Greetings to all of you,
Spring has finally arrived, after a long and cold winter. Our sanctuary had lots of snow and it was the first winter in which all of our burros were able to use their new metal barns, protecting them from the strong winds, snow and rain. The burros thank you for your donations, without your support there would be no barns.
Our sanctuary is located on 130 acres in the High Sierras. We are happy to have such a large place for our burros, horses, dogs, cats and for all our wildlife.
At this time, we continue to work on our irrigation system. Constructing this system on a terrain which is full of rocks and boulders is a challenge, as 130 acres is a large placed to irrigate, not to mention the financial depletion this system has cost us. We had no choice but to hire outside help to be able to complete the project thus far.
Our last hay delivery we received on credit from our hay supplier, and soon we will need more. Our monthly hay bill is around $4500, but with a functioning irrigation system we would be able to reduce our cost. We would be able to grow native vegetation for our burros and horses to graze on, as they love to eat fresh plants. They know fresh food is healthy!
This is now our official SPRING FUND DRIVE. Please support us. We depend on your generosity, without your help we are unable to exist. Presently, the only safe place for our animals is this sanctuary. There is no other place for them to live. We have hope that one day our wild burros and horses can go back and live on the land, which is rightfully theirs but until this day's upon us, we have to take care of them.
In spite of all our challenges, our sanctuary is a place of peace and tranquility. Come and visit us, you will have a great time. Bring your camera and a big sack of carrots and feed the burros and horses. You will go home with tons of great pictures and memories.
while you are in our neighborhood there are lots of interesting things to do and places to visit. Go to our "favorite links" page for lots of ideas.
Your support for our sanctuary is greatly appreciated!
Best regards,
Diana Chontos
