Our Featured Pets...

Brulee the guinea pig and PJ the black Lab

Brulee was born on March 10, his mother is Princess Peaches (who has already been adopted). He would like to have a buddy, but that buddy would have to be male. PJ is a sweet, wonderful dog with a heart of gold who has had a rough life thus far. He needs a little tender loving care. Can you give it to him?

News

We currently have dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils and chinchillas looking for homes.

Donations

We could not do what we do without you. That's the ongoing reality of running an animal sanctuary and rescue organization - we need your help to survive. Vision Hills' average cost to feed and provide care to our rescued animals is approximately $20,000 - $25,000 annually. Every month we use over 400 pounds of dry dog food, 150 pounds of rabbit food, 50 pounds of guinea pig food and 150 pounds of hay. We use over 100 pounds of litter each week! Plus, we go through a lot of Heartgard and Frontline for the dogs every month.

Other expenses include:

Medical care
Vaccinations
Spay/neuter expenses

Vision Hills is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Your donation to Vision Hills is tax deductible.
