The Kerulos Animal Recovery and Education Sanctuary (KARES) is located in the Siskiyou mountains of southern Oregon. Over the past decade, KARES has served as refuge for wildlife and homeless animals. Now, as the first sanctuary built on principles and ethics of human trauma recovery, we offer hospice and sanctuary to animals surviving psychological experiments, behavioral studies, and other severe trauma.
Science routinely uses animals in pursuit of human knowledge and meaning. Millions of animals succumb to the emotional and physical injuries in experiments or are euthanized when no longer valued. KARES values them and opens its doors to offer hospice in a place of peace and beauty.
KARES embodies our commitment to “Science in Service to Animals”. We bring the best of human knowledge to care for animal hearts and minds. By providing dignity and care for these injured souls, we recover our own humanity and transform science into an art of compassion.
Sanctuary is more than refuge. Sanctuaries are the seeds of cultural change where animal values, language, and custom can be integrated into human culture.
Our Sanctuary Motto
Our sanctuary motto, Je t’attendrai (“I will wait for you”) conveys our commitment to our animal kin: they will never be forgotten, and there is always someone who waits for them.
Your Support Counts
Help us bring these individuals to sanctuary and make this vision and healing center possible.
