Lakeview Animal Sanctuary

This is the official page of Lakeview Animal Sanctuary. Since 1982 Lakeview Animal Sanctuary INC. Our guiding principles are to rescue, save and love.

has been a safe haven for unwanted, elderly, neglected, abandoned or abused animals. Being a sanctuary is our gift to the animals who need us. We do everything in our power to allow them to have happiness while having a secure home on the farm. Our goal is to rescue and rehabilitate animals and to educate and inspire the public about their care and welfare. Unlike traditional shelters that emphasi

ze adoption, the primary purpose of L.A.S is to provide lifetime care and sheltering of animals who while still able to lead a quality life are unable to find permanent homes due to old age, chronic illness, handicap, temperament issues or other factors. We are a registered 501c3 and operate strictly through volunteers and donations from the community. We receive no state or federal funding. Our board members are as follows:
President: Shannon Pearson
Vice President: Lindsay Moore
Treasurer: Donna Slonina
Assistant Treasurer: Matthew Moore
Secretary: Ricky Ostrom

I scrubbed my shower today. That's probably not rescue or sanctuary related, but hear me out....
Thanks to our crew of amazing volunteers I was able to do REAL housecleaning in my home.
That sounds pretty simple doesn't it? For some, it probably is! Sometimes it isn't easy to find the time or energy to do household things. Now I'm not saying that I never scrub my shower......but you can definitely tell that I live on a farm!
What I'm trying to say is that people may not realize how much a kind word, a helping hand, a small donation or a sweet gesture can mean to someone. Showing grace to someone who is overwhelmed and exhausted goes a long way. We are not machines. We are living beings who pour ourselves into the lives of others until we're drained and aren't able to do the small things for ourselves.
Please help someone "scrub their shower". It will mean more than you know.
Thank you to the ladies that chased me into the house today. I needed that!

Why settle for a brief boom when you can make a lasting impact? Donate feed to a local animal shelter instead of buying fireworks!

We introduced Sir Chippy & his buddy George Kune to their new mud hole today!!!!!! I think they love it 💙

Thank you to those of you answered our call for help with feed for the birds! We appreciate you so much. If anyone wants to help towards any of the animals' feed here is our chewy link! https://www.chewy.com/g/lakeview-animal-sanctuary_b120459245

Good morning! I had a lot of fun zooming in on the individuals in this morning's photo, zoom in to find your own smile!!

When we ask "who wants to go bye-bye", they line up at the door and wait to get their leashes on. They love to go out into the community and meet new people! Of course the snacks are an added bonus.... This crew of animals has given thousands of smiles though the years, showing people that there is a place for farm animals that need a home and lots of love. We do not adopt animals out, they don't see their friends come & leave. Here they are with family and surrounded by a team of attentive and loving staff. We love seeing you all learn about the animals and what we do. Keep an eye out for us at the car show and stop to say hi!

Oh my bird! We are happy to provide this little flock with a forever home but we could really use some help with feed! If you can help with all flock pellets (because we have a mixed flock) or layer pellets for the 25+ chickens that we recently took in we would really appreciate the help. Please privately message us for the address or reach out to (716) 990-7030 if you can help us out. Here is a link to our chewy wishlist: https://www.chewy.com/g/lakeview-animal-sanctuary_b120459245 -list

Thursdays on the Water 97 Rock

We have a pretty big need! Hardware cloth, and lots of it. We also could use zip ties.
In the past few days we have taken in about 26 surrendered hens & roosters that needed us! When they are out of quarantine, they will mix in with our current flock.
This means we have to add on and predator-proof a large area! Here is a link to see the type of material that we need. It is sold in many places but this is an example. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/garden-zone-24-in-h-x-100-ft-w-hardware-cloth

Happy birthday to farm auntie Diane!!!! She even came this evening to help on her special day! This hardcore farm gal gets right in there and gets it done, no matter how muddy or gross the job is. Her organizational skills and attention to detail are something that we definitely value around this farm. Love & hugs from all of us animals at the sanctuary Diane!

Thank you Kel's Kitchen for doing a May fundraiser for us!

Thank you for the orders benefiting Lakeview Animal Sanctuary for May!

