Our Team
Faith Albright, DVM
Founder, President
Faith has been vegan since 2004 after visiting a farmed animal sanctuary and learning about the terrible conditions these animals face. At that time, she dedicated her life to ending their suffering and began the long road to founding her own sanctuary. Becoming a veterinarian and paying off her student loans were the first two steps in this process. She received a degree in evolution, ecology, and biodiversity from UC Davis, and her veterinary degree from the University of Illinois.
After working as a shelter vet in San Francisco for several years, Faith started her home euthanasia practice in 2014 and has enjoyed deeper interactions with clients and the relatively relaxed demeanor of pets in a familiar environment. She believes that our beloved pets should be allowed to pass surrounded by their loved ones, in the comfort and safety of their home. Until recently, she also worked with an amazing team as the surgeon doing regular spay and neuter clinics.
In 2018, Dr. Albright realized her dream and founded One Living Sanctuary, now home to over 80 rescued farm animals happily living out their lives in peace. Her compassionate work as a home euthanasia vet directly supports the sweet animals who call this sanctuary home, as well as donations from kind-hearted animal lovers.
Outside of veterinary work and sanctuary life, Faith enjoys the culinary arts, baking sourdough, meditation, yoga, running, biking, hiking and almost any outdoor activity. She regularly attends HAI workshops and volunteers on team.
