We save dogs at LA shelters, and our sanctuary cares for dogs, horses and farm animals who need a safe place for life at Wild Horizon Farm. Wild Horizon Rescue & Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue organization founded by Thea Creasy rooted in compassion, responsibility, and second chances. Operating from a 20-acre working ranch and equine facility on the edge of Angeles National Forest, our rescue focuses first and foremost on saving dogs from high-risk situations in Los Angeles County and Los Angeles City shelters. We step in where the need is greatest—pulling dogs who are at risk due to overcrowding, medical needs, behavioral shutdown, or lack of resources. Many of the dogs who come to us have experienced stress, instability, or trauma. Our priority is to remove them from the shelter environment and give them the time, space, and structure they need to decompress. Once in our care, each dog enters a thoughtful rehabilitation process. This includes medical evaluation and treatment, behavioral observation, and daily routines that support emotional regulation and trust-building. We believe that successful adoption starts long before a dog meets a potential family. By allowing dogs to settle into a calm, rural environment, we are able to better understand who they are, what they need, and what type of home will allow them to thrive. Only after this process are dogs made available for adoption, with transparency and care taken to ensure the best possible match. Alongside our rescue work, Wild Horizon Sanctuary provides long-term and lifelong care for dogs and farm animals who are not adoptable due to age, medical conditions, or special needs. The sanctuary is an extension of our values, ensuring that every animal, regardless of outcome, is treated with dignity, safety, and respect. From dogs to horses and other rescued animals, sanctuary residents are given consistent care and the ability to live out their lives in peace. Wild Horizon Rescue & Sanctuary exists because the need is real and growing. We are committed to doing this work responsibly, sustainably, and with the animals’ best interests always at the center. Through rescue, rehabilitation, adoption, and sanctuary care, we aim to make a meaningful and lasting impact, one life at a time.
