Sponsor a Special Needs Dog at The Brittany Foundation
The Brittany Foundation houses many special needs dogs at their sanctuary. Most of these dogs are available for adoption, but due to age, medical issues, or emotional issues, it's unlikely that they will be placed. These dogs are expected to spend the remainder of their lives at the sanctuary. Veterinary expenses for these dogs are significantly higher than average. Sponsoring these dogs is a great way to offer direct help to their special needs pups, even if you can't adopt right now. To make a one-time or recurring monthly donation in support of these dogs please visit their website. Visit: http://www.brittanyfoundationonline.org/specialneeds.html

Help The Gentle Barn with Healing & Feeding Animals
Spring has arrived, and it's the most expensive time of the year here at The Gentle Barn! Our 200 rescued animals have everything they need (and more!) all year long, but each spring, we take extra measures to ensure that they stay happy and healthy in the coming season. The sheep need shearing, the llamas need haircuts, the horses and donkeys need dental care and vaccinations, the cows and pigs need hoof trims, the horses and cows need fly and sun protection, everyone needs deworming, and the straw in the barns must be replaced with cool sand. On top of all that, each of our animals still needs the same organic grass hay and organic fruits & veggies that keep them nourished and healthy all year long! If you'd like to help, please visit their website and donate. Visit: https://www.gentlebarn.org/donate/hay
