Amelia

Usually it’s women who contact us about animals in need. So when we got an email in October 2018 from a man we were a little surprised. This man asked us to consider adopting a pig his family was fostering. They had been asked to take this “runt” baby pig home to fatten her up. But they soon realized if they returned this pig they now loved to the “petting zoo” type facility…sooner or later she would be slaughtered. The man asked for our help because, in his words, he didn’t want the hearts of his two teenage daughters to break. The family also offered to help pay for the spay surgery, which is very expensive, but absolutely necessary to prevent pregnancy and also uterine tumors later in life. We drove to Northern California to pick up our new little girl and took her straight to the Vet Hospital at University of California Davis. Her surgery went great and when we brought her home her personality began to emerge.

We named her Amelia (after Amelia Earhart) because she is unique and brave and knows her own mind. She is also sweet and friendly and immediately bonded with our two young boy pigs, Winston and Bandit. They are still a bonded mini-family within our pig community. Amelia is a treasured member of our LFAS family and we are very grateful to the Kuhns family for saving her.

Bandit

 We named him Bandit because he steals hearts. He stole ours before we ever laid eyes on him because of the story of his lonely beginning. Bandit was just a baby when he was spotted wandering alone in the burned-out hills following a Southern California wildfire in 2018. He had fended for himself for the first months of his life. When he was finally captured by a Los Angeles County Animal Control Officer, Bandit was emaciated. And yet, he was friendly. We got a phone call about this adolescent pig because he was temporarily housed at a County dog and cat shelter. The staff liked him but they were not going to keep him forever. Farmed animals at County Shelters usually don’t have a lot of time before their situation becomes perilous. Bandit badly needed a forever home so we said yes! From the day we picked Bandit up in our horse trailer he has been easygoing, loving and grateful. We are so glad we became his family. He and his adopted piggy siblings, Amelia and Winston, are devoted to each other and still sleep cuddled together every night. And now Bandit will never be alone again.  

Camilla

A compassionate teenager named Mia (pictured) joined a Future Farmers of America (FFA) animal program at her high school. Her “project” was this adorable piggy we have named Camilla.

Mia told her mother she did not want to complete the FFA animal program because it would mean selling her beloved pig to be sold at the County Fair and then most likely...slaughtered. Her mother immediately started researching how to save her daughter’s little friend.

Kat (Mia's mother) contacted us. We agreed to rescue this piggy to save her life and also to honor Mia’s courage. Mia bravely stood up to peer pressure, and the teachers and administrators in the FFA program, to save the life of her beloved piggy.

On 4/10/22 Bill and I hauled our horse trailer 2 hours to Salinas to pick up Camilla. We needed to take her to UCDavis Vet Hospital for spay surgery. Camilla's wonderful human family helped us load up Camilla. All of us shed some happy tears and then Bill and I continued driving 3 1/2 more hours to UCDavis. Camilla had spay surgery the next day (an absolute necessity for all female pigs) and she recovered beautifully.

Camilla is now living her "best life" at Loving Farm. We introduced her to our little pot belly pig, Gus, and they were instantly smitten! They spend all day romping, napping, and then exploring, and then more napping. We love that they are so happy together. They were snuggle buddies from Day One. Welcome home Camilla! We love you...and Gus does too!

Darwin and Daisy

Darwin and Daisy March 23, 2023 we gave these two Kune Kune siblings a forever home! They were born January 10, 2023.

Their human foster mom (Ashley) did a great job saving their lives when their biological mother couldn’t produce milk for them. But Ashley could not keep them because she is renting her home and her landlord says they can’t live with her permanently. This amazing foster mom reached out to potential adopters for several weeks hoping to find a safe forever home…but to no avail. The only people who responded either wanted to EAT these babies, BREED them, or keep them TEMPORARILY until they got bigger…and the novelty had worn off. 

But then Ashley found LFAS on Instagram and got a “good feeling” about our sanctuary. This young woman had worked tirelessly to do all of the right things. We felt she needed our help. Sometimes we help people who care about animals in need...as much as we help the animals! 

So Ashley drove 10 hours to get the piglets to LFAS and they have been an absolute joy. For the first few weeks they slept in the laundry room in our house but now they are old enough to sleep in a stall in our barn at night. During the day they have their own paddock. They run and play and then they nap. They have a big, happy life at LFAS! We are so glad we rescued Daisy and Darwin...and in a way...Ashley too!

