Wild Horizon Rescue & Sanctuary

Wild Horizon Rescue & Sanctuary Wild Horizon Rescue & Sanctuary is based on a 20-acre ranch near the Angeles National Forest.

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 For

est, 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.

Meet Romeo 🤍

At 14 years old, Romeo’s needs are simple and few. He’d love a quiet home, a comfy lap, and people to love! He was taken in on a temporary basis by a dear friend of ours, but it’s time for this cutie to find his forever home and our friend has asked for help.

This handsome senior boy is believed to be a possible Maine C**n mix, and while he may be a little spicy at times, he’s also incredibly affectionate and deeply people-oriented. His favorite place is right next to his humans.

Romeo has CKD (chronic kidney disease), but it’s currently well-managed with special food, occasional fluids, and routine care. 👉 The good news? His food and medical needs will be *covered for the rest of his life*. Whomever opens their home to him won’t be doing this alone. His current family has come to love him and would really like to remain part of his life as they’re graciously providing ongoing support every step of the way.

He’d do best in a calm home without young children, ideally with someone who works from home or spends a lot of time there. Romeo would likely thrive as the king of the castle in a home without other cats. He may be okay with dogs depending on the situation.

He comes with all the supplies he could ever need. What he’s really missing is someone willing to give a senior cat a soft place to land and the love he deserves.

Currently located in Malibu.

Please DM us if you think you might be the right fit for Romeo. Senior animals deserve happy endings too. 🐾

We’re so excited to update you all about Brooklyn because she’s really coming into her own and it’s the best thing to watch!

This girl is a two-time shelter survivor and somehow still the sweetest, squishiest, most lovable little meatball. She’s now in her Northern California foster home and being absolutely spoiled (as she should be), and her personality is finally popping.

Current favorite activity? Sunbathing. Fully committed. If there’s a patch of sunlight, Brooklyn will find it and park herself there like it’s her full-time job.

Her foster is also getting her out on neighborhood walks so she can slim down a bit and feel her best, and she’s loving the routine, the attention, all of it.

She’s happy, she’s safe, and she’s ready for someone to call her their own.

If you’ve been even thinking about adopting, this might be your girl. Message us to meet Brooklyn.

Our good boy loves poking about, eating and snoozing ☺️ The good news is Grampaws seems to have more energy and stability now that he’s at our ranch. He’s very curious, but wasn’t quite sure what to make of the goats 🐐

We recently had him to the vet, and unfortunately, it wasn’t news we hoped for.

His blood and f***l tests revealed he has Giardia along with another infection, and he’s in the beginning stages of kidney failure.

The vet suspects Grampaws is well older than 10yrs and could’ve been hit by a car at some point. It would certainly explain most of his physical ailments.

Grampaws has muscle atrophy in his back end which is causing the lameness in his hind legs. But, the vet says it’s a spinal issue that will continue to progress.

The head tilt and walking in circles could be several things like brain damage from being hit by a car, senior dog dementia or vestibular disease. However, given his age, it’s not fair to put him through a battery of tests that aren’t going to change the outcome—especially when he’s incredibly stressed at the vet and tries to nip when he’s touched by strangers.

The vet thinks he may only have a few months left, so no matter what, we’re going to give him all the love, comfort and support he deserves.

We created an Amazon Wish List if you’d like to support him with a purchase. We truly appreciate any financial donations, as well. It all goes to towards the dogs currently in our care and towards helping future dogs. The wish list link is in the comments and donation links are in our profile.

Thank you!! 🙌❤️🐾

🙌Please share🙌

Brooklyn is headed to her foster home in Northern California and we’d love to send her off with everything she needs to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for from day one.

We’ve put together an Amazon wishlist with the essentials to help her settle in, and every item makes a difference in giving her a fresh start.

If you’ve been looking for a simple way to help, this is it 🤍

🆘💔 HE MADE IT OUT OF BALDWIN PARK… BUT HE’S NOT OUT OF THE WOODS 💔🆘

10yr old Grampaws is safe. He is no longer waiting on a cold shelter floor to be forgotten.

But the reality of what he’s been through is hard to see.

He entered the shelter as a stray, and arrived to us in horrific condition. His coat is severely matted and crunchy to the touch. He reeks of urine. His back legs are caked in f***s.

This is not neglect from a few days.

This is what happens when a dog is left without care for far too long.

On April 1, he was started on a 10-day course of antibiotics for nasal discharge… but he was released to us with no medication provided, and still has the nasal discharge.

So now, everything falls on us to figure out quickly: what he needs, what he’s facing, and how to stabilize him.

We already know he has:
• A significant heart murmur
• Weak back legs
• Muscle loss
• Signs of systemic illness
• Possible neurological issues

We don’t know how much time he has left. But we do know this: He will not spend whatever time he has suffering and unseen.

Right now, he urgently needs:
• A full veterinary exam
• Bloodwork and diagnostics
• Grooming and medical cleaning
• Ongoing medication and supportive care

And for a senior dog in this condition… the costs will be high.

🙏 We need your help.

If Grampaws’ story hits you in the gut, that’s because it should.
No dog should end up like this at the end of their life.

Please consider donating to help us give him:
✨ Relief from pain
✨ Cleanliness and comfort
✨ A chance to feel safe and cared for

If you can’t donate, sharing his story is just as important.

He made it out. Now we fight for what comes next.

