Established in 1992 in Santa Cruz California, the Center for Animal Protection and Education (CAPE) is a non profit 501(c) 3 organization. CAPE provides sanctuary for injured, disabled and special needs animals, foster care and adoptions for homeless dogs, humane education programs for children and adults, advocacy campaigns addressing current animal issues, and information for people who have questions or problems concerning animals.
CAPE’s animal sanctuary situated in the Sierra Foothills in Grass Valley, California, is a haven for animals with no other options of a safe place to go. Specializing in animals with disabilities, injuries or treatable medical conditions, the sanctuary can provide safety, comfort and rehabilitation to a variety of species.
CAPE's aim is to bring people and animals together in peaceful co-existence.
Please enjoy viewing a collection of some of the animals rescued, fostered and adopted through the years.
