Our Story
About Heather
Under One Sky Animal Rescue (UOSAR) was founded by respected tattoo artist, business owner and animal lover Heather Sinn.
"When I look up at all the vast space and countless stars it makes me realize how we are all living under one sky... Animals and humans existing together, and how this planet belongs to all of us equally!" -Heather Sinn
After seeing a video about Cat House on The Kings (an amazing one-of-a-kind no kill rescue in Parlier, California), Heather has made it her life's work to build a similar sanctuary in Los Angeles, where animals can roam outdoors safely without fear of harm.
Under One Sky
Unlike traditional shelters where residents are often caged for the remainder of their lives (which in the case of "kill shelters" can be as little as three days), UOSAR will utilize open land to allow all our rescue animals to roam freely, thriving in their natural habitat. Access to sunlight, fresh air, plenty of room to exercise as well as a high quality nutrition are at the core of our mission.
Clean, amply spaced shelters will be provided for the animals' protection, to be used at their own discretion. Moreover, extensive fencing will be utilized to prevent predators from entering the property, separate different species from one another, as well as quarantine sick and injured animals from the general population. Trained UOSAR staff and volunteers will socialize and play with all the animals we rescue.
Under One Sky Animal Rescue will abide only by the highest standards of medical care for its residents. Our on-site Medical Unit will allow for the treatment of smaller injuries and illnesses by an on call veterinarian. More complex procedures will be undertaken at a local veterinary hospital partner.
Regardless of the animals condition, no one will be turned away. Ultimately our goal is to rehabilitate the animals in our care and place them in forever loving homes. If no adopter is found, the animal will remain in our care and live out its natural life without fear of abuse, neglect or predators.
How Can I Help?
We have found a large property (~2 acres) in the Greater LA Area that will accommodate the rescue's need for fencing and space. We also have volunteers in place to help build the structures on the property as well as put up fencing (thereby mitigating labor expenses), but your donations are still core to breaking ground on this project.
The cost of the property is ~$700,000. The estimated amount needed to make the down payment as well as add fencing and structures is $450,000. This figure is based on initial lender estimates and quote averages obtained by local contractors with a successful track record working on similar projects. Heather is also putting every penny of her personal savings into this project, which is factored into the above.
Upon the success of this rescue, we hope to establish sister rescues to UOSAR all over the USA!
