🔥😿🏠Our dear little Froggy is concerned about all of the cats and dogs (and every animal) who are scared, possibly injured, and alone because of the catastrophic LA fires.

We thank every firefighter, first responder, organization and individual risking their own lives and safety to find and help animals in need.

We especially want to thank our long-time friends at the amazing and wonderful Best Friends Animal Society.

Thank you and for mobilizing and working tirelessly to help animals injured and/or displaced in these fires. You stepped up from Day One to get dogs and cats out of the Southern California shelters and into foster homes or to your sanctuary in Kanab, Utah. Your commitment is superhuman and we can all learn from your admirable example.

BFAS has been the “gold standard” for animal rescue, spay/neuter programs, advocacy, education, and sharing of resources for decades. They “lead by example” and we have seen this first hand for 25 years.

Every single animal deserves to be saved and we appreciate every person and organization working toward that goal. Froggy also says “Thank You!”❤️🐈❤️

💚🐑🏠The crisis created by the wildfires in LA is understandably capturing world attention. We are thrilled to see so many people donating and volunteering.

But our day to day work at LFAS, saving animals and giving them lifetime care, is very expensive.

Can you donate $5 to LFAS monthly or can you become a Monthly Member for as little as $10 per month? On-line monthly recurring donations are the lifeblood of animal sanctuaries.

Our goal is to gain at least 10 new members per month in 2025. Linktree in bio or lovingfarm.org/membership (you can opt out at any time) or lovingfarm.org/donate.

Featured Family Member: Kismet is a big goofy floof. He has a huge personality and an appetite to match! Kismet is a unique individual who was saved from slaughter in the FFA program. And Kismet asks all y’all not to buy wool. He is a wool sheep and they usually end up in slaughterhouses!

Because Central and Southern California have gotten almost no rain this winter crisis Kismet and all of his LFAS friends are eating hay we are buying from feed stores…instead of grass we would grow on property. We feed one $25 bale of hay per day. That’s at least $750 per month…JUST FOR HAY!

Note: When we get “normal” rain this is an unnecessary expense. Please donate!

🙏🔥❤️To anyone being hard on people who live in LA because they’re all “rich” let me tell you my experience growing up in LA…

I grew up in a middle class suburb. We knew everyone on our street and parents worked hard to provide for their families. All of the kids I knew went to public schools and until high school we walked to school. The high school was further away so then our mothers took turns carpooling us.

My grandparents, my Dad’s parents, had immigrated from Sweden. Back then Swedes were very discriminated against so my grandparents moved to California where they were more accepted. No surprise!

My grandparents started a used car lot and a small almond farm in a town in Northern California. My Dad and his brother put themselves through Stanford University and both became aircraft engineers. That’s how we ended up in LA. There were jobs for engineers.

To anyone bashing LA and California in general or on social media I say…then don’t eat the fruits and vegetables we grow. Don’t watch the movies or TV shows created in California. And certainly refrain from using any technology developed here for example stop using iPhones and Apple computers. And don’t listen to any music created or produced in California. The list goes on and on…

California has its problems and not everyone here is a “good” person. But it’s the most unique and forgiving place I’ve ever lived. People have come to California from all over the world because they had a dream and sometimes those dreams came true.

Please be kind to California. We are going through a crisis and we will be forever changed because of it. Hopefully for the better…but right now we are pretty beaten down.😢

😢January is “normally” when we get rain in California but we have gotten almost NO RAIN this winter. So the ground and vegetation are dry instead of wet.

Add to that winds of up to 100 miles per hour and it’s the “perfect” condition for wildfires.

So as some people are pointing fingers, and displaying an appalling lack of empathy for our beautiful state and our human and non-human (domestic and wild animals) residents, perhaps it’s time to look inward instead.

Supporting the MASSIVE ANIMAL AG industry (by eating meat, dairy, and eggs) is a MAJOR CAUSE of the climate crisis. Please open your heart and wrap your minds around an industry slaughtering BILLIONS of innocent animals every year.

So when fingers are pointed at as the cause of climate change consider the fact that Animal Agriculture is AT LEAST half of the cause. It is a huge, filthy industry that overuses land and water and grows food to feed animals instead of growing🌱plant-based🌱food to feed people.

The environmental destruction and animal suffering caused by the corporations breeding, torturing and slaughtering innocent animals are far reaching and multi layered. Stop making people in charge of these corporations wealthy!

Note: Most Californians work hard and most of us appreciate what we have. Yes, California has celebrities and movie stars and dreamers and wealthy and not wealthy residents. But ALL Californians, human and non-human, have feelings and families, and hopes and dreams. Please think good thoughts for us during this crisis.🔥

🔥🐶❤️We can’t stop thinking about ALL of the victims of the horrific fires in Southern California. We want to help but we are about 200 miles away.

But Joey is asking us to help a dog (in a SoCal shelter) who is healthy and close to her age and size. Joey is around 2 1/2 to 3 years old and 30 pounds.

If any SoCal shelters have a dog in need of a forever home who could be a best friend to our super friendly Joey please contact us. Maybe we could free up a shelter space for another dog in need.

DM us or
email [email protected]

On a personal note:🏠I was born and raised in LA County. I am heartbroken by the devastation of a part of California I love so much. We are sending love to everyone of EVERY species impacted by these apocalyptic fires.💔🔥😢

🌎💨🔥We feel very fortunate to be located about 200 miles north of Los Angeles. The apocalyptic wildfires happening right now in and near LA are fueled by incredible winds and are creating great loss and tragedy in Southern California.

The photo on this LFAS post is our rescued dairy cow, Angelica, in the early morning fog here in Paso Robles. Angelica and all 55 of our animals are safe. We are feeling very very lucky.

