Ayla's Acres No-Kill Animal Rescue, Inc – Providing Love, Security, and Dignity to North Florida's Homeless and Neglected Animals

About Us

Ayla’s Acres No-Kill Animal Rescue, Inc., is a St. Augustine-based 501(c)(3) supporting adoption, spay and neuter, and responsible care of animals. Along with education, outreach, adoption, and fostering programs, Ayla’s Acres maintains a 45-acre sanctuary where “unadoptable” animals may live out their lives with peace, love, and dignity. We have launched a $2.6 million capital campaign to raise funds to build Peter’s Friends Animal Resource Center in St. Johns County. Ayla’s Acres receives no government funding, relying instead on private donations of money, supplies, and items that are sold through Ayla’s Acres Thrift Shop, located in downtown St. Augustine, at 142 King Street. Our annual gala, community support, grants, and annual holiday fundraising provides funds for our cause.
