Thursday's child has far to go, and so do we! We've come a long, long way in the last 15 years, WITH YOUR HELP! We've got a long way to go too! We long for the day when all animals and pets are loved, have homes and are protected by stronger laws against abuse and neglect. Until that day comes, we will continue to provide REFUGE to all animals we can!

This is Nellie (Opie's mother) - this photo was taken just a few days ago. Isn't she pretty? We really enjoy her!
Yesterday we lost half our power here at the refuge. No power means no lights and no heat. We were able to restore heat to 9th Life, in quarantine and the office. We have someone coming out to repair this for us today. We need to get everything restored quickly. Having heat, water and lights is critical here. Please donate if you can, we need help!
