It’s Monday, so we thought you might like to catch up with baby Yum Yum. He grows cuter by the day! Love ya speak soon. www.thesanctuaryatsoledad.org Patreon.com/sanctuaryatsoledad
Goodbye Florida, at least for the moment. On our way back to California to pick up our first group of babies to bring back. We can’t wait to get started on our new projects. This trailer will be our spay/neuter clinic. The need here is so great. People can not afford $100.00 plus for feral cats, trap and release, so we must do our best to help this situation. We WILL make it happen. On our way out of town there were 2 dogs, separate situations, Dead on the side of the road. Can’t wait to get back and get started! Love ya speak soon.

I was in Tractor Supply Store getting some essentials for our move, and I had a long conversation with an employee who surprisingly had been following the Sanctuary at Soledad social media for the past few years. (What a coincidence!) Anyway she told me some very depressing stories about the way animals are treated here and the lack of financials that many of the locals, and the way they go about their animal care made us sick to our stomach. She went on to tell us that many of the locals don't have the money to spay and neuter their dogs or cats, so a lot of times there are so many litters of puppies and kittens being born without access to food/safe shelter/and medical supplements, that these babies are being tossed onto the side of the road, or end up dead within days of their birth. The part that really tore my heart was hearing about the way horses were being taken to abandoned areas and being set off into the wild. The people here are in a financial rut that while they still seem to want to care for animals, they don't even have the funds to do so. I was told that the county doesn't even budget for an affordable spay/neuter clinic so that the extreme overpopulation of animals and the animal abuse that occurs after their birth is enough to make anyone sick to their stomach. The people here don't even have $100 to spend to neuter their pet so the litters still continue, and these babies don't even have a fighting chance at survival. That's when it dawned on us that this 'spay and neuter clinic' dream we had, needs to become a reality, YESTERDAY. If you could be so amazingly kind today to join our Facebook fundraiser, you could be potentialy saving hundreds of innocent lives that should not be brought into this cruel world. Link is in our bio, we really need all the help we can get!
Update on our Florida sanctuary. Our front fence is finished, it will keep our residents safe and sound. We have met two animal lovers who want to help. Ian and Payne are working sooooo hard getting our barn ready for our babies. These barns are going to be filled with happiness and contentment from now on. We are starting back to California tomorrow to get our first group to bring back. You are all so wonderful to have helped us come this far. We have a long way to go but there will be so many more lives saved. Thank you thank you thank you!. We are still in need of supplies, if you can help in any way, $1.00, $5.00, everything helps. Love ya speak soon!💕 Patreon.com/sanctuaryatsoledad www.thesanctuaryatsoledad.org PayPal me.com/sanctuaryatsoledad Venmo.com/sanctuaryatsoledad
Bucky is getting bigger everyday, and when he's a full grown Angus cow he will be HUGE! - We're letting everyone know again that we will be moving a lot of our animals by the end of May if everything goes according to plan, and Bucky will be one of the animals heading to Florida. - If you've visited us in the past and want to say goodbye to our animals please make sure you visit soon! - We know a lot of animal lovers have grown special bonds with many of our wonderful furry residents and it would be a great time to make your final farewells to them as they will be living out the rest of their lives in a more natural environment with lots of green grass and plenty of room to run around. - Its still a miracle that Bucky is one of the lucky enough to live his life out in peace, rather than to be on someone's plate. - If you want to sponsor Bucky's enormous feed bills when he will be full grown any and all donations can be made through our PayPal: - info@thesanctuaryatsoledad.org - (Sponsoring Bucky before he leaves California is a great way to send him off with lots of love and support!) - To make your last visits to our Sanctuary to say goodbye to animals headed to Florida, please call us at 661-754-5003 to confirm your visit. If we do not answer it's due to all the work we are doing in Florida, please text and let us know when you want to visit.
It is all thanks to you, our fantastic supporters that we were able to purchase our first fencing panels and the men are fixing the fences along the roadside to make sure all of our babies are safe. The more people we talk to we know how much we are needed here. We talked with a woman today who said how many pregnant kitties there are around. She wished someone would help get them spayed. This will be a priority as soon as we get our kids settled. Spoke with a lovely woman yesterday who has been following our sanctuary for a long time, as her friend lives in an area where they dump horses. Really! Thank you again for all of your support, we won’t let you down! Love ya speak soon. Patreon.com/sanctuaryatsoledad www.thesanctuaryatsoledad.org
Pepe is getting really excited for our big move, he's treating all of our old stuff like a jungle gym! - WE NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE OUR BIG MOVE A SUCCESS! - We just want to throw out some numbers of things we will need right when the animals have been brought over, and we’re hoping that everyone can chip in, and help us raise some funds for some necessary equipment. - Front Fence: $2,000- this is the most important part of our new Sanctuary, and helps protect our animals from other intruders as well as curious neighbors who don’t understand what a ‘Sanctuary’ really is. - Pens inside our barn: $114 x 12- these are for our overhanging barn, and this will give us the ability to pen ALL of our animals up each night to offer some protection and give them a comfortable spot to sleep in each night. In Mojave, a lot of our animals didn’t have their own space to sleep. - Panels for the outside of the barn- $26 x 20- this is to secure the outside perimeter of the barn, and finishes the barn setup to fully enclose our animals. - All in all we are looking for approximately $3,500 in donations to complete this build, which gives our animals a home right when they arrive. - Donations up to this point have paid for our transportation costs of gas, maintenance to our truck, and paid for the EXTREMELY pricey vet costs before we were allowed to transport any of our animals. - If you want to help us out you can do so in the following ways: - Venmo: sanctuaryatsoledad - Paypal.me/sanctuaryatsoledad - Sanctuaryatsoledad.org/donate - Or become a monthly sponsor by joining our Patreon, link is in bio.
Find the hidden doggies! Munday and April are hidden in the mud from the hard rains in California. It’s supposed to be rainy in Florida but we only had one day where it rained a bit. Dry and sunny here, but California is certainly getting it’s fair share of wet weather. Just had to share this picture. Love ya speak soon.

