Community Involvement
We Rise By Lifting Others
At Sanctuary Vacation Rentals, we believe in giving back to the Carmel community in which we live and work. We are committed to giving back to those in need of housing, warmth, and food, including our four-legged friends. Giving back to the community builds hope and self-worth, teaches us compassion and acceptance and results in a better community for everybody.
At Sanctuary, we are supporting these local charities:
Animal Friends Rescue Project
From March 1 to December 31, Sanctuary Vacation Rentals will donate $5 per pet-friendly rental up to $5,000 to AFRP. Gracee is a 4 year-old shelter puppy that owners Annee and David adopted from AFRP after she was found wandering the streets of Salinas in pretty bad condition. She was given a tremendous amount of attention, love and care from her foster parent family and their five dogs, so much so that she has no fear of anyone or any dog and wags her tail at everyone she meets. Gracee has been proclaimed the Sanctuary ambassador of goodwill and joy because everyone she touches is left feeling better.

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals’ dog-loving owners donate $5,000 to Animal Friends Rescue Project

Committed to supporting those in need of housing, warmth and food — including beloved pets — Sanctuary Vacation Rentals presents a $5,000 check to Darla Smith, executive director of Animal Friends Rescue Project.
“We believe in giving back to the community,” says Sanctuary co-owner Annee Martin. “Giving back builds hope and self-worth, teaches us compassion and acceptance and results in a better community for everybody.”
Starting March 1 throughout 2020, Sanctuary Vacation Rentals donated $5 per pet-friendly rental up to $5,000 to AFRP.
The donation program was inspired by Gracee Blossom Joy, a 4-year-old shelter puppy, that owners Annee and David Martin adopted from AFRP after she was found wandering the streets of Salinas. She was given a tremendous amount of attention, love and care by her foster parent family and their five dogs, and now wags her tail at every human and dog she meets. Gracee has been proclaimed the Ambassador of Goodwill for Sanctuary Vacation Rentals because everyone she touches is left feeling better.
