Wildfire Update-Wednesday

We just learned that we were increased to a Level 2 evacuation this evening, so we know the decision to start moving early was a good one.

Staff spent the day getting large and small animals ready for transport to foster homes and partner agencies. What a busy day–sort of organized pandemonium–but over half of our animals made it safely to their homes-away-from-home. We have an amazing staff, amazing interns, and best of all, amazing supporters and volunteers.

Thanks a million to our wonderful community. For those who have tried to call the farm or email us, please be patient. We have one incoming phone line, and it was tied up most of the day taking care of foster business. If you want to offer your services as a foster home, please take the first step of filling out our short online questionnaire. We are using that to evaluate the many potential fosters out there.

Thanks to SO Humane and Equamore for graciously taking in our dogs and horses, respectively. Thanks to KTVL Channel 10 and KOBI Channel 5 for getting our story out.

Adoption Update: Ven (aka Blackjack)!Here's the email Colleen received from Ven's human mom, it sounds like a purrr-fect fit!"Ven is a gem, and I have had the best time with him. I think I found a my friend for life. He is very sweet and he has adjusted to the residence hall with ease. He doesn’t care when we need to leave for fire alarms, and sometimes I put him in his backpack and take him out on walks with me. He is 14 pounds of big boy so he is hard to carry but if it means he can get a taste of outside in safety it’s worth it. I bought him several toys but he prefers to play with boxes and paper bags. His all time favorite toy is a plastic Wendy’s spoon. This last month and a half he has started to chase his tail while on top of his cat tower. It is the only spot I’ve seen him chase his tail. Why he doesn’t do it on the ground is beyond me. He is super chatty, and I was not expecting that from a deaf cat at all but I love it because I can talk back to him even if he doesn’t hear me. I am so happy that you let me adopt this silly goose of a cat. He is perfectly weird and we are a perfect fit (even if he just stole my glasses and hid them under the oven for a week and a half)!" ... See MoreSee Less

Ah, showy milkweed, Asclepias speciosa! Full disclosure, this photo is not of the farm’s milkweed (the farm has both the showy and narrow-leaf kinds), however we wanted to share this shot from a park in Medford where the Monarch butterfly graced this lovely flower…How could we not share this one?! ...

Meet Merlin, the powerful wizard!This young boy will surely bring lots of wonder and magic into anyone's life. He loves his doggy pals as well as his two-legged human friends!We don't know much about Merlin's start in life other than he was abandoned with the rest of his litter not far from Rescue Ranch in Yreka CA. While he was reasonably timid at first he quickly learned that we weren't so bad and showed off his goofy and playful personality.He has been amazing in playgroups and loves making new canine friends wherever he goes.Put in an Adoption Application for this awesome boy today: sanctuaryone.org/rescue-animals/adopt-us/adoption-application/ ...
