Please help us find Bubba and Tank their forever home! It's been nearly two years since we rescued dozens of animals from a terminally ill person in Southern California. Most found forever homes but we still have bonded buddies, Bubba & Tank. They are five-year-old males and are still quite healthy. Guinea pigs can live anywhere from 7-10 years, so these two sweeties have several years ahead to enjoy! We'd like them to enjoy their lives in a forever home. We will provide food, toys, and enrichment to anyone who can provide them with a home. Their ideal home is indoors, with ample space (preferably their own room). Bubba and Tank are very motivated by food and treats. With more attention, they would likely become more interested in pets. Please help us find Bubba & Tank a guinea-pig loving home! We will adopt in northern California and southern Oregon. Apply to adopt here: https://animalplace.org/rabbit-adoption/

Millie is one lucky calf - she now has two moms! Bio mom Lillie and adoptive mom, Maple (who is in a relationship with Lillie now). Maple is originally from a dairy, and all of her babies were taken from her before she was rescued by @blackberrycreek. We love that Maple now has the chance to love who she wants to and mother all of the calves who arrive. And we double love that Lillie gets to raise her baby in sanctuary. 💛

Cauliflower had to go to the vet for laser ablation to remove some squamous cell carcinoma (a sadly common cancer in white furred, dwarf goats). Because she is an adult, Cauliflower offered to drive herself. Our very own vet tech, Ruby, declined Cauli's request. 😕 #letcaulidrive

This is our quarterly plea to stop buying and hatching chicks. We cannot take your roosters. We have 40 roosters - 17 of whom are adoptable. Within 50 miles of us, 22 roosters in shelters need placement. 90% of ALL of our intake requests are roosters - this year, we've been asked to intake well over 250 animals. Sanctuaries are at capacity. We are so tired of saying no. We are so tired of being made to feel guilty for someone else's decision to buy or breed chickens. And we are so sad that we cannot help the Good Samaritans who go out of their way to save the roosters someone else dump. Roosters deserve so much better.