Note: Please know the dramatic wildfires, and weather events, happening all over the world are tied into the climate crisis and it’s only going to get worse. Please be open to information and suggestions on how you can make choices in your lives that can make a positive difference.

Everyone here at LFAS in Paso Robles is holding the victims of the SoCal fires in our hearts and minds. These fires are hurting not only people. Companion animals, farmed animals, and wild animals are also terrified and trying to find safety.

Please contact us if we can help you.

🌅🐓🏠Good morning from a whole bunch of happy feathered friends. Seeing our rescued chickens joyfully greet a new day always makes me smile.🌞

Oddly…most people seem to think of chickens as “food” but I don’t eat chickens for the same reasons I don’t eat dogs and cats.🐓🐕🐈They are all living, breathing, intelligent, sensitive, loving and emotional beings. Why would I eat any of them? That would be wrong and weird.🤮

💞🐐🏥UPDATE ON VINNY! He’s doing very well now that he’s home from his life saving procedures at UCDavis Vet Hospital.

Vinny’s fun personality has returned but he doesn’t like to be cold first thing in the morning. Hence, Vinny now has a cozy mini horse blanket to wear on these chilly mornings and he loves it!

We are very grateful to the vets and staff who saved Vinny’s life. They all treat our animals like precious family members not “livestock.” That’s one of the many reasons we are looking for a new location closer to Davis.

Please think good thoughts for us and contact us if you have ideas about raising capital for a new property!

Note: Vinny’s buddy Dexter told us he is fine without a blanket so all is well!

🐮🌱🕊️Angelica has a wonderful New Year’s suggestion for all of us!

Please don’t support the animal dairy industry! This huge, vile industry is based in animal cruelty (taking babies away from their mothers) and…whether people believe it or not…it’s hurting us too.

Dairy products are NOT good for us. This cruel and filthy industry (and our government) have been lying to us about milk and other dairy products being healthy for humans. It’s a whole lot of propaganda!

Cow’s milk, and goat and sheep and EVERY species, are only good for their own babies. Cow babies. Goat babies. Sheep babies. Dog babies. Cat babies. Horse babies. Giraffe babies. Human babies. The list is endless. ALL babies need the milk from THEIR OWN mothers.

Angelica wants you to support plant based products.🙏There are so many delicious, cruelty-free, healthy choices! Experiment! Try them all!🌱💚Our beautiful Angelica (who is our second rescued dairy cow) says thank you and she hopes you have a Happy and Healthy 2025!🎉🌟✨💫🎉

🐷🐶Yes it’s true that pigs are very similar to dogs temperamentally. Pigs are also naturally social and friendly toward people and other species.

But there are significant differences to be aware of if you are ever considering a pig as a “pet.”

Pigs need A LOT of space to run and play…meaning acreage type space. They don’t really want to live inside your house…at least not all the time.

And…to be truly happy…pigs need other pigs. Pigs snuggle and spoon and love to sleep touching each other. They also roam and hang out all day together as a couple or a family.

Important: Pigs need sturdy fencing, reliable gates, and a cozy shelter or barn.

And just like dogs…pigs need to be spayed and neutered. This is VERY important!

Note: We get contacted constantly by people who no longer want their pigs. Please don’t buy a pig from a breeder on impulse…or ever! And always ! But first do your research. Would you be able to give 2 or more pigs a forever home? If so, please reach out to us. We will help you adopt! Pigs are awesome!

🎄😻🎄Froggy is wishing all y’all a very Merry Christmas!

Froggy happens to celebrate Christmas but whatever you celebrate…whatever you believe…please make it positive. We can all live lives that inspire compassion…especially toward anyone who is isolated and defenseless.

2025 is our opportunity to come together in new and better ways. Every day we each have an opportunity to help someone (human and non-human) in small or big ways.

Here’s an idea that all of us can do…adopt, volunteer, or foster at local shelters. (Or donate) There are lots and lots of healthy, wonderful cats and dogs waiting for forever homes.🏠🐈‍⬛🐕🏠

Froggy says “Merry Furry Christmas everyone!”😻🎄🌟🎉🎅❤️💚

🕊️🦃🕊️I took this photo of our Fernanda a few years ago but it’s one of my all-time favorites. It exudes such a feeling of peace and also love for a beautiful rescued turkey who is protected for life.

Our goal at LFAS is always to offer a haven of safety for rescued animals and people too. In a world that is becoming more tumultuous we have created a sanctuary of hope and harmony.

Are you looking for a last minute Christmas or Hanukkah gift? If you make a donation of $25 or more in the name of a loved one we will send them an email (or we can send it to you) telling them of your generous gift and how much it means to our rescued animals.

We wish all of you a joyful holiday season and a healthy and happy 2025! It’s going to be a great year!

❤️🐴❤️Dan Mustang is the sweetest boy. Just look at his precious face. Always kind. Loved by everyone.

Dan was born in the wild in 1996 and rounded up for slaughter when he was still a baby.

This despicable travesty of exterminating iconic American wild horses still goes on present day. Why? Because of beef cattle ranchers.😡

Please support wild horses by boycotting the beef industry. 👎Please. Dan (and his whole LFAS family) say thank you!😁

🐮🐮These beauties are alive and well only because they found their way to our sanctuary. Otherwise they would be dead. No kidding.😢

Why would anyone see these girls as food? Why would anyone participate in their slaughter?

Being vegan is so fun and easy and…it comes with a clear conscience!🌱

Angelica and Isabella are wishing you and your families Peace On Earth, health and happiness this holiday season.

Please consider a 2024 year-end tax deductible donation to LFAS so we can save more lives and change more hearts and minds in 2025!

Remember, as long as a check is post marked before midnight December 31st you get a tax write-off in 2024!
