Renton Residents

After many years at the beautiful location in Sammamish, Washington, we needed more space for our growing family of rescues. So in June 2022, we found a place that will provide more room to roam and the rescues at Sammamish Animal Sanctuary become official Renton residents! We are delighted to be part of the Renton community and join our neighbors in May Valley! Thank you to the entire community for welcoming our rescues and making us feel at home!

As in Sammamish, we are open to the public so come visit our animals and see our new space!

Kelly Hanson meets Magoo (and all the others!)

“Live with Kelly Hanson” visited the sanctuary today for a day of fun meeting goats, cows, pigs, horses and the more than 60 residents that call the sanctuary home. Frilly was clearly impressed with Kelly’s back scratching skills and Magoo apparently felt he was ready for a close up! ;) Check out the segment on King5 Evening News. Thanks for visiting, Kelly!

Read about the adventures this family had on a recent visit to the Sanctuary, from meeting Willy, the only pig with his own bed (you’ll have to see it to believe it!) to playing in our Ranger’s Lookout recreation area for kids (and maybe adults, depending on how silly you feel!). Thank you Parent Map for your support!

Winter in Seattle can be unpredictable at times. But our animals can’t wait for the weather to improve to get fed. Good thing the volunteers at the Sammamish Animal Sanctuary are weather warriors! Thank you to all who braved the elements to make sure our residents were well cared for! Watch the video for cameos by Willy the pig and other residents.