Fiona

Fiona spent the whole first year of her life being tested on in a medical lab. Many people don’t give any thought to the fact that multitudes of non-humans are tested on in the United States. This is cruel, unnecessary, and rarely obtains the information needed to benefit humans. Animal testing should be illegal.

 Fiona is one of the lucky test subjects who was legally released to a safe foster home. Like another of our pigs, Isa, Fiona was fostered by Hannah, The Kitten Lady. When Fiona arrived at Hannah’s foster home she was too scared to come out of the travel crate. She just sat and trembled. But after a few hours Fiona realized nothing bad was going to be done to her and she sprang into action! She ran. She played. She sunbathed. She thrived!

 Fiona came to Loving Farm from foster care in January 2022. From the moment she arrived she has been cheerful and full of life. We are so glad we could offer her the forever home she deserves. Welcome Fiona! You are safe and loved!

Gus

We were “overfull” the summer of 2021 but we took in this little pig for two reasons.

1. He needed us and…

2. Because of the human who impulsively saved this tiny pig (who was being marketed as “meat”) at a feed store.

That compassionate human had felt guilty about a 4H pig she raised 15 years ago. The innocent, defenseless pig that adults forced her into selling...to be slaughtered. Her heart had ached for a long time and she wanted to make up for the loss of her 4H pig. She broke my heart when she started sobbing...SOBBING...on the phone about the years of guilt. So I said yes...this tiny pig could come to us. He would have acres of space to run and play with piggy friends. And he will be loved and protected for his whole life.

She named him GUS but his formal name is “Good Choice Gus” because she said he always made good choices. We usually rescue only “the bigs.” The "farm" pigs. The “commercial” industry pigs who grow to about 500 pounds. But I could not say no to a human whose heart needed so badly to heal. She had suffered long enough.💔

Gus is very happy to be loved and living at Loving Farm. And now he has a piggy girlfriend named Isa! We are very glad we made room for Gus. He loves us and we love him right back!

Isa

Late one night an unidentified woman brought two tiny piglets into a vet clinic and dropped them off. They were only a few hours old. The woman left no information other than she didn’t want them. The piglets were probably from a breeding facility and this woman felt some degree of compassion for them.

The vet clinic contacted an expert in neonatal care…of kittens. But this “angel for animals,” named Hannah, also loves pigs. She did everything possible to save both tiny babies but, sadly, the boy did not survive.

The girl piglet Hannah named Isa and she thrived under Hannah's care. Isa is a Yorkshire pig so when Hannah realized this pink piglet was someday going to weigh about 500 pounds she contacted us. We “specialize” in and adore the “bigs.” We said yes because at the time we had space so we were happy to give Isa the forever home she deserves. 

Isa is now integrated with our smallest pig, Gus. They are devoted to each other and spend every minute of the day together. Isa continues to grow, and Gus will stay fairly small, but they don’t care about a size difference. We are super happy these two piggies will get to stay together for life and they are thrilled to be living their best lives! Sometime soon we plan to integrate Fiona with them too. Stay tuned! Pictured: Isa as a baby and Isa at 4 months of age.

Lea and Lexi

Adopted January 26, 2023!

Lea and Lexi are pot belly sisters whose pregnant mother was rescued by animal activists (just in time) from a high kill shelter. They were born in April 2022 and lived their first months in safety at a wonderful farmed animal sanctuary in Southern California. But that sanctuary, because of overcrowding, needed to find them forever homes.

When we learned that one of these darling piggies is deaf we knew that Loving Farm is the right forever home for her. And since she is very bonded with one of her sisters we adopted both!

Lexi is our hearing impaired little girl. She and Lea are completely devoted to each other and always together. Surprisingly, Lexi is the braver of the two girls and the leader! Both of them are friendly, curious, and adorable. We are so glad we could give them a life of safety where they will always be together.

We adopted Lea and Lexi even though we normally specialize in the big pigs, the farm pigs, aka commercial pigs. We have 15 “bigs” but we also have one adult pot belly named Gus. Adding Lea and Lexi to our LFAS family has been good for Gus. We can see he loves hanging out with 2 piggies who make him feel he is big!

