Meanwhile, Molly in the background…contemplating if it’s her turn or if waiting just builds character. 😂 🐑 💛

POV: You step into the pasture, and the sheep have one question… 🐑👀
‘Are you going to feed us or what?!’ 😂
These rescued fluffballs take meal time very seriously. Come meet them (and their big personalities) at our Tour & Explore event tomorrow! 🌿✨

Frizz was speaking her mind!
Like our other birds, guineafowl communicate using different vocalizations. Males have louder, one-note calls while females have softer calls.
Our brilliant Roz has a very long tongue, and she knows how to use it to her advantage 😁

New Goats: Chai and Latte!
‼️‼️ New Rescue Alert ‼️‼️
Big announcement: We recently rescued twin goats, a male named Chai and a female named Mocha, from a home where they were no longer able to receive proper care. Their caregiver had been suffering from her own health issues, and the goats, particularly Chai, were in dire need of help. We have never seen a goat with this many issues before ): He is underweight and has overgrown hooves, a pronounced limp, severe hair loss, and poor skin condition. While we work with our vet to get him on the path to recovery, we are also working to ensure he and Mocha both feel comfortable and begin to settle into their new home at the Refuge. They are 15 years old and have never been transported before, so they were understandably very scared of the process. However, they're now getting used to their new surroundings in our quarantine. It's obvious how bonded they are to one another, and we are so glad they will never be separated. Please help us welcome these two elderly siblings to the Refuge!
If you want to support Chai and Mocha on their new adventure, you can now sponsor them!!! Money from sponsorships will go into making sure they have everything they need here at the Refuge.

We're proud to announce March's Volunteer of the Month: Alex! 🏆
Alex has been volunteering in our office for about two months, organizing the space and helping to keep the sanctuary running. A talented musician, he's also provided enrichment to our animal residents by playing guitar and singing for them.
"My fave thing about volunteering is the people," he says. "I savor the time with like-minded peeps!"
Even though most of his work has been in the office, he adores the animals🐄🦆🐑. "Maybe I'll cuddle with a chicken someday - it's my lifetime dream!" 🐓

Our sheep clearly follow the five-second rule...
Hope thought the shoe was food! We didn’t have the heart to break it to her.
