January 2020

As a new year - and a new decade - begins, we look forward to the growth and expansion that lies ahead. Behind the scenes, we're working tirelessly to propel the build progress, expand our programming and help more animals and senior pet owners in need. We are so excited to share with you all the latest news as we progress through this pivotal year in the sanctuary's history. Thank you for joining us every step of the way. It's going to be an incredible 2020!

 

Sincerely,

Jenny Hubbard

WILDLIFE TIP

Help backyard wildlife get through frigid temperatures by providing a fresh, unfrozen water source. A shallow birdbath or pan with a small heater (like ones found in farm stores) will not only help birds and mammals, but will also provide a wonderful wildlife viewing experience.