It's important to be aware that lots of pigs end up in shelters but they are still not safe. Their time in shelters can be very short and they are still at high risk of euthanasia. Most open admission shelters are overfull and they are set up to house dogs and cats…not pigs. Please don't ever support pig breeders by buying from them. If you want to adopt a pig first do your research about their needs and whether or not your city and county allow pigs. Then, as with all animals...adopt don't shop!

Luna

Sometimes a human being is a true hero for an animal. Luna was saved by a teenage hero named Catherine who was in the FFA (Future Farmers of America) program at a public high school in Los Angeles County. Catherine and her family contacted us because they had pulled Luna out of the FFA animal program to save her life.

FFA claims to teach young people positive ideas. In fact, in their animal programs, they teach kids to pay for an animal and to raise and bond with that animal. Sounds great right? Except, in the end, the kids must take that animal to a County Fair to be sold and probably slaughtered. As you can imagine, some kids are traumatized as the date gets closer to their animal friends being killed. Catherine was one of the kids who stood up to the teachers and FFA and was willing to do anything to save Luna’s life.

Note: This is the FFA mission statement taken from their website:

“FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.”

At Loving Farm we don’t consider animals to be “agricultural products.” Animals are our friends, and our family, not “agriculture.”

Luna has been safe at Loving Farm since July 2019. She was only about 6 months old when she was saved by Catherine. Luna was just a baby! Now she lives the way we wish all pigs could live…loved, eating healthy food, and exploring lots of safe fenced acres with her pig buddies. Luna also has human parents (Tracey and Bill) who will do anything to protect her.

To us, the definition of agriculture is (or it should be) plant crops…not animal “crops.” If organizations such as FFA would teach their students and participants optimal ways to grow fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and grains there would be enough food for all humans. By growing “animal crops,” (who need to be fed plant crops) we are creating a middle category that is destroying our planet and making a lot of people sick and leaving a lot of people hungry. Going vegan will save many, many lives!

Read more about Luna’s story from the young woman who’s life was changed by an FFA pig.

Vincent

This is VINCENT. We chose this name for this kind hearted boy because it means VICTORIOUS! Vincent was victorious because he defeated the fate that was planned for him by Future Farmers of America. Vincent will NOT be slaughtered.

This sweet and gentle pig got very lucky because the teenager who was responsible for him (in the FFA program) loved him and saved him. Truly SAVED him! She asked us to adopt him into our LFAS forever family before he could be sold at the County Fair in the summer of 2021. Note: Most (if not all) of the farmed animals at County Fairs will be sold and go to slaughter as soon as the fairs end. Vincent's teenage caretaker stood up to peer pressure and forfeited the money she would have been paid for Vincent's life. She is brave and kind and we are very grateful to her!

At Loving Farm Vincent gets to snuggle with his piggy buddies day and night. He has a comfy indoor stall at night, and during the day, he gets to run and play on dirt and grass under shady oak trees. When we first met Vincent he was confined alone in a concrete FFA “jail cell” lying in his own waste. Now he is happy and thriving at Loving Farm! Welcome home Vincent!

Zachary

The Summer of 2019, Zachary wandered out of the bushes and onto a horse farm about a one hour drive from us. He was just a baby...maybe 6 months old. That’s the age pigs in 4H and FFA (Future Farmers of America) programs go to the County Fairs and most of them are forced onto slaughter trucks at the end of the fair. We suspect Zachary was either abandoned after the Santa Barbara County Fair or he escaped. Either way no one came looking for him.

We were contacted by a kind mother and daughter (named Concetta and Moorea) who knew Zachary was in a precarious location and could still be slaughtered. They overheard the people at the horse farm “joking” about eating him! So Bill and I hooked up our horse trailer and went to get this friendly, sweet boy. After Zachary was quarantined (we keep new adoptees separate from their own species for 30 days) he bonded quickly with our new girl pig, Luna. Luna was the same age and she was saved from FFA before she could be slaughtered. Zachary and Luna are still the cutest couple. They are inseparable even though they happily hang out all day with our other pigs.

We hope Animal Ambassadors like Zachary will help people “open their hearts to compassion” and the breeding and eating of animals will become a thing of the past very soon.

Zumi

A very kind family took in a one week old "farm" pig to save his life. This was a compassionate but somewhat impulsive rescue.

