Animal Compassion Team of California (ACT)
Animal Compassion Team - ACT, is an all volunteer run, non-profit no kill animal rescue, dedicated to helping the animals in Central California.
Our Mission Statement:
To provide a safe haven for domestic animals, regardless of breed or species, through rescue, rehabilitation, adoption and sanctuary. To advocate for the humane treatment of animals and promote the human-animal bond. To educate the public about the importance of kindness, compassion, and responsible pet ownership which will emphasize spaying and neutering. To cooperate and work with other animal rescues and shelters towards the goal of becoming a no-kill nation.
The vision for ACT has been brewing in the minds of the Animal Compassion Team founders for many years. The paths we have walked have prepared us and tested our determination through hard work, buckets of tears, mountains of fecal matter (a favorite topic of discussion amongst animal rescuers), and more then our fair share of discouragement and heartbreak. Having said that, why would we choose to dive in deeper? For the love of the animals we serve. It is just that simple. Dogs, cats, and other wonderful animals are dying in huge numbers daily. We hope to help change that. We moved beyond the discussion phase and filed the paperwork necessary to become a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation with the state of California and the Federal Government. It is a huge leap of faith for all of us who already feel overwhelmed by the work we are doing but we believe this is the time....this is what we have all been preparing for. One life saved makes all the effort and emotional investment worthwhile. This is going to be an exciting journey and we hope to post MANY happy endings on this blog. The animals are already arriving......stay tuned .....we have only just begun!

Hey there! It’s me Honey Bear! My foster mom says I’m just as sweet as honey and so very loving and cuddly. I’m a pretty amazing and well behaved 3 month old pup. I’m crate trained, seem to be house trained, good in the car, good off leash, large and small dog friendly, cat friendly, and am very quiet! I even know how to sit and am super treat motivated! My foster mom isn’t 100% sure what I am as I am a medium sized girl who is about 18 pounds right now. I will be about 50 pounds when full grown. She’s guessing me to be a Terrier and Shepherd mix! Whatever I am I sure am cute with goofy ears! I love to play with humans and other dogs and get the zoomies. I’m sure to be the perfect addition to anyone’s family. If that family is you please complete an online adoption application for me or contact my foster mom at (559)267-3607!
