Lemonade
Lemonade has a soft spot for apples and bananas. He was left to starve in a backyard with dozens of other rabbits. Lemonade and five other rabbits came to Animal Place because they were too “unsocial” for placement. Even though Lemonade started out shy, he welcomes some attention if food is provided in exchange!

Mexican Dog Rescue:
Our Dog Rescue Program helps save the lives of dogs from overcrowded shelters and Mexican canines with no chance of a good life. At Animal Place, these once neglected canines receive food, attention, medical care and a second chance at life. After their temporary stay, the dogs go to different rescue agencies for permanent placement.

Sophie
Sophie is a sweet sheep who had a tough start in life. When she was a day old, she was saved from death by a compassionate stranger. Along with her foster brother, Simon, she had been abandoned. Called a “bummer” lamb, Sophie would not have survived long without intervention. Now, she grazes the hillsides with her sheep kin.

Sebastian
Sebastian is a nub-eared (naturally) goat who loves getting scratches from people. He was the lone survivor of a horrendous neglect case – dozens of sheep and goats were left to starve. Animal Place worked hard to save the tiny goat. Sebastian was a fighter and survived to become a beautiful, healthy adult!

Howie
Howie is a doe-eyed, big brown steer. After his mom died giving birth to him, Howie was left in the “deposit” box at an animal control center. Howie was saved from being a FFA school “project” and came to Animal Place at four days of age. At eleven, he is a social steer who loves knocking wheelbarrows over!

Cecilia
Cecilia is one of 2,000 egg-laying hens Animal Place rescued from a factory farm. She was only a year-and-a-half old when we pulled her from a tiny, metal cage crowded with seven other birds. Her beak had been cut off, which now makes eating food a bit tough. But that doesn’t stop her from enjoying her new life of freedom!

Peggy
Peggy-Sue wasn’t supposed to survive. At only a few days of age, she nearly died from a raging infection. Originally destined for slaughter as part of a 4-H project, one of the students saved her life. Imagine our surprise when Peggy Sue got better and the 4-H teacher wanted her back for slaughter! She soon had to enter the Piggy Protection Program…Peggy Sue isn’t her real name!

Eliza
Eliza loves trilling turkey songs to visitors! She is a “production” turkey saved from a gruesome fate by a kind-hearted rescuer. Though her upper beak has been removed, and the first digits of her toes severed, she doesn’t let that stop her from enjoying life.
