Sale Ranch Animal Sanctuary

Sale Ranch Animal Sanctuary operates as a rescue and refuge for farm animals across Temecula Wine Country, taking in horses, goats, sheep, chickens, and other livestock that have been neglected, surrendered, or retired from agricultural use. The organization provides medical care, long-term boarding, and behavioral rehabilitation for animals that might otherwise face slaughter or abandonment. Most animals stay permanently; the sanctuary functions as a terminal care facility rather than a short-term foster network. Local residents engage through volunteering on-site — mucking stalls, fence repair, animal feeding, and basic husbandry — or by making financial contributions to cover feed, veterinary bills, and facility maintenance. The sanctuary also welcomes educational visits and small group tours for schools and families interested in understanding farm animal welfare and rescue work. For those seeking hands-on animal work without dog or cat fostering, or for donors interested in funding sanctuary operations rather than traditional shelter adoptions, Sale Ranch represents a direct route into that kind of service.
