S.A.R.A.’s Treasures

A Better-Quality Thrift & Gift Shop Operated by:

Shelter Animal Resource Alliance

Thanks to your support we have rescued 960 dogs and 778 cats from being killed/euthanized at local animal control shelters.

We have also assisted other rescue groups by sponsoring the spay/neuter of 139 cats and 23 dogs for low income families, which we estimate will save the lives of at least 1390 shelter cats and 368 shelter dogs.

About Us

Mission: To Rescue, Assist, and Advocate for Shelter Animals.

View our full mission statement here.  

Founded in January 2001, the Shelter Animal Resource Alliance (S.A.R.A.) is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization based in the Eugene/Springfield area of western Oregon that is dedicated to removing animals from shelters where they might otherwise face euthanasia. While in our care, we provide these cats and dogs with a comfortable environment to live in, all necessary medical care, high-quality food and treats, and plenty of love and attention until we are able to find them their forever homes. 

Our main fundraiser for this life-saving work is our thrift store, S.A.R.A.'s Treasures, where we sell new and gently-used donated items, with all of the proceeds benefiting the rescued cats and dogs in our programs. You’ll find collectibles, jewelry, knick knacks, clothing, books, and so much more….but the real “treasures” are the cats and kittens you’ll find living in the store. It’s the perfect place for prospective adopters to meet and spend time with kitties who are ready for their forever homes.

Along with our thrift store items, at S.A.R.A.’s Treasures we also sell a variety of top quality retail cat and dog food and supplies including Wildside Salmon treats, Hot Cat and GoCat toys, Wyoming Sunmade Litter, and Drinkwell pet fountains.
