Welcome!

Hayflakes is a 501(c)3 non-profit animal sanctuary in central California dedicated to long term rehabilitation. At Hayflakes we take a special interest in animals that have been so affected by cruelty and neglect they simply cannot withstand the fast paced adoption programs of normal rescues. Lack of funding, proper facilities and qualified foster homes make it impossible for most rescues to handle these special needs animals. Using patience and alternative training methods, Hayflakes works with veterinarians, trainers and other professionals to slowly rehabilitate animals that have been physically and emotionally traumatized.


Over the last three years Hayflakes has evolved into a haven for over fifty animals including dogs, cats, horses and exotic birds. Hayflakes Sanctuary grew out of a desire to give an opportunity to dogs with fear aggression, separation anxiety and other behavioral issues a chance to heal. Too often, we saw victims of neglect or abuse euthanized because they needed more time, training and rehabilitation. When given time in a structured and loving environment most fearful animals learn that humans can be friends. These animals often form an intense bond with their people. They seem to understand on some level how lucky they are to be in a loving home at last.
