As you know, Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary, is an organization close to my heart for all the work they do rescuing abused and neglected farmed animals.  These animals come from all sorts of horrible situations but are the lucky ones who get to live out their lives on this 400 acre sanctuary in peace with the best of care and love.  Volunteering every other Sunday almost seven years now and spending time with this incredible individuals  is one of the highlights of my life.  I get to spend time with the loving cows, goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, turkeys, duck and more as I clean stalls and pastures.  These animals are full of personality just like the dogs and cats with whom we share our homes.  

The photo is me and Scooter, who was rescued from petting farm in Virginia when he got to be too big and was being sent to slaughter.  Despite his rough start in life, he is a friendly boy who knows he will get lots of love and belly rubs when he sees me.  He knows his name and comes when called!   

I am participating in Poplar's Run for the Animals again this year to help raise vital funds for Poplar Spring’s life saving work. I’m hoping you would be willing to sponsor me this year! Your donation is tax deductible and ANY amount is appreciated!
