Central Valley Rescue Railroad

Central Valley Rescue Railroad is an all-volunteer rescue located in the CA Central Valley.
We are motivated by compassion, powered by volunteers and funded by donations.
We rescue dogs (and an occasional cat) from local shelters, backyard breeders and owners who can no longer care for their pets. Once in our program every animal is guaranteed a loving home.
All dogs/cats posted are available for adoption. Adoptions require a completed application, an interview with an adoption counselor and sometimes a home visit is scheduled. All animals of appropriate age are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. If we are unable to do so due to age, we will require an additional deposit and we will schedule the surgery within a reasonable time frame. Our adoption fees include age appropriate vaccines, sterilization and micro-chipping. Our dogs can be seen at Petsmart in Visalia of the Depot in Lindsay on alternating Saturdays from 10am to 2pm. All dogs can be seen by appointment.

Valley Animal Haven
#100 in United States, #26 in California, #1 in Visalia
On March 20, 2014, Valley Animal Haven and Adoption Center was founded to serve the helpless and homeless animals across the Central Valley of California. Valley Animal Haven is a dream come true for it's founder, Pamela Brasil. This dream was born after witnessing a report of an arsonist, who hated dogs, destroy an Animal Rescue Facility in the mid-West. A total of eighty loving dogs were heartlessly murdered in the fire. Since then, Pamela was determined to open a safe haven for animals, big or small, young or old. A place where the lives of homeless and helpless animals will be loved and cherished until they can find a PAWsitive New Beginning with a new furever family.
Our Story
From a small backyard operation in 2014, Valley Animal Haven has experienced significant growth and expansion since the opening our doors. Through the generosity of our community, Valley Animal Haven currently utilizes a 2.5-acre parcel to house dogs, cats and the occasional rabbit, turtle or guinea pig. Our facility also includes two portable buildings, which have been renovated to be our Infirmary Ward.
Our Vision
Since its founding in 2014, Valley Animal Haven's vision is to provide world-class animal welfare services. Our goal has been to ensure that each animal companion finds a loving family to call a forever home. From fostering and adoption programs, to innovative shelter programs to improve visibility and access to animals across the community, Valley Animal Haven truly aims to become the organization of choice to facilitate lasting relationships with animals and the community at large
