Azaya Ranch Sanctuary is a non-profit animal rescue and sanctuary in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. What started out over twenty years ago as one woman’s passion, has now grown into a full-fledged rescue and sanctuary that exists to save animals from euthanasia and find them loving, forever homes.

Our animals come from shelters from all over California, including Bakersfield, Lake County, Ukiah, and, of course, San Francisco. Many of the animals we rescue have been abused, neglected, and abandoned, while some have been well-loved and cared for by now-deceased guardians or families who have lost their home. Some have health and behavioral issues they need help overcoming, and all show us just how strong a spirit can be.

While each staff member lives to love every animal who arrives at Azaya Ranch Sanctuary, nothing makes us happier than matching them with their perfect forever home. All of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on all of their shots before they are adopted out. And to make the transition even easier, we offer on-site training for new adopters, helping to ensure that both animals and people will thrive in their new home.
