Animal Security and Veteran Services
Living Free Animal Sanctuary
Founded in 1980 and nestled high in the San Jacinto Mountains, above Palm Springs and Palm Desert, Living Free is a 154 acre, nonprofit animal sanctuary that saves dogs & cats whose time is up at public/municipal shelters. If one of their rescued animals cannot find a loving home, they are free to live out their lives at the sanctuary. In addition, their rescued mustangs and burros have been given a second chance to live out healthy lives on the wild mountain terrain.
Living Free is also building two new special initiatives: War Horse Creek: Equine-Assisted Reintegration Training For Veterans and Living Free’s Patriot Pets: Adoption Program for U.S. Veterans.

As refuge for animals in need and pet owners in crisis, they provide adoption opportunities, surrender and stray intake services, as well as microchipping and vaccine support, all by appointment. It is the only public shelter operating under a no-kill philosophy in the Coachella Valley.
