WE ARE NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. We are often asked, “Why Not?”

The answer is: Sara’s Sanctuary is NOT a zoo. We are a rescue facility that was created to provide animals in need a quiet, predictable. safe and loving home, something many of them never known before.

Because of their backgrounds, many of the animals that are here can be unpredictable and reactive negatively around humans they don’t know. Many of animals were illegally purchased, abandoned and subsequently confiscated by city or county agencies before they were brought to us. They are innately wild animals and many need to be protected from the stress of further human exposure and interaction.

The animal’s daily care and well-being has to be our number one priority. We hope that you will be able to better know who these wonderful and deserving babies are through the information and pictures on this website of our many wonderful babies, and that you will better understand our mission for the animals that come to us. 

Baby bunnies Babies are back!

Very soon, there will be many baby critters out there, trying very hard to survive with nature and us HUMANS. There will be  many squirrels, cottontails,”wild rabbits,” raccoons, and fawns (baby deer), which might seem like they have been abandoned.  Please stop – before you make that decesion to pick them up. Usually, the situation is OK, and the mother has just been scared off by humans or other animals, or typically they are off feeding themselves. They are probably waiting nearby to continue to care for their babies until you go away! Please resist picking them up!  If you truly think they are injured or orphaned, only then – pick them up and intervine, and then you MUST take them to a licensed rehabilitation facility.  Please read the Baby Cottontail Information located on our “Contact Page” before you try to make that determination.
