On a warm day in June, two people witnessed a dog being abused. As you would have, they both called 911, and officers arrived shortly thereafter. After arresting the individual and rescuing the dog, the officers discovered a cat, a chick, and a mouse inside the person’s vehicle.
🥰You will be happy to know that all four animals are safe and healthy, and that they will never see this individual again.🥰
While the dog and cat went to forever homes, we offered to help with the chicken and mouse.
🐥The chicken is only 9-weeks-old and is the sweetest girl! We named her Chia, and she would like to perch on your shoulder! You can meet Chia virtually by watching this video!
🐁I adopted the mouse, Nutmeg, after my daughter and I fell in love with his sweet personality.
Chia is safe and sound because people like you saw something and took action. If you believe we can create a kinder world through rescue and good care, we could use your help:
Want to order something just for Chia? All of the items listed as “high priority” are for Chia and August (see below). If you order something for Chia and August, please email us so we can thank you properly!
Want us to transform your dollars into bags of feed, bales of straw, and top-notch medical care? Make a donation! Your gift of any amount is what fuels the sanctuary – individual donors like you make it possible for animals like Chia to be saved.
At Animal Place, we share your values of compassion and kindness to other animals.
Around the same time Chia was pulled from that car, another special soul came to the sanctuary – August, a 4-month-old calf. A local shelter confiscated him from an individual who could not provide the young calf proper care.
You can tell that August did not receive proper nourishment – his coat is brittle, dirty, and coarse. One front leg is shorter than the other. Initial veterinary assessment indicated he might have a neurological issue. We consulted with a neurologist at UC Davis, and they do not believe August’s issues are neurological.
We will monitor him closely, but right now he is comfortable and well-fed. August is VERY shy but he LOVES treats. My daughter has been spending time with him, and he seems really curious about her. Watch them enjoy a special moment together.