But then they did all of the right things. They got him settled in their home and yard. They got him neutered because that is vitally important and (unfortunately) very few pig “owners” spay and neuter their pigs. They loved him and spent time with him. They took very good care of him. They truly thought of him as a member of their family…just like their dogs and cats.

They gave him the name ZUMI (pronounced Zoomie) because he loved zooming around their yard with their dogs.

But he got bigger and he got noisy (making happy noises) and the neighbors started complaining. The family became afraid their beloved pig would be confiscated by the authorities. So, heartbroken, the family contacted every farmed animal sanctuary they could find...including us. For two months we told them “we are at capacity” and “we do not have it in our budget.” Note: Lifetime care for a pig can be $10,000 to $20,000 depending on how many years he/she lives.

This human family then did more things right. They joined our LFAS Monthly Member Program. They committed to regular volunteer shifts. (Happily, they live in our county.) They never gave up. They persisted in asking us to take in Zumi. And...they stayed nice about it.

We are very glad we brought Zumi to his forever home. He is a sweet and funny guy who makes us smile every day. And, because of Zumi, we have gained a wonderful family who continues to volunteer because they love Zumi and they want him to stay in their lives. We are very happy for all of us!

The Leghorns

Leghorn chickens are hilarious. They are very busy. They are always happy. They have lots of activities like dust bathing, pecking in the grass and dirt, running and playing, lying in the sun, napping in their nesting boxes. We are enchanted by everything these unique little individuals do.

Sadly, over the years we have lost several of our leghorn family members to reproductive issues that are common in egg-laying breeds like Leghorns. Because they are bred to lay way more eggs than their bodies can handle, they often die young from reproductive cancers, egg-yolk peritonitis, egg binding, and inflammation of the oviduct. We take our girls to the vet at the first sign of illness, but often they die without warning. Even so, they usually had many months, and sometimes years, of freedom and happiness with us at Loving Farm. That makes our hearts soar. Rest in peace sweet girls we have lost, you were so very loved, and we miss you every day.

Currently, we only have one Leghorn. Her name is Matilda. She is very happy with our red hens and our rooster, Francisco. Matilda truly lives in the moment and delights in being alive. Each day she is with us we consider to be a wonderful gift.

The best way to help egg hens is by not eating eggs. We hope more people will “open their hearts to compassion” when it comes to chickens. Chickens are some of the most exploited and mistreated animals on Earth.

Note: We are currently not bringing in more birds until the Avian Bird Flu is no longer a threat in California. We are seeking a new location for our sanctuary, and will be building roofed and secure bird habitats at that location, but for now we are not adopting in new birds. We love chickens and turkeys and we hope we can re-open our intake of birds soon.

FERNANDA

We adopted 5 turkeys shortly after Thanksgiving of 2018. They were part of a large rescue in Utah where a slaughterhouse relinquished 100 of their turkeys (destined to be Thanksgiving dinners) to activists as a gesture of good will. Did you know an estimated 46 million turkeys are killed each year in the United States just for Thanksgiving alone? That horrifically large number does not even count the turkeys killed year-round for human consumption.

Sadly, we have lost 4 of our turkey girls from this original group but Fernanda is happy and healthy. Fernanda never needs to worry about being intentionally harmed. She can run and play in a large paddock during the day and at night she has a safe and cozy house that is predator-proof.

Fernanda is very friendly and she loves to follow us around and sit on our laps. We wish more people would see turkeys as intelligent, loving, and curious individuals who deserve respect and protection. Please eat plants…not turkeys!

Fernanda now has 2 younger turkeys living here with her. Their names are Paulina and Pearl. You can read about them below.

Note: We are currently not bringing in more birds until the Avian Bird Flu is no longer a threat in California. We are seeking a new location for our sanctuary, and will be building roofed and secure bird habitats at that location, but for now we are not adopting in new birds. We love chickens and turkeys and we hope we can re-open our intake of birds soon.

Paulina and Pearl

On March 31, 2022 we brought 3 precious (10 1/2 week old) baby turkeys home to Loving Farm to live “happily ever after!” They had been rescued by another sanctuary from a factory farm. At the factory farm they would have suffered every day and then been slaughtered at a few months of age.

