A champagne toast at the Sale Ranch Animal Sanctuary Yearly Gala

One unforgettable night. A year of feed for 90+ rescued animals.

Join us for Where Grit Meets Glam, an elevated evening in Temecula Wine Country. Your $185 General Admission ticket includes a sparkling wine welcome, three-course, open-fire-inspired dinner by The Plot Restaurant, live music by Wayward Hope, and live entertainment from internationally recognized speed painter Amy Burkman.

Sale Ranch’s monthly feed costs average $7,000–$8,000. Our Gala goal is bold and necessary: raise $90,000 to help feed our rescued residents throughout 2027.

Because rescue does not end when an animal arrives. That is when sanctuary begins.

Meet Pickles

Pickles arrived at Sale Ranch as a tiny goat kid who was too weak and sick to lift his own head.
His story is the kind of story that defines sanctuary.
It is urgent care.
It is sleepless nights.
It is bottle feedings, vet visits, second chances, and the promise that once an animal is safe here, they are loved for life.
Pickles is one of 90+ residents who rely on Sale Ranch every single day.
Your ticket helps provide the hay, grain, supplements, special diets, and daily care that make sanctuary possible.
When you attend the Gala, you are not just buying a seat at a table.
You are helping feed the herd.

Can’t attend but still want to help feed the herd?

Your gift helps provide hay, grain, supplements and special diets for more than 90 rescued residents.