💛 Donate. Share. Stand with Grampaws.

If you’re like us, you’ll agree this can’t be how Grampaws’s story ends, but we need your support. We’re asking for your pledges of at least $2,000 to help us help him. Vet bills for senior dogs are far greater than for healthy, young dogs. (Molly’s bill was nearly 3k) While there’s a lot going on with him health-wise that no vet can fix, we always want to get the clearest picture possible.

We don’t know how much time Grampaws has left, but we’ll make sure he’s loved and thoroughly spoiled. Many thanks to everyone who is advocating for this sweet boy.

Reposted • 🆘💔🆘 SECOND & FINAL PLEA FOR GRAMPAWS‼️ PAST DEADLINE‼️ HE CAN BE EUTHANIZED AT ANY MOMENT‼️ 😭

10 YO, 46 lb Grampaws ( ) has run out of time. His 72-hour notice has already passed, and heartbreakingly not a single person has come for him. 💔

No interest.
No adoption inquiries.
No rescue commitment.
No one. 😭

This gentle senior, who once had a life outside these walls, is now waiting alone, confused, weak, and forgotten.

His body is failing him, a serious heart murmur, weakening back legs, muscle loss, and signs of illness, yet he is still holding on, quietly hoping someone will notice him before it’s too late.💔

I saw him, and I will never forget the look in his eyes.
Lost. Tired. Heartbroken.
Like he knows he’s been left behind.😢

THIS CANNOT BE HOW HIS STORY ENDS! After 10 years of life, after everything he’s been through,
he should not take his last breath alone on a cold shelter floor.💔

He deserves:
✨ A quiet home
✨ A soft bed
✨ Gentle love in his final days

Not fear. Not noise. Not a needle.

That happy tail wag is everything! Brooklyn (aka Hyacinth) is free! We started emailing at 7:30 this morning begging for a chance to save her. After some back and forth, we finally got the green light and raced over to the Palmdale shelter to spring her 😍
This is the second time Brooklyn has escaped the shelter and we’ve promised her she will never know the inside of a shelter ever again! She was adopted, then returned back in 2022, adopted, then surrendered again.
We had an open space thanks to a recent adoption, but we’d love to get her into a foster or forever home.
She’s energetic, yet chill, and just as sweet as can be!
DM us if you’d love to love on this 70lb chonk ‘o love!!
🙌 Thank you to everyone who advocated for her two years ago and now, and everyone who pledged a donation. We truly appreciate your kindness and generosity! Our donation information can be found in our bio ❤️🐾

They’ve had each other through everything, and now they’re ready to have you. 🐾

Meet Sam & Dean, two ridiculously adorable bonded Chiweenie brothers with big eyes full of wonder and even bigger hearts. They came from a tough hoarding situation, but these scrappy little guys never lost their curiosity, their spark, or their love for each other.

Sam (brown) is your tiny, fearless explorer. He bounces into every room like he owns it, nose twitching, tail flying, ready to investigate every corner and charm every person he meets. He will find your lap, he will find your heart, and he will absolutely not apologize for it.

Dean is a little more thoughtful about the world, taking it all in with those soulful eyes before deciding you are, in fact, worthy of his affection. And when he does? He melts right into you.

Together they are the perfect pair of pint-sized adventurers who are equally happy tumbling around discovering new smells and sights as they are curled up in a warm lap at the end of the day.

✔️ Great with dogs of all sizes
✔️ Neutered
✔️ Crate trained
✔️ Potty trained
✔️ Up to date on vaccines
✔️ Down for adventures OR couch days

These boys don’t just need a home. They need a home together.

Don’t let someone else be their person. Email us to schedule your meet and greet with Sam & Dean today. These two have waited long enough for their forever home. 🐶❤️🐶

It’s a good day here at Wild Horizon Rescue & Sanctuary!! Miss Willow is officially adopted!!! 🥳🎉🐾☺️😍

Some things are just meant to be! Willow was an owner surrender at the Palmdale shelter a few weeks ago. Our volunteer had just finalized the paperwork when Willow’s now new mom walked into the shelter, hoping to meet Willow and adopt her.

It was pretty clear right away this was a perfect match. After completing our due diligence of rigorous checks and interviews, and getting Willow to the vet for some skin issues, the deal was sealed this morning.

Willow is soon headed up to NorCal to her forever home with her new mom, dad and doggy brother. She’s such a love bug, we’re really going to miss her so much.

That’s what rescue is all about though. It’s always bittersweet to say goodbye, yet with every pup that goes to a loving home, we’re able to save one more! (Head to our stories to see a video of how sweet this girl is!)

We’re currently working on our new website and getting our available pups posted there, on all the adoption platforms and here on social. If you’re looking to foster or adopt, send us a message! We’re also looking for volunteers to help with posting our dogs and setting up adoption events!!

We were able to help with Bad Bunny, purely because a committed foster came forward, and because the networkers for this shelter are excellent at communication and support.

Everyone is full, we are full. But fostering saves lives!!!

Please foster/ transport/ share/ donate, just a Starbucks? It all helps - but rescues absolutely need the support of fosters and adopters.

So please - consider it. Talk to friends and family. 🙏👍

I know I’m singing to the choir here! Everyone following is already supporting. How do we widen the net?

Bad Bunny went immediately to neuter, and is now resting up with his foster. We will update more tomorrow.

Thanks to all who helped make this happen 🙌🐾
