This Giving Tuesday, letβs join forces to support animals on land and sea. Farmed animal sanctuaries in Western North Carolina and Florida, as well as marine conservation efforts, need us now more than ever.
And after Hurricane Heleneβs extreme devastation in the NC mountains, our support is needed now more than ever - both for the animals and their human caregivers.
Together, we can help these sanctuaries get back on their feet, ensuring that each animal receives the love and care they deserve. πΎπ

North Carolina Farm Animal Sanctuaries in Need

Farmshire Animal Sanctuary
In North Carolina, sanctuaries like Farmshire Animal Sanctuary, Wild Heart Farm & Sanctuary, Luna Sea Sanctuary, and Animal Haven of Asheville provide safe havens for rescued farmed animals. They have faced unexpected challenges from Hurricane Helene such as storm damage and increased operational costs.
And now with temperatures dropping to the low 20βs, they could really use our help.
Sanctuaries are dependent on donations and on Giving Tuesday, donations are matched which makes it a perfect time to give.
Another two of my North Carolina favorite sanctuaries are Ziggyβs Refuge and Sisu.
Ziggyβs was the first to step up to help right after the hurricane so your donations to them will go a long way.
Your donations can help provide food, medical care, and shelter for these animals (and their humans in WNC), ensuring they continue to thrive in environments filled with love and compassion.
