Gentle Barn or Bust!



Sunday night Tess came by with an enormous truckload of comforters and blankets she and other Pasadena Humane Society volunteers collected for the Lancaster dogs! I could barely wait until morning to deliver them knowing these poor dogs were still enduring the freezing high desert temperatures. Monday morning we packed up all the donated supplies in Holly's folks' Escalade. And I do mean PACKED! That thing was crammed solid!



It was such a nice drive up to the still funky/rural part of Santa Clarita to our destination, The Gentle Barn. It was chilling to see how close the recent fire had come to destroying their property - the entire mountain ridge was still charred all the way down to just outside their back arena. Yikes!

Aldo, the foreman showed us around and we got to meet the newly arrived pigs, emu and llama - all taken from the same hoarder.



There are still more than 100 dogs still needing foster and forever homes.
Please
take a look at this link to see some of these soulful, deserving dogs and the terrific volunteers who spent their weekend trying to make them more comfortable.

Dogloos are still desperately needed
- please contact me ASAP if you can donate one!