Hey there YumYum! He's doing great and acts like the perfect lap donkey! (read the full post please) - As you all know we've been away from the Sanctuary for the past week while our amazing assistant, Jeremy, handles the entire sanctuary by himself. - We are trying to wrap our heads around the entire setup and figuring out where we will start to build new pens for our animals. - As you all know caring for our animals is very expensive, especially with all the new faces we have this year alone. - We will be returning hopefully by the start of next week, and we will begin to move our animals shortly after we return. One of the biggest reasons we are making this move is that a lot of the animals we have aren't naturally designed for the extreme temperatures of the Mojave desert, and would love the humidity and nature that surrounds us in Florida. - Please if you can contribute ANYTHING, we need all the help we can get. - All funds received in the next few weeks will go directly into the construction of our new Sanctuary in Florida. - Whether its monthly support, one-time donation, or sharing this post, your help can get us setup faster and keep our animals safe along this journey. - To support our journey and to show some love for what we do: - patreon.com/sanctuaryatsoledad (link in bio) - Venmo: sanctuaryatsoledad - Paypal: info@sanctuaryatsoledad.org

Thought we would share a goat beauty picture today. #goatsofinstagram - Check out these bangs! Some of us would kill to have hair like this. #hairstyles - Most of you know we are still hanging out in Florida trying to get as setup as we can for some of our animals. - If you aren't supporting us on Patreon, it would be such an amazing show of support. We will be sharing much more content in the weeks to come as we start to create our new home in Florida. - Being able to have support on both ends of the country will really go a long way to giving animals a safe place to live. - The situation here is desperate, and there are many stray dogs wandering around that would love to have a home. - All it takes is $5 to signup (which could be just a snack once a month, or your favorite caffeinated beverage) and this is the perfect way to directly contribute to our expansion efforts. - Please, please, please consider it! We are a very small organization, just Julian and I, with lots of help from our assistant. Jeremy will be parting ways soon, and it will take lots more effort from just the two of us to keep things moving smoothly. - Extra funds would give us the peace of mind to know that we are always safe, and our animals will never see one day of neglect ever again. - To sign up please use the link below: - patreon.com/sanctuaryatsoledad - Your support means the WORLD to us :)
