,000 of our $1.1 million goal through the Give Love, Give Sanctuary Campaign.  Now with year-end approaching, we-re working hard to raise the final $70,000 needed by December 31st to cover the remaining costs of essential upgrades and renovations.  

Every contribution brings us closer to securing a safe, sustainable future for our senior and special needs animals.

Our Challenge

Since 2004, more than 1,000 senior, palliative, and special needs animals have called SAINTS home. As time has passed, the need for our sanctuary has only increased and we have outgrown our current 3-acre property.  Our sanctuary and foster network consistently care for over 100 animals across a diverse range of species. We are bursting at the seams. 

With our foundation crumbling, our main house is in such a condition that we have had to curtail our intake of larger dogs.  The dogs have to rotate use of the only outdoor field with the 30 barn animals and we have too many cats sharing space.  During our increasingly hot summers, our water is drying up sooner and sooner.

All of this is restricting our ability to give above-average enrichment let alone accept more animals who desperately need SAINTS.  We needed a more sustainable place for our resident animals, volunteers, and staff. Bandage solutions to fix infrastructure issues at our aging sanctuary were no longer viable.

A new home, a new beginning

We pledge to love them, to care for them, and make their dreams come true. We promise each one they will never be alone again.

Our Solution

Simply put we need a new property to properly care for our current animals and provide space for many more.  A new sanctuary will not only provide more space but also many improved features for our animals such as adequate ventilation, outdoor space, and medical facilities. 

Our current Mission property was sold in March 2024, and we have been fortunate enough to find a beautiful new 5 acre location in Maple Ridge.  We took possession at the end of September 2024. Mid October 2025 we were able to move onto our new property.