What a great idea!

Thanks to Nora and Home Depot, we will be working on beautifying the grounds! We sure have plenty of fertilizer! Thank you so much Nora!

We are desperately seeking these 8' panels. Please note the way that they attach at the sides as well as the lack of the tall legs. We could even use 6' ones.
We use these for our educational animal presentations throughout the community. Please message us if you have any available! We have tried all of the local farm supply stores, they do not carry them.

Reggie the red dragon....he's so much like the devil in disguise. (A play on the song 'Devil in Disguise' by Elvis Presley and The Jordanaires)

Just when we thought that Magic couldn't be more perfect..he leaned a new trick!

Meet Sir Chippy's new brother, George Kune! Privately owned and supported, he will live as a companion to Chippy the sanctuary sweetheart. #kunekune #kunekunepiglet #sanctuarypig #farmsanctuary

This is a very loud, sort of long video BUT..... baby Gary has been adopted by a gander pair! They couldn't be happier to be daddies. 💙 We were so relieved that their introduction went well.

Tomorrow evening, we will unite for the benefit of Lakeview Animal Sanctuary's feathered & furry residents. Tickets will be available at the door, with 100 available. We thank our tireless volunteers and committed supporters for making this event a reality. Your contributions allow us to deliver the necessary care and provide the best possible lives for the animals in our sanctuary. Lakeview Animal Sanctuary

Alpaca, hair sheep & wool available after 4 pm today! Donations gladly accepted but not required. Message the page for arrangements please. Bring your own tote or bag.

I think they need an in-ground pool!

Our new office assistant is backed up on calls, but he's pecking away at them as fast as he can!

The best boy ever is celebrating his 23rd birthday today!

Wind speed & direction are things to take into consideration during shedding season! It's also advised not to wear chapstick & keep your mouth closed.

Goodnight from Baby cakes! Since she's been here, this reserved and quiet mule has learned that it's ok to just be. Be silly, be quiet, be happy, be afraid-its all ok. We're here for all of it and we love to share it all of our followers. This morning we caught the silly mule in her. She really enjoys her mini herd mates (they belong to our president), but Jessie is her favorite! Eve felt a little left out but I'm sure her turn came later on.

Goodnight from Alexander! One thing our special little guy loves is a little apple cider vinegar in his water! Next on his list is spring mix salad, which he mixes into his duck food. I'm sure he has a recipe that he's going for but we haven't figured it out yet! He enjoys his blanket time when he can flap his wings and preen in the sun. Tomorrow we'll give him the kiddie pool with water and let him just be a duck, then it'll be treatment time again before he goes back into his enclosure. We're looking forward to spoiling him with some treats in his pool soon-stay tuned for the video!

Goodnight from Maya! This 30 year old quarterhorse is actually 1/4 horse. She's 1/4 horse, 1/4 lizard, 1/8 crazy red mare, 1/8 beaver, 1/4 darling. Many volunteers call her 'theirs'. Her almond shaped eyes and her sweet disposition have made her a barn favorite for the past 13 years. We're so blessed to have been chosen as her forever home. This is what we do, we love them for the rest of their lives and beyond. Do you have a favorite picture of sweet Maya? We love to see your photos!

Alexander update: he's so patient with everything we have to do to help him. He really enjoys this and gets a little upset when it's time to get out! He started an antiinflammatory and pain medicine today, he's eating his spring mix salad and interacting with his other 2 handicapped roommates. We're doing everything we can to keep him happy & comfortable as he heals.

Here's another view that includes her bouncing!

Goodnight from Meadow & Lily! The babies are getting along great. They're all the same age but of course different types of animal so there's a bit of a language barrier. Meadow has found her playful personality and now bounces throughout the barn with Lily and Juniper. This bond is exactly what we'd hoped for. Here's to many more years of playful head butting!

Goodnight from Magic! This boy. He LOVES this weather! He also loves flirting with Davina but that's a story for another night. Enjoy 2 minutes of me telling him to go to his room. Yes they all know exactly what that means and most of them have heard it for years. Some boys (*cough, cough*Magic) want to be big snow puppies. The look on his face. Boys. 🙄
