A Haven For Abused Pit Bulls

Tax deductible
Founded by vegan activist Sky Valencia, the Saint Martin's Animal Foundation has been passionate about Pitbulls since 1999. Our nonprofit rescue has worked tirelessly to train and place these precious dogs who are so misunderstood and so severely abused into loving homes. Today we are asking for your support to help launch our biggest project yet in Cedar City Utah.


It is good to see my mother enjoying her life again. We lived for 11 years on a rescue ranch in Acton CA. When our shelter became riddled with wildfires, it became such a hazard to the animals we were forced to move and put all of our dogs and cats into boarding.

Since March of 2016, we've paid over $90,000 in boarding fees... but we fought to keep our rescued animals from winding up euthanized.

Even if my mother and I had to compromise our way of life, we dealt with it. It showed me that I could withstand anything. I even continued to do rescue, children's humane outreach, and TV projects out of a tiny trailer.

A lot of chanting and praying has brought us to the most wonderful 18-acre ranch in Utah!

The people who work with the animals here are heaven sent. They are the sweetest and most nurturing people I know.

Like family, they took in all our homeless pit bulls as well as other hard to place dogs and trained them to all get along. I still can't even believe my eyes when I see dogs labeled extremely dog aggressive all lying together in the living room in peace and harmony.

This GoFundMe campaign is to raise donations for insulation, heating systems, safety fencing, a warmer barn for the horses and mini dog park. Utah gets very cold in the winter and we want to keep everyone cozy and safe.

Have a wonderful week. I will send you updates soon and photos of the happy animals Hugs! Thank you for your support.
