Meet our new donkey, Julia! She is incredibly sweet and loves company. Which makes it especially sad that she was deprived of social contact and even shelter in her last residence. Her hooves were overgrown and her coat patchy, but we have immediately set about getting her the care she needs, and everything is looking up for Julia! We are absolutely delighted by her already ✨🙌

Pup alert! The sanctuary has taken in 11 newborns whose mother was feral and abandoned them. Natalie is now hand-feeding these precious little souls around the clock. They will be raised with care and attention before being put up for adoption. ❤️

Puppies! These babies were found in a heap somewhere in Valencia County and taken into a shelter.
They were taken from their mother at far too young an age, only about 2.5 weeks- so young that Natalie had to hand-feed them.
The shelter called Natalie immediately because it had no way of hand-feeding them.
Bottom line is they were taken way too early by someone who just wanted to dispose of them. We are grateful for the chance to give them a second lease on life. They are adorable and adoptable and Natalie says they will be wonderful dogs. ❤️

Everyone please meet our newest resident, Gracie. She is an approximately 8 month old Barbados Black Belly Sheep who cheated death. She was being kept in a cage and fattened up for butchering by people who intended to eat her. They had set her kill day- twice- and for various reasons never got around to it.
Thankfully, a compassionate person learned of this and managed to obtain custody of Gracie. She was rushed to the vet for an injured front leg- expected to recover fully- and then brought to us on Monday. She is living with our llama, Cass- the two formed a strong, instant bond and are now never apart. Where Cass goes, Gracie goes.
She is incredibly peaceful, gentle, and bright. Please, think of Gracie the next time you consider a lamb chop. Every one of those animals wanted to live and didn’t deserve to die. Gracie is a lucky one 💕🌸 Welcome home, little lamb. 🐑

Meet Dani! The Sanctuary received a call from a concerned citizen in El Dorado, NM who reported that an abandoned pig was running loose. This man had called the Department of Game and Fish to help the lost pig and they told him to “put a bullet in its head.” That was their “solution.” Thankfully, he didn’t listen and called us instead.
We immediately enlisted the help of , which managed to catch the pig. They saved her life. And named her Dani.
She has now received appropriate veterinary care, including treatment for Dippity Pig Syndrome, which is brought on by stress and is comparable to Shingles in humans (Dani’s rash is evident in the 3rd pic.) She is under a year old and simply the sweetest, gentlest personality.
Side note: This isn’t the first time Game and Fish has been abominable. A few years back, they told Natalie she could be fined for feeding the birds. Please refrain from EVER using them as a resource.

The Sanctuary received this six-week-old litter of Labrador mixes yesterday evening from a euthanasia list. They were starving. Natalie reports that they were all standing on their hind legs absolutely screaming for food. Now, they will have brimming bowls, clean, fresh water, and a safe home to gain strength and vibrancy before going out into the world and living long, full, happy lives 🙏❤️

Puppy alert! Last night the sanctuary took custody of this precious pair, siblings, only a month old. They have squishy faces and soft, graceful bodies. They are very much enjoying the puppy area with its luxe blankets, relaxing music, and endless esbilac. We are honored to have them. If you are interested in adopting one or both, please contact Natalie! ❤️

How it’s going vs. how it started! 💁‍♀️ Natalie and board member and biologist Justin Stevenson decided the sanctuary was missing something: a pond! Several hours of tractor time, tons of bentonite clay and soil, and a well-timed rainstorm later, and we are well on our way to establishing a beautiful pond in the meadow, 3.5 feet at its deepest, the newest puppy play spot and wildlife drinking station on sanctuary grounds! 💙🩵🤍

Our Director, Natalie, wanted to share a bit about a little-known initiative of the sanctuary involving puppies. In recent months and years, a major focus of our resources and attention has been on moving puppies out of New Mexico and into other states around the country with better infrastructure in place for homeless animals. Right now, we have received word that animal control has 60 puppies in its custody from Valencia County, NM alone. Shelters here are overrun, and while we continue to push for more widespread spay and neuter, Natalie remains laser-focused on giving puppies a chance at a better life, as, she says, “by hook or by crook.” To that end, any donation no matter how small, will help us with this major Sanctuary focus. 🙏

In the middle of preparing possible fire evacuation plans, our founder, Natalie Owings, took in a litter of 12-day-old puppies who would otherwise have been euthanized. As she explains here, they need round-the-clock care. She has unending reserves of compassion and a backbone of titanium.
