Welcome to the Raccoon Valley Animal Sanctuary & Rescue! We are here to help you find the right companion for life.

Our animals are well cared for in foster homes, where, they are socialized, trained and interacting with both animals and humans. This process helps our companions transition into their forever homes easier since they are living stress free from a shelter environment.

Every year millions of companion animals find themselves without homes. We can help you select the right match for life. Whether this is your first pet, or whether you are adding an addition to your furry family, we can help you save a life.

RVAS is dedicated to saving lives, through education, in-home consultation sessions, and through our many programs like our spay and neuter program.

We also have a number of "special needs" companions. While these guys and dolls may need a little "extra" love, they definitely give back an abundance of it!

Last year in the United States alone, 12 million animals entered the mere 6,000-8,000 shelters. Approximately 8 MILLION companions never received the opportunity to find loving homes and were euthanized. This is an epidemic. Simple solutions like spaying/neutering, state controlled breeding and more can save lives. Join RVAS in our fight to change the world on how we view these domestic companions and create laws to provide a better life.
