About Baja Animal Sanctuary:

The Baja Animal Sanctuary is located in Rosarito, Mexico, just 23 miles south of the San Ysidro border. The sanctuary was founded in 1997 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 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 and cats rescued from the streets of Rosarito and surrounding areas. Once at BAS, they receive food, medical care, and love for as long as they are there. Once the puppies are old enough, or the sick ones are well enough, they are spayed/neutered and vaccinated. The ultimate goal is to find each and every adoptable animal at BAS a forever home. When this can't be accomplished, since it is 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. In 2012 BAS placed 276 dogs and 42 cats in loving homes throughout the United States. Presently, the Sanctuary is home to over 400 dogs and cats combined. 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 receives no assistance from the Mexican government.
