Our offices and primary care facilities are located in Santa Rosa, California. Our service area includes the northern San Francisco Bay counties of Sonoma, Napa, Marin, Lake and Mendocino.

The Oasis Sanctuary is a Rescue and Retirement facility for exotic birds, predominantly CITES I and II endangered birds. We offer birds a stable and loving home for the duration of their natural lives. We do not sell or breed birds. We do not offer birds for adoption. Many of The Oasis birds come from other rehabilitation and/or adoption programs where qualified personnel determined it was not in the bird's best interest to be placed in private homes. Some of our birds have "special needs", are physically handicapped or challenged requiring unique living or feeding situations. Several have been bounced from home to home, often being physically and/or emotionally abused and have simply become too fearful of people to be companions any longer. A number of The Oasis birds are "retired" breeders, or other birds originally imported for production purposes, which, due to age, infirmity or temperament often would be facing euthanasia. Because many of our birds are not interested in or are incapable of human interaction, they are housed with the same or similar, compatible species in non-breeding pairs or small flocks in large outdoor flights.

Founded in 2016 our mission is to educate humans on canine body language and behavior. To rehabilitate canines that were born with learning disabilities or surrendered to local shelters for basic canine behaviors that have gone unchecked. Our motto: "Education through rehabilitation one relationship at a time."

We rescue and rehome dogs (primarily) from local hi-kill shelters. We focus on but are not limited to special needs animals (deaf, blind, otherwise disabled and seniors). We provide foster homes to start and provide whatever it takes (rehab, medical, training etc) to make sure the animal never ever goes back into the shelter system. We are available to our adopters for the life of the animal, should they need assistance.
