Over 4 million animals are put down in California every year.

Our goal is to change that.

At 2 The Rescue Animal Sanctuary, we save, rehabilitate, and re-home animals at risk of euthanasia or slaughter. Our mission is to provide every animal with a safe, loving environment until they find a forever home.

About

Our Mission

Every year, four million animals face euthanasia in California alone. At 2 The Rescue Animal Sanctuary, our mission is to reduce this heartbreaking number. We are dedicated to offering a safe haven for animals destined for unnecessary euthanasia, providing them with the opportunity to thrive while we search for their forever homes.

Our sanctuary is a place where animals find comfort, love, and the care they deserve. We ensure each animal enjoys a clean and safe environment, proper nutrition, and essential health services. Our primary goal is the well-being of every animal we rescue and to save as many lives as possible.

A Message From Our Founder

My passion for animals has been a lifelong journey. Growing up in South Africa, I was constantly surrounded by a variety of animals. Our home was known for being a refuge, often filled with shoeboxes housing recovering creatures.

It is beyond my comprehension how anyone can discard a pet or choose to euthanize an animal due to lack of space. Many rescues face difficult decisions due to limited resources, often resulting in the destruction of animals they cannot accommodate or rehome.

At 2 The Rescue Animal Sanctuary, our mission is clear: to rescue, rehabilitate when needed, and rehome animals at risk of euthanasia due to overcrowded shelters or those sold at slaughter auctions. We are committed to never refusing or denying any animal a safe and loving environment until we can find them a permanent home.

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of countless animals.

Warm regards,

Ilana Friedman

Founder, 2 The Rescue Animal Sanctuary
