Instead of having a turkey on your table, join us at Animal Place in sponsoring one of these amazing birds who have been saved from the holiday slaughter season. Your sponsorship makes a world of […]

Sprite is lucky to be alive. And that’s truly heartbreaking, because Sprite has only been on this planet for 7 weeks. Earlier this month, Sprite huddled in a crate, surrounded by the screams of her flockmates. She had no water or food, no protection from the elements. Can you imagine how terrified she must have

Amount raised: $3,790/$6,500* As I write to you, Mocha bunny is being prepped for surgery. This unexpected emergency may cost well over $6,500…but Mocha

Spring has sprung and Trixie needs some special enrichment during flock-down.  You might be asking, “what is flock-down?” In 2022, an avian influenza outbreak devastating wild & domestic birds in Europe made its way to North America.  Since then, more than 80 million domestic birds and millions of wild birds have died or been killed
