Vicki's Village Animal Rescue and Sanctuary

Vicki’s Village Animal Rescue & Sanctuary (V.V.A.R.S) is a grassroots group located outside of Bishop, California in the Eastern Sierras. We are a 501c3 non-profit organization who focuses on rescue and rehabilitating senior and special needs animals. Vicki’s Village works mainly with dogs at this point in time, but are not limited to canines only. Most of our animals come from high-kill shelters across California, hoarding situations or owner surrenders. Vicki’s Village is responsible for our animals transportation and all of the medical care they should need, on top of their daily needs. This organization is financed by donations only – we do not have support of federal or private grants at this point in time. V.V.A.R.S. is in place so that every animal in our care lives their healthiest, happiest and best life. We thank everyone who supports us in our mission to save as many animals as possible!
