🖤 GET INKED.
HELP ANIMALS. 🖤

Looking for a meaningful way to treat yourself next weekend?

Join us on Saturday, June 20, from 12:00 PM–6:00 PM at Sweat & Tears Tattoo in Cranberry Township for a special Flash Tattoo Fundraiser benefiting Hope Haven Farm Sanctuary!

A portion of every tattoo purchased during the event will help provide food, shelter, and veterinary care for our rescued farm animals. Every tattoo tells a story—and these help give animals a second chance.

✨ First come, first served
✨ Flash tattoos only
✨ Support local artists and rescued animals at the same time.

We are so grateful to Kaitlyn at Sweat & Tears Tattoo for choosing to support our sanctuary and the animals who call Hope Haven home.

Tag a friend who loves tattoos and animals! 🐷🐐🐑🐔❤️

Such a fun, heart-filling day at Kindred Spirits Rescue Ranch 🥰

Every single animal we met had the most hilarious, spoiled, and lovable personality - you can truly feel how much they're cared tor. This is more than a rescue, it's a place built on pure love!

I was incredibly touched being there today. The people behind this ranch pour their hearts, souls, and every single hour of their day into giving these animals the life they deserve 🩷 So grateful we got to experience it!

Who should we come visit next?

Such a great resource to have ♥️ Thank you for all that you do!

🦉This weather is incredibly hard on wildlife🦇Call us at 814-414-4224 if you encounter wildlife having a hard time!

With the extreme cold and unpredictable conditions, many animals are struggling to survive—especially screech owls, hawks, bats, and opossums. These species may seek shelter in garages, sheds, barns, or even homes simply because they are desperate for warmth and safety.

If you find a wild animal sheltering in or around your home, please don’t just put them back outside. Exposure in these weather conditions can be life-threatening to animals that may already be injured, exhausted, or hypothermic.

Please call us instead! Our volunteers can assess the situation and help safely get the animal to a licensed wildlife rehabilitator if needed.

Leaving an animal to “figure it out” in this weather can mean the difference between life and death. One call can save a life.

Thank you for caring and for being a voice for Pennsylvania’s wildlife💚

This Giving Tuesday, please remember the rescues who show up when no one else will. And honestly? These rescues are drowning.

They take in the animals people give up on — the scared ones, the sick ones, the forgotten ones. They love them back to life, but the truth is… it’s HARD — Emotionally, financially, and physically. Bills don’t stop coming. Food, meds, surgeries, supplies… it all adds up fast. And here’s the part most people don’t realize:
The wonderful people running these rescues still have day jobs, bills, families, and everyday responsibilities just like everyone else!

If every person gave just a few dollars, it would change everything. Please support your local rescues — they're fighting for every single animal that needs a second chance. 🐾💛
