Fostering Animals
|
|
After and adoption event, any animals
that have not been adopted are generally placed in a loving foster
home until the next adoption event. This way the animals don’t
have to be driven back to Mexico, and then back up again for the next
event. Loving foster homes are needed for both dogs and cats. If you
have room in your house and in your heart to provide a temporary home
for one our our animals let us know!

Volunteering At The Sanctuary
|
Because the Baja Animal Sanctuary
resides in Mexico, volunteers must be able to drive to Rosarito Beach,
Mexico in order to volunteer. Extra help is always needed at the sanctuary!
Volunteers spend the day bathing animals, cleaning cages and corrals,
playing with the dogs and cats, and, if medically trained (Pre-Vet,
Vet Techs, etc) help is always needed to evaluate the animals, and
administer medications and vaccines, etc. Hotels are located close
by in town for volunteers who want to help out for more than one day.
