Where every animal finds home
Stella Rescue & Sanctuary Foundation is a volunteer-run rescue devoted to giving abandoned, abused, and at-risk animals the loving forever homes they deserve.
Every animal has a story, and it doesn't end where it began.
Many of the animals who come to us have had a hard start. We meet them where they are, give them the care and patience they need to heal, and never stop believing in the loving companions they're meant to become.
We're powered entirely by volunteers and foster families. That means every animal is cared for in a real home, not a kennel, until the right family comes along.
Rescue · Heal · Love · Rehome
Four promises we make to every animal who comes through our doors.
Rescue
We take in animals who are abandoned, surrendered, or at risk, no matter their past.
Heal
Vet care, vaccinations, spay/neuter, and the time they need to feel safe again.
Love
Foster homes and patient volunteers help each animal learn to trust people again.
Rehome
We thoughtfully match every animal with the family who's right for them.
"We don't dwell on where an animal has been. We focus on where they're going: into a home where they're safe, wanted, and loved for the rest of their life."
Give an animal a loving home
Adopt, foster, or just say hello. There's a place for you in this work.
