The Baja Animal Sanctuary Mission:

To provide a safe haven for the abused, abandoned and needy animals who enter our gates, to eliminate their suffering, to improve their quality of life, to reduce pet overpopulation by spaying and neutering, and to find them permanent, safe, loving homes.

The Baja Animal Sanctuary is located in Rosarito, Mexico, just 22 miles south of the San Ysidro border. The sanctuary was founded by Sunny Benedict a native New Yorker, who was working in Real Estate in Rosarito. From her office window, Sunny would see the local animals, mangy and starving roaming the streets in search of anyone who might toss them a morsel of food, or give them a kind pat on the head. She knew she had to do something. With a mere $180.00 she gathered from friends, she turned her dream into reality and started the Baja Animal Sanctuary.

BAS, the only no-kill shelter in northern Mexico, provides a safe haven for dogs, cats, and presently, one beautiful horse. Rescued from the streets of Mexico, they now receive food, medical care, and love for the rest of their lives. Once the puppies are old enough, or the sick ones are well enough they are spayed/neutered. Our ultimate goal is to find each and every one of them a forever home. When this can’t be accomplished, since we are a no-kill shelter, the animals that are “un-adoptable” will make BAS their permanent home. In some extreme cases, untreatable dogs and cats are euthanized to put an end to their pain and/or suffering.

The Baja Animal Sanctuary was officially incorporated in the year 2000. BAS is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3), not-for profit corporation, qualified to receive tax-deductible donations. The sanctuary receives NO assistance from the Mexican government. Our survival depends entirely upon contributions from concerned animal lovers.
