Like all your favorite nonprofits, we're asking for your generosity today to keep our barn doors open and continue our mission of helping farmed animals!

Last year, our residents' medication and vet bills were $16,000. This year, we've already incurred a WHOPPING $38,000 in bills! As an 11-year old sanctuary, the price of caring for our senior residents is staggering. But we will always fulfill our promise to our residents.

Please help us on this Giving Tuesday to provide the needed meds, vet visits, and care for Annie, Zeke, William, Lily, Ruth and all the beautiful beings of PEAK!

Thank you for making this Giving Tuesday count. Let’s start this season of giving with compassion and care. 💕

🌿 Remembering Pan 🐐💔

With heavy hearts, we share the passing of our beloved Pan the goat, a cherished member of the PEAK Animal Sanctuary family. Pan’s gentle spirit, curious nature, and boundless love touched everyone who met him.

Pan made it through his first surgery at Purdue last week, but the vet team told us that there were numerous additional crystals in his bladder. We factored in his age and the quality of life he would have after a second, risky surgery and made the devastating decision to say goodbye to our sweet Pan.

Home hospice wasn’t an option due to his inability to use his bladder. We wanted nothing more than to give him one more day at PEAK amongst his family and friends. Our dedicated animal care team was with him at Purdue as he closed his eyes for the last time.

These are the heartbreaking decisions and actions that come with sanctuary life. Up until Pan’s medical emergency, our goat herd had been healthy. This has been so hard on all of us.

Though our hearts ache, we find comfort in knowing Pan lived surrounded by compassion, care, and the peace of sanctuary. His legacy will forever inspire us to advocate for animals like him, ensuring their voices are heard and their lives are valued.

From his playful antics in the pasture to his quiet moments of affection with visitors and caregivers, Pan reminded us of the beauty and individuality of every life. The team would often refer to him as “Pandemonium” because he would cause lots of chaos at times. Rayann shared, “we’d be cleaning stalls and then all of a sudden, he would just come up behind us and nudge us/knock us with his horns.” He was a spunky guy, indeed!

Thank you for being part of Pan’s journey and supporting the work that made his time with us possible. Please hold him in your thoughts today and hug your loved ones—human and animal—a little tighter. 🐾❤️

Rest easy, sweet Pan. You will always be in our hearts. 🕊️🌈

🚨MEDICAL EMERGENCY: Known for his playful energy and soulful eyes, our dear Pan has brought endless joy to everyone lucky to meet him. Last week, the team found Pan on his side and rushed him to Purdue. Our poor boy is in a life-threatening emergency: painful bladder crystals that required urgent surgery to save his life. 💔

Pan made it through the operation on Friday thanks to quick action and expert care. Unfortunately, today’s update from Purdue is not good—there are still more large stones that aren’t passing on their own. More tests are being done to see if they get the stones another way. Either way, Pan is looking at a second procedure.

We were waiting to share this with our community in hopes that we’d have a positive update. So much is still unknown. What we do know is the medical bill from the surgeries and his stay will be staggering. This sanctuary runs entirely on love, dedication, and community support, and we need YOUR help to cover Pan’s life-saving treatment.

Every donation, no matter how small, makes a huge difference with this unexpected bill. Whether it’s $5, $50, or simply sharing Pan’s story, your kindness ensures we can help Pan beat this!
Rayann visited Pan on Sunday and brought his favorite hay from home.

Thank you for your help in getting Pan this treatment and bringing him home!
