Animal Samaritans is a 501c3 nonprofit that believes in the healing power of animal-human connections and views all living creatures with compassion and respect, with a primary focus on dogs, cats, and the people who love them. 

Our no-kill shelter is a refuge for at-risk, adoptable dogs and cats. We house, feed & water, socialize, and provide medical care for these animals until we match them with their new humans and new forever homes.  Adopt one today!

We provide quality, affordable full-service standard veterinary care from our medical facilities in Indio and Thousand Palms.   We offer financial aid for qualifying low-income pet owners.

We provide state-accredited, grade-appropriate humane education to all our Desert schools, at no cost to students or schools. 

Our Animal Companion Therapy program utilizes the healing power of animal-human connection and provides free animal visits to residents of area nursing homes and assisted living facilities, special needs facilities, and area hospitals.

Please join our Tour de Palm Springs Team to help us continue our life-saving programs!
