Our Mission

Sunrise Sanctuary, Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit that has rescued and cared for farmed and companion animals for over 20 years.  Animals who were once abandoned, abused, or neglected receive a second chance at life and a forever home. At Sunrise Sanctuary we encourage more humane and compassionate behaviors and believe that each living creature has value and deserves to live free of suffering and exploitation.

Get Involved

We are a 501c3 non-profit charity (IRS #20-0065462).

As a grass-roots, primarily volunteer based organization, we rely heavily on your monetary donations, in-kind donations, and volunteer support to care for the animals. Without you, we cannot not exist!

Your donation is tax deductible and consistent with IRS Guidelines, we provide a letter for you for each donation.
