About Satchels Last Resort
Satchel’s Last Resort is a no-kill animal shelter/sanctuary whose mission is to Rescue, Rehab and Rehome dogs and cats with nowhere else to go because of breed, behavior or medical issues. We are housed on 12 acres – two large play yards in the front of the building and a large area behind our building where volunteers can walk the dogs.
We believe all dogs and cats are created equal and deserve to live the life of a beloved pet. Each dog and cat that comes to us has its own unique and personal history. We get to know each one individually – his favorite toy, his favorite game, his favorite foods.
Our dogs live in an airy shelter with spacious kennels, get out four times a day – whether it be going for a neighborhood walk, a playtime in one of our large yards – 2 1/2 acres and 1/2 acre, or take the occasional car ride to let their fur flap in the wind. Our cats are housed in two separate open cat rooms.
Most important to us, we keep our animals safe from other residents and from humans who may want to harm them. Our staff work with our animals to teach them how to learn to trust again. We actively seek forever homes tailored to the needs of our dogs and cats so that they can live the rest of their lives among a family of their own. We believe that by harnessing the unconditional love that the animals in our sanctuary put forth everyday, the world becomes a brighter place for animals and people.
Each and everyday we try to give a little of their love back – back to the dogs and cats and back to our community.

This organization are true advocates. The transformations I’ve seen are amazing. all of the animals are so loved and safe. They truly care about each and every one of the animals they help and they work hard for every one of these babies to find forever homes.

The only non kill shelter in Sarasota they go the distance to help injured and sick animals providing safe haven and all medical needs until they are ready to adopt.

Went to visit today and I have to say the people who run this place do this with a passion and you can tell they are ALL for the dogs and cats. Rescue is not easy job. I hold each and everyone in high regard. Thank you for what you do for our Companion animals.

They’re a fantastic rescue group. They see and bring out the beauty and potential in “underdogs” like my Jack who was saved, fostered and lovingly brought up by them. They saw him through months of recovery from challenging obstacles that many would have given up on (probable beatings, life-threatening parvo, abandonment), and raised a beautiful, happy-go-lucky pup that I’m happy to now call mine.

I adopted 2 cats in March and now the mother of one of our adoptees today. The staff is great and the adoption process was easy. They do a great job of posting their various events and from my perspective, truly care about the welfare of the animals there. I recommend checking out their available cats/dogs for adoption.
