There are hundreds of farm sanctuaries across the country doing fantastic work, and who have the infrastructure in place to take on more residents but who, at times, lack the funding needed to bring in new residents. We think there’s an incredible opportunity to combine the fundraising work of Loveland with the operations of these existing sanctuaries to roll out a collective effort to bring more animals out of harm’s way and into a safe environment.
On July 14th, we kicked off our summer fundraising efforts with a big splash. Our inaugural Party in The Park event was a family-friendly day in the sun at the Silverado District Regional Park in Silverado, CA and it was a major success all around!
Welcome to 2018 - it's a new year and a fresh beginning for everyone, including LFS as we set out to achieve some important goals over the next 12 months. But first, let's take a look at the high-level results of 2017 and what we were able to achieve last year together – with your help.
Behind dogs and cats, bunnies are the third most popular animal in the US pet industry. This also means they are the third most abandoned. It’s hard to quantify the exact number of bunnies that are abandoned annually, but The Huffington Post claims a whopping 80% of the ones up for adoption in shelters were once purchased for Easter gifts.
Wowza! Have we told you lately that we have the BEST supporters ever?! How incredible are the people that turn up time and time again to support our cause like this?!? What started as a little arts and crafts project to see if anyone would maybe like a handmade sign in exchange for a donation to a nonprofit with no animals but a very big dream has shaped itself into something that people actually like and are willing to take home and show off!
It is with great sincerity I extend my gratitude to those in attendance at our Fall Gala earlier this month. After having a chance to sit and reflect on the magic of such a special evening, I'm overwhelmed by the generosity and the continuous support that the community has shown our organization over the last couple of years.
What an honor! Amy Katz, blogger of veggiessavetheday.com and contributor for Chic Vegan, has eloquently written a story about our efforts to start Loveland Farm Sanctuary through the Sign Up for Love project. I can't thank you enough Amy, for such a wonderful article and for helping spread the word!
