Howie - weighing in at about 2,000 pounds - is both our largest and arguably most charismatic resident. Howie’s mother died giving birth to him and he was dropped into a night box at an animal shelter when he was just hours old. Shelter workers wanted to raffle him off to folks who planned to raise him for slaughter. Animal Place intervened and demanded that the orphaned calf be given a chance to live his life out in peace at our sanctuary. Howie has been with us for over 7 years and spends his days grazing the hillsides, hanging out with the other animals, and getting into trouble whenever possible!