We named the new girls Paulina, Pearl and Penelope. Sadly, we have lost Penelope but Paulina and Pearl love their life at Loving Farm! They have bonded with our older turkey, Fernanda. During the day they get to run and explore and eat delicious food. At night they have a secure cozy house to keep them safe from coyotes and other predators.

But their favorite activity (besides eating) is following humans around. Turkeys are very similar to dogs...they are affectionate and they want to be around people...well...nice people who don't want to eat them!

Note: We are currently not bringing in more birds until the Avian Bird Flu is no longer a threat in California. We are seeking a new location for our sanctuary, and will be building roofed and secure bird habitats at that location, but for now we are not adopting in new birds. We love chickens and turkeys and we hope we can re-open our intake of birds soon.

Faith and Joy

Adopted May 12, 2019

On Mother’s Day 2019, we brought Faith and Joy to their forever home at Loving Farm. It made an extra special Mother’s Day because these two cuties are biological mother and daughter. Faith (mother) and Joy (2 months old at the time) had been released into the Los Angeles County Shelter system. An Animal Control Officer had responded to a cruelty call because the sheep breeder did not want to get Faith much needed medical care after giving birth to Joy. (She has made a full recovery!) Farmed animals in the shelter system often don’t get enough time to find safe homes before they are euthanized…or worse. We were overjoyed to have room at our sanctuary, and in our budget, to welcome Faith and Joy to our family. These girls have brought us so much pleasure…just by being themselves. They are gentle and sweet and are always amusing us with their jumping and playing. Faith and Joy are “hair sheep” so they naturally shed their coats every spring. Note: Hair sheep are bred to become “meat” so we are very glad we could save them from that fate! Faith and Joy sleep snuggled together in their stall at night to be safe from predators. During the day they go out into our big paddocks where they graze and play with our two wool sheep and two goats. They also have 5 turkey friends and our 2 horses to keep them company. We are happily providing a peaceful haven for everybody!

 Abby

In the summer of 2012 we lived in South Carolina. We got a call from our neighbors who owned a big polo farm next to us. They were out of state and asked us to look around their farm for a stray puppy that someone had spotted. Sure enough, out of the bushes bounded a tiny, flea infested, tick covered, happy little ball of fur. She was ecstatic to see us that day and that has never changed. The puppy was such a mess we didn’t want to put her in our car so Bill carried her in his arms back to our farm. Once we bathed her and called our vet for an appointment we knew this puppy was going to stay with us forever. Clearly, someone had dumped this little angel—which was all too common in South Carolina. Our vet checked for a microchip (none) and found the puppy had been terribly neglected and was literally full of worms. We named her Abigail…Abby for short. Abby has always had a very outgoing, sunny personality. She gets along with everyone—people, dogs, cats, farmed animals—literally everybody. She loves to run and play on the farm or the off-leash dog beach. She also loves to ride in our car or truck and our farm equipment. I call her my “Co-Pilot” because as soon as I say “Want to go for ride?” Abby leaps into whatever vehicle we are standing near. We will never know who dumped Abby by the side of a road in South Carolina, but we are grateful. Abby has brought us so much joy and we are so happy we could give her a forever home.

 Joey

Joey was a homeless puppy trying to survive on the streets of La Paz, Mexico. We have never before adopted a dog from another country but Joey's story really got to us.

Joey was picked up by a wonderful dog rescue called Baja Street Dogs. This organization gathers up stray dogs, gets them vaccinated, spayed and neutered, lovingly socializes them and then looks for forever homes...usually in the United States. We saw Joey's picture posted by a rescue called Little Trooper Ranch in Sonoma County, California, run by a good friend of ours named Odessa. Well...Joey's big ears (and "old soul" eyes) really grabbed our attention and that was that! We knew this sweet baby was going to join our family.

We named her Joey because her ears reminded us of a baby kangaroo! She is now about a year old. She is remarkably intelligent, and very clever, but also wants to please. Joey is our only dog who is not a senior so she keeps our other three dogs active! As soon as our vet told us Joey was old enough we transitioned her to being vegan. She is healthy, happy, and adored. We are so glad she was saved from a short life filled with misery living on the streets. She's definitely a lucky girl and we are lucky to be her family!

Frog

In July of 2022 a tiny barely alive scrap of fuzz was found by 2 wonderful guys (named Randy and Tom) from the sound crew of a rock band. They contacted us, and begged us, to take her in because the band was appearing in Canada soon…so they couldn’t take her with them. 

