If you want to keep your clothes pristine, this is not the place for you 😂
Temps are in the 30s now, with sunshine 🙌 and we’re loving it…but we’ve already hit our high and the winds are really scary at times! Back in the teens tonight so I’m filling up waters as often as possible before the hoses freeze.
Indie couldn’t care less - she and Sylvie are running and playing like it’s spring break 😂
We installed a pet door in our garage door as an option for Oliver to get out of the wind and cold. So far he can only figure out how to push the flap open if we’re shaking the cookie jar on the other side 😅 He’s very food motivated, as you may have guessed by the size of his tummy!
Here are some scenes from this frigid #givingtuesday !
We know you have so many amazing organizations to choose from as you plan your end of year giving, and we’re so thankful for all of our supporters. We’re a small organization, but it takes a lot of financial support to feed and care for the residents who call this piece of land home.
It’s after 2 pm and I just sat down to eat some lunch before having to start evening feedings at 3. These days are so hard, I’m not gonna lie….but I know there are many of you who would brave the cold along side me if you could, just to make sure everyone has what they need. I’m holding onto that belief and taking all of you with me as I layer up for the 15th time today!
Thank you again for your support 💜 we’re so grateful for all of you.

Catio 😺 update!
Thank you to everyone who helped us with purchasing this so Timmy could have a safe outside space. We still need a window cat door, and we might need to reinforce the wire on the catio so he can’t get out and Oliver can’t get in…but it’s a start, and we think he’ll enjoy it! He explored it for the first time this afternoon and he was definitely looking for a way out, but I do think he’ll settle into it. Maybe next time we’ll try it on a not-so-frigid day 🥶.
Please ignore how dirty our window is 😐
This is our life lately, juggling cats. Timmy has been (begrudgingly) indoors for a couple weeks. Poor Oliver hasn’t been allowed inside at all because they just want to kill each other. And we have to lock Timmy in the bedroom if anyone comes over, because we don’t want to take a chance of him getting stuck outside during this ridiculously cold week. We usually prop the back door open for Pete (our neighbor dog, who stays here when his mom is at work) because of his anxiety and claustrophobia; but now we have to constantly let him in and out.
Just a glimpse into the current situation here at the sanctuary!
How is she so perfect? 🥰🥹
Reed and Charlie are here to remind you that sharing is caring 🥰
It’s hard to believe that Indie has been here for almost a year! She was a few months old when she arrived, and just another few months shy of when she would have been used for someone’s dinner.
Do you see a food product when you look at this video? What - no, WHO - do you see? We see someone who is happy and loving life; someone who craves affection; someone who enjoys taking mud baths and naps in the sun; someone who knows when her meals are 5 minutes late. Indie is SOMEONE, not something. They all are.
We’re forever grateful to Tamara, who rescued Indie from the side of the road! She saw someone who was vulnerable and in need of help that morning as she left work. It would’ve been easy to just call the police or someone else to handle a stray pig, but she knew that might not end well for Indie. Thank you, Tamara!
If you are looking to decrease your meat intake but don’t know where to start, please reach out. There are a lot of resources out there, and we’d be glad to help. Indie and all of the other rescues here would be so proud of you 💚
