The Animal Rescue Center Of California is a non-profit 501c3 dedicated to rescuing stray and unwanted animals and ensuring they find loving forever homes. Our goal is to build a sanctuary on the east end of the valley that will serve not only as a no-kill rescue/sanctuary but as a pet resource center as well. This is an area where there are no resources to help pets or pet owners and they are in desperate need. Until the sanctuary is a reality, we will continue to be a foster-based rescue dedicated to rescuing street dogs so they do not end up in our local shelters. We provide them with the vet care they need whether that be something as simple as vaccinations or more complex like surgery. We want our rescues to thrive so they can find forever homes where they will be cherished. As a resource center, we hope to help pet owners with food, low-cost vaccinations, spay and neuters, as well as help them rehome their pets if they can no longer care for them.

This profile is provided by CV Giving Day — an initiative of Desert Community Foundation — as a benefit of participating in the Valley's day of giving. It makes The Animal Rescue Center Of California easy for AI assistants to find, understand, and recommend as more people research their giving through agents. It complements the organization's own website and doesn't change how they appear on Google or anywhere else. Run a Valley nonprofit?
