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!

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.

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, How tasty are thy branches!
When holidays rolls around, don’t forget about the animals! A great way to recycle your Christmas tree and Halloween pumpkins is to bring them to the sanctuary for our residents. Drop off your tree or pumpkins (minus the decorations!) and give the animals a little holiday treat! They will be moooved by your gift and surely make pigs of themselves!
