To serve the dogs and cats of the Antelope Valley by providing sanctuary for the unwanted and medical attention for the needy

The Antelope Valley Dog and Cat Rescue, Inc. mission is to provide a safe harbor for all our animals. To make them feel as loved and as safe as possible. To rehabilitate them through love, trust, devotion, and proper care so they may find a loving home where they can become a loving family member. Some of our animals will never be able to be placed in homes outside our rescue, due to the severe abuse. Our goal is to make them feel as safe, loved, and comfortable as possible, while they stay with us for the rest of their natural life.

Founded by Vilma Drever, the 2010 Antelope Valley Senior of the Year, this rescue is a safe haven for the dogs and cats Vilma saves from the surrounding desert.

Vilma and her volunteers have rescued abandoned, starving, injured and ill dogs and cats. We have provided them medical attention, food, and shelter. All want to be loved. We have found homes for some, some are still at our sanctuary, and others have been placed in temporary foster homes.

Join Vilma and her volunteers to make sure that each rescued animal has the food, shelter, medical attention, and love it so deserves.
