Why the long face Pru? ???? Pru is a striking mangalitsa piggy, a wooly breed of pig. She came to us as a stray from animal control 2 years ago as a little tiny baby. No shocker, but she was and is a little weird, but also sweet and cuddly. She is possibly the most […]

Jeb and Ray… Back in March, a backyard homesteader reached out because one of her milking goats had developed a severe and deep-seated dangerous mastitis, an infection of the udder (mammary tissue). Her goat was close to becoming septic from her infection, and her only chance to live was a full mastectomy. Owners who have […]

Mabel, after a thunderstorm. Mabel was part of our very first cow rescue in 2016. We had been contacted to help a lame calf who was unable to get up, and as often happens, we arrived to find a serious neglect case of three sick, starving baby calves. We left that night just with Michelle, […]

With the extreme weather and air quality warnings making the outdoor world unsafe for our special needs animals, we are desperate for your unneeded linens! If you’re late on spring cleaning and need to clear out used, clean towels, blankets, sheets, rugs, or comforters (no pillows please!) you can drop them off on the wooden […]

Here is the first photo we took of Ethel, one of the sanctuary’s oldest residents. Today, she said her last goodbyes to her loving human and animal friends. Ethel was one of the most abused, starved animals to ever join us, part of a herd of 150 animals who were fed one bale of hay […]

Current real feel temp: 106 degrees. How are we beating the heat today?? We’re not. We are miserable. But little ball of sunshine frostbite survivor Frances says it’s better than too cold! She’s currently hanging out under the shade sail on her comfy blankie near the misters, staying hydrated with a big bucket of high […]
