Animal Sanctuary Workday

On the heels of the sentencing of Wayne Hsiung for actions pertaining to the rescue of animals in Sonoma County, it is more important than ever to connect with the animals that we work so hard to liberate. What better way to do this than returning to one of our favorite sanctuaries, Jolene's Retreat! During our December workday, we will give a hand to the wonderful sanctuary located in beautiful Occidental, CA. Founded and operated by Kathy Cullen, the residents include an amazing family of pigs. Learn more about how this family was rescued and grew by attending this event! We encourage carpooling as much as possible so reach out if you need a ride or can offer a ride. Contact Carla at carla@dxe.io We will gather and go over tasks at 10am so please be on time. Food/snacks will be provided but feel free to bring your own food. Make sure to have a water bottle to keep with you as you work. We will help with chores around the sanctuary. Please wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty, jeans are best, work boots or strong shoes (no open toed shoes), and gloves (there will be gloves provided if you do not have your own). There will be a mandatory waiver to sign when you arrive. Spending time with the animals we are fighting for is not only good for your mental health and well being but it reinforces our commitment to the cause.
