Howie is the star of the sanctuary. After his mom died giving birth to him, Howie was left in the “deposit” box at an animal control center. He was only 4-days-old when he arrived February of 1996. Howie moves a little slower now and is a lot bigger…2,200 lbs!

Sebastian is a nub-eared (naturally) goat who loves getting scratches from people. He was the lone survivor of a horrendous neglect case – dozens of sheep and goats starved to death. Animal Place saved the tiny goat. Sebastian is a healthy, happy goat.

Peggy-Sue wasn’t supposed to survive. At only a few days of age, she nearly died from a raging infection. Originally destined for slaughter as part of a 4-H project, one of the students saved her life. Imagine our surprise when Peggy Sue got better and the 4-H teacher wanted her back for slaughter! She soon had to enter the Piggy Protection Program…Peggy Sue isn’t her real name!

Rosebud loves carrots and cilantro. She would have been one of the million rabbits slaughtered for consumption in the United States each year. Instead, she was rescued with her brother Casper and both are happy, healthy bunnies.

Cecilia is one of 2,000 egg-laying hens Animal Place rescued from a factory farm. She was only a year-and-a-half old when pulled from a tiny, metal cage crowded with seven other birds. Her beak had been cut off, which now makes eating food a bit tough. But that doesn’t stop her from enjoying her life of freedom!

Eliza loves trilling turkey songs to visitors! She is a “production” turkey saved from a gruesome fate by a kind-hearted rescuer. Though her upper beak has been removed, and the first digits of her toes severed, she doesn’t let that stop her from enjoying life.

Sophie is a sweet sheep who had a tough start in life. When she was a day old, she was saved from death by a compassionate stranger. Called a “bummer” lamb, Sophie would not have survived long without intervention. Now, she grazes the hillsides with her sheep kin.
