At Rain Tees we are clearly passionate about animals, so being able to take a quick trip north of Los Angeles to visit Animal Acres rescue sanctuary made a breezy Saturday in late May extra special.
Animal Acres rescues farmed animals and also offers public education tours and outreach advocacy projects to prevent cruelty to farmed animals.
Since its opening in 2005, thousands of people have visited the sanctuary and learned that farmed animals need protection, and love, too. Some of the stories are truly heartbreaking. Horses found neglected and starving, rescued turkeys that can barely walk after being fed too many hormones in preparation for slaughter, and baby cows rescued after they have fallen off slaughter trucks on busy highways.
We visited with cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, sheep, goats, and even a divine little goose named Einstein while there and Rain Tees founder, Beth Doane (pictured above), fell in love with a gentle rescued donkey.
To learn more about the amazing work of this beautiful charity visit Animal Acres.
