Our Sanctuary hit by Hurricane Helene 

Ayla's Acres Sanctuary in Greenville, FL was in the direct path of Hurricane Helene the night of September 26. All of the animals and their caretakers are thankfully okay. But due to the 100 mph winds we did sustain a lot of damage to the building and structures on the property. To learn more, visit our Sanctuary page or click here.

 



 

Ayla's Acres Thriftique 

Our Thriftique store is one of the primary ways we raise money to care for the animals at our sanctuary and all of the foster animals in our care.
We have fresh inventory every week! Furniture, clothing, kitchen items, household items, artwork, pet stuff, and more.  
The store, located at 411 Anastasia Blvd, St. Augustine, FL 32080, is open Monday thru Saturday 10am to 5pm and Sundays Noon-5pm.

WE'RE HIRING! We have several volunteer opportunities in our new thrift store location at 413 Anastasia Blvd. We're looking for help in three areas of our store: assisting guests, cashier, and warehouse help. The warehouse, located within our store, is a great area to get involved while maintaining social distance.

AYLA'S ACRES ANIMAL RESOURCE CENTER ONE STEP CLOSER TO REALITY
Big news! Ayla's Acres Animal Resource Center (formerly Peter's Friends) will break ground, soon. St. Johns County approved a special use permit for the adoption center and veterinary clinic. We are waiting for the final permits and then we can start to build! The engineering is completed, site plans are ready, soil samples have been gathered, and the archaeological investigation is done.
Our new Animal Resource Center will provide a warm, non-institutional, clean, safe, loving environment for adoptable dogs and cats until they find their forever homes. This includes shelter, food, and interaction between people and the animals. It will also provide an onsite veterinary clinic with no- or low-cost spay/neuter and vaccination programs. Read more about our new shelter including it's location, visit our Animal Resource Center page.

We rely on the kindness of our community - Get involved today!
