While we vegans all wish there wasn’t a need for animal sanctuaries, we are truly grateful for the compassionate work being done by so many people around the world to help animals in need. The animal sanctuaries, rescue centers, and shelters shown on this page are sorted based on reviews from your fellow vegans worldwide, and many are well worth your support. If you’re able to, consider visiting one or more of these animal care facilities, whether they are near home for you or if you happen upon one while you are traveling abroad.
Our goal is to provide a platform that truly respects and mirrors our collective vegan opinions and perspectives. As our global vegan community adds additional animal sanctuaries and care facilities, and as we review and rate our favorites, the resulting listings will continuously, and more accurately, reflect our favorite animal sanctuaries.

Formed in 1984 by a group of environmentally concerned citizens who cared about the successful rehabilitation of injured, sick and orphaned wildlife, Wildlife Haven Rehabilitation Centre was first known by the name Manitoba Wildlife Rehabilitation Organization (MWRO). The volunteers started the organization out of their backyards and opened a centre in 1993 in Glenlea, Manitoba. The centre currently operates in Île des Chênes, Manitoba – only 8 minutes from Winnipeg.
For over 31 years, Wildlife Haven Rehabilitation Centre has been rehabilitating injured, sick and orphaned wildlife from all over Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario. The Wildlife Haven Rehabilitation Centre is a volunteer-driven, registered charity dedicated to the rehabilitation of injured, sick and orphaned wildlife for their return back to the wild, providing education services to the community and engaging volunteers in a rewarding experience. Since 1984, over 35,000 injured and orphaned wildlife have been cared for. Wildlife Haven Rehabilitation Centre relies on the generous support of volunteers and donations to operate.