She was so tiny and emaciated our vet estimated she was only 4 weeks old. She weighed less than a pound and her eye was so infected we thought she would need to have it surgically removed. But our fantastic vets saved her life and her eye! She is now a big, fluffy, sweet natured feline member of our family. We named her Frog and nicknamed her Froggy.

Froggy loves her life with her “chosen" brother Toad (his story is above) and our Hana Kitty has become Frog's adoring adopted mother. We love giving animals the opportunity to form friendships and families. It’s so important for their health and well-being.😻😻😻

Froggy got very lucky because two very kind men saved her when most people would have turned away. Millions of stray cats will never feel safe or loved. Stray cats are everywhere. It’s a huge, heartbreaking problem. Please help them and/or adopt shelter cats, or foster, volunteer, donate, or get involved with your local TNR (trap neuter release) program.

Froggy says thank you!

Hana and Maui

We adopted these darling feral kittens in November 2019 because they were at high risk of euthanasia at our local shelter. We were told they had no health issues. We gave them beautiful tropical names from a beautiful tropical island...Maui and Hana. When we took them to our own vet one of them tested positive for FELV (feline leukemia virus) This diagnosis took our breath away because FELV is sometimes thought of as a “ death sentence” and highly contagious to other cats. But, our wonderful vet gave us lots of accurate information and as a precaution we got all of our other cats vaccinated against FELV. We then did an additional blood test which told us our FELV kitty (Hana) had the LEAST contagious FELV and she might NEVER become symptomatic. Great news!

Coincidentally, around the same time, I had planned to go on a “working visit” to meet with our mentors at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah. They have an entire building and “catio” dedicated to their much loved 40+ FELV cats. They have staff and volunteers who are devoted to FELV cats and they have studied FELV for years. Their advice: 1. Feed good quality food 2. Give Lysine as a supplement. 3. Always provide clean fresh water to keep them hydrated. 4. Provide a low stress environment 5. Love them, love them, and love them more. So that’s easy! This surprise FELV diagnosis was a shock but now we know more about cats than we ever imagined so that’s GOOD!

We chose to face the future with realism…but also optimism! And then a MIRACLE happened! We had Hana re-tested for FELV and she tested negative! She has been healthy ever since and she and Maui are thriving! Hana and Maui are beloved members of our family and we hope they will be with us for many, many years!

Sammy

A Good Samaritan found Sammy by the side of a road. His jaw was broken and hanging to the side. He had probably been hit by a car. It was the summer of 2018. Luckily for this tiny kitten he was taken to our local vet clinic. They got him healthy and his jaw healed beautifully. We had recently lost our two most senior cats, Eddie and Norman, so at the time we only had one cat, Gracie. One cat! How could this be?!? Usually we adopt adult cats (and dogs) but when we met little Sammy it was kismet. We felt such a connection to this kitten who had survived and thrived against such odds. So we adopted him and brought him home.

But very soon Sammy began to show signs of illness. After many tests and trips back to the vet Sammy was diagnosed with toxoplasmosis. Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, which can be found in garden soil and raw meat. Because Sammy had been a stray he had probably fended for himself and eaten whatever he could find. Sammy was lethargic and not eating and we were concerned we might lose him. After everything he had been through and now this! But our vet got Sammy on the right medications and he bounced back quickly. Sammy had a vey rough first year so we are especially grateful he is now a big, strong, super friendly and hilarious member of our family. He loves his life with us and we love him! 

Toad

We adopted this "mini panther" from Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in July 2022. They gave him a weird and wonderful name…it’s Toad! Toad is such a unique and hilarious name (just like him) that we kept it! He has become the best buddy of our kitty named Frog. Toad and Frog...together forever!

Bill and I normally have at least one black cat in our LFAS family but it's been awhile since our last precious black kitty, Norman, died. We believe in adopting black cats (and dogs) because they are the ones most often overlooked in shelters. So Toad's timing was perfect. We needed some happy in our lives and Toad was doing everything he could to supply it! He literally attached himself to Tracey at the Best Friends Welcome Center and that was that! Toad was coming to Loving Farm.

Please consider adopting a cat or dog from a shelter or rescue. Many furry friends need forever homes and the black ones are often the ones who wait the longest! Toad says yes please! Black cats are awesome!
