Remember, when you support humane education, you help people understand the connections between animal welfare, biodiversity, human health, climate change, and environmental preservation. And of course, by supporting the sanctuary you continue to make sure there is a place for people to find empathy, connection with nature, and build interspecies relationships they would not otherwise have the chance to experience.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity today and every day.

With love, The Blackberry Creek Team 💜

Running a sanctuary isn’t all snuggling adorable animals (though that is a bonus)! Many days come with challenges whether they be veterinary emergencies, fundraising struggles, or in the case of this weekend, about a month’s worth of rain in 48 hours. 😳

Our team is made up of some pretty phenomenal humans who work rain or shine, in the mud, snow, and dark, without pay, to make sure the animals have what they need. And you know what? They literally NEVER complain and often say their shift is the best part of their week!

Photos:
#1 - Karen, Siri, and Corinne finishing up their Friday night volunteer shift after cleaning coops, scrubbing waters, feeding animals, and bedding them down for the night in the pouring rain.

#2 - Tara giving Sophie a wet snuggle after spending her Saturday afternoon cleaning the sheep and goat barn and filling it with fresh, warm straw.

#3 - Danielle’s Saturday morning spent trenching around a flooded pig barn.

This work is hard, but so so so worth it. Thank you for supporting our volunteer team and supporting the animals who call this place home.

Volunteer, Tara, saw this badass chase off another coyote stalking in the rain this afternoon while she was cleaning the sheep barn. The goodest boi; he’s so pleased with himself. ♥️💪☺️

Marshmallow was rescued from a terrible hoarding situation by and spent some time at before coming home to Blackberry Creek in 2021.

She is uniquely stunning with her one blue and one brown eye, and absolutely loves to puff up her tail, accept snacks, and show off for visitors.

Adopt-a-Turkey certificates will be sent out this week in the mail to all of our adopters! Please consider choosing to sponsor Marshmallow to ensure she has everything she needs for a long, happy, and healthy life here at Blackberry Creek. 💜 Link in bio or go to: https://blackberrycreek.givingfuel.com/adopt-a-turkey-2024

Cersei is an elusive feral cat who was rescued from the streets by the in Sacramento years ago. They provided her with medical care, vaccinations, and a spay procedure and adopted her out as a barn cat to us so she could continue living life wild and on her own terms. She’s elusive, not a fan of humans, and would probably eat us all if she was a little bigger… but she’s still an equally beloved resident here at 🥰

Snowball is the cuddliest turkey of the bunch and would love if you picked her for adopt-a-turkey month! A survivor of a factory farm, Snowball now has the chance to grow old and live in safety here in the peaceful forest at Blackberry Creek.

Helen Sturkie was rescued by from a horrendous hoarding situation where she was starved and living in filth. The on-site vet wanted to euthanize her due to infections in her feet, but Animal Control Officer Mark thought she should have a chance and a second opinion. Not wanting to post her on their adoption site for fear someone would “adopt” her just to eat her, he put the word out to sanctuaries instead.

Three years, two surgeries, and many Iv perfusions later, and Helen is quite possibly the most loving, gentle, sweet turkey we’ve ever met. She will always have a limp from where infection ate through her feet before surgery, but she is healthy and happy and will get to live to old age surrounded by love at

Please consider choosing Helen as your adopt-a-turkey this year and help us provide for her and advocate for turkeys everywhere. Adoption link in bio! Can’t adopt? Choose plant based meals and ditch eating birds. You’ll save even more that way! 🥰

For everyone who might need a laugh today, please enjoy volunteer Eric and Duncan (a rescued dairy calf saved from the veal industry) having a little fun together.

Remember, no matter what happens in politics, there are certain things we can control and choosing empathy and kindness for each other and non-human animals is paramount. Take action today by adopting a plant-based lifestyle and standing up to the oppression, violence, and speciesism inherent in the animal agriculture industry. ❤️

Wishing you a beautiful Thanksgiving full of peace, kindness, and gratitude.

Throwback Thursday! Please enjoy this ridiculous video made four years ago by our co-founder @_mother_of_chickens and her late friend Coconut the turkey. Coconut lived a beautiful, long life at the sanctuary and passed away of cancer in 2021. You can honor her memory by sponsoring a turkey this year at the link in our bio to help us continue providing lifetime sanctuary and care as well as education for a kinder world. Can’t sponsor a turkey this year? Simply pledging to not eat turkeys, or any bird friends, is even more impactful to animals and our planet!🦃🍁 #thanksgiving #grateful #loveoneanother #veganforher

Look who’s home!!! Finn is doing wonderfully after almost having his bladder burst due to a lodged urinary tract stone blocking his urethra. He’s been in the hospital for over a week and is so happy to be back home with his friends tonight. If you are able, please consider donating to his vet bill of nearly $3000 from his time at UC Davis. They took wonderful care of him and Dr. Nicole was one of our favorites so far! Sanctuary means optimum lifelong care provided to each of our friends, and we couldn’t do this important work without you.❤️ #grateful #welcomehome #finnyfinnfinn
