COUNTRY CRITTERS IN THE CITY NEED HELP
Over 100 severely neglected farmed animals need
food, shelter, veterinary care, and YOU.
Approximately 100 goats, chickens, turkeys, pigs,
an emu, llama, and one pregnant horse ---along with
over 185 dogs--- were abandoned at a farm without
shelter, water, or food. Working with L.A. County
Animal Regulation & Control, area dog rescue
organizations and other sanctuaries, Animal Acres
rescue staff and volunteers have been working to
remove suffering animals from the property, and
provide food and care for animals still left behind.
Animal Acres rescuers on the scene found dead dogs
in wheelbarrows, and the farmed animals did not have
any food or water . One of the pigs could not stand
because his hooves were severely overgrown. Most of
the sheep and goats have upper respiratory ailments,
pink eye, and mange. Two of the sheep are blind in
one eye, and all of the sheep and goats have eye
infections. The animals were forced to live in
filthy puddles and dirt in 30 degree temperatures
without any protection from wind or rain. The stench
was horrific.
The Animal Acres sanctuary is now providing
emergency rescue care for 38 sheep and goats, 32
chickens and turkeys, and is working to find
temporary or permanent placement for 46 ducks and
geese. L.A. County Animal Services informed us
they did not have shelter for the farmed animals and
Animal Acres assistance was critical for this rescue
-- BUT WE DO NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT HOUSING SPACE OR
FUNDING TO PROVIDE EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE FOR ALL OF
THE FARMED ANIMALS. PLEASE, help us come to the
aid of Los Angeles' country critters. You can help
by:
1. ADOPTING OR HELPING FIND ADOPTIVE HOMES FOR
DUCKS, GEESE, GOATS, AND SHEEP
Homes are urgently needed for the ducks and geese
that remain at the property, and we only have
temporary housing for the sheep and goats. We must
find permanent placement for these animals. If you
or someone you know can provide a loving home for
ducks, geese, sheep, or goats, please call
661-269-5404 or email: info@animalacres.org
2. VOLUNTEERING TO CARE FOR THE ANIMALS
As a volunteer based organization, we depend on
dedicated volunteers to help us with large cruelty
cases. The rescued animals need to receive health
care (treatments, hoof trimmings, etc) and be fed,
watered, and cleaned every day. PLEASE help us care
for these animals by volunteering at our shelter.
Volunteers need to arrive by 11 a.m . (and can
volunteer as as early as 8 a.m.) and commit to a
three hour caregiving shift.
3. DONATING TO THE EMERGENCY RESCUE FUND
We are in need of funding for feed, veterinary
treatments, and neutering costs (ten of the male
goats must also be neutered.) Your donation TODAY to
the Animal Acres EMERGENCY RESCUE FUND is vital for
us to continue this lifesaving rescue. Please visit
http://animalacres.org/donate.html to make an ER
FUND donation today. Thank YOU.
Animal Acres is a Los Angeles farmed animal
sanctuary and compassionate living center directed
by Farm Sanctuary co-founder Lorri Bauston. Thank
you for your support.
