ARE Animal Rescue

Get to know them.

ARE Animal Rescue combines its main rescue operations with adoption catteries in pet stores, including Pacific Beach and Oceanside. For San Diego visitors, those satellite locations are the relevant starting point: they put adoptable cats in the community without requiring a trip to the rescue’s main facilities in Hemet.

Volunteering can mean cattery care, adoption-event support or transport, with remote administration and social media also listed. New volunteers apply and complete onboarding before taking shifts; the team matches people to locations and responsibilities. Be specific about where you can travel, and confirm adoption-counselor availability if your goal is to meet a cat rather than simply visit the store.
