Little about us ❤️
We are a nonprofit shelter for deer and animals needing safe placement. We do not get government funding, we are almost completely reliant on our personal incomes to fund the rescue and public donations (with no paid employees). We are a two person rescue with some volunteers. We have been running since 2019.

Most people are aware of animal shelters for cats and dogs, but there is a need for shelters to care for many different types of animals. Deer in particular are in a dire need of shelter and sanctuary. Deer are illegal to own here in California but sadly that does not stop some from trafficking them into the state and into the illegal pet trade. Although these animals are beautiful and fascinating creatures, they take specialized care and pose a danger to the wild deer population. Without the proper care these majestic animals will fall ill and spread disease to wildlife. For this reason, California Fish and Wildlife confiscates deer who are illegally kept. Shelters give them a second chance at life and a place to call home. The alternative is euthanasia. In all of California there are only 2 shelters we know of who are permitted. We believe we are the only shelter at this time who has room for new intakes

We've been working everyday with the deer to get them used to us and people and they are doing fabulous! It really helps when they are very food motivated! 🤣 all will now come up for treats and most will allow us to pet them! Big steps!
