At Charlie’s Acres, our volunteers are the heart of everything we do! It's thanks to them that we are able to care for so many animals and provide them with clean homes, nutrition, and enrichment. ⁠We couldn't provide the high-quality care without our dedicated volunteers, and there’s no better time than the start of a new year to get involved.⁠
⁠
If you’re looking to make a real difference in the lives of rescued farmed animals, we’d love to welcome you to our volunteer team.⁠

It is World Plant Milk Day, so we wanted to share that cows, like humans, only produce milk when they’re pregnant or nursing. Sadly, on dairy farms, mother cows are routinely bred and then separated from their calves shortly after giving birth. ⁠
⁠
Listen to Juno and enjoy plant-based milk instead. There is no shortage of options; we have milks made from Oats, Soy, Almonds, Rice, Cashews, Coconut, Flaxseeds, Potato, and Peas. All of which are made for and by humans. ⁠

These kids are the first and only animals born at the sanctuary because we rescued their mom after she had been abandoned while pregnant. We had the privilege of watching them born and grow up in the safety of our sanctuary. How many pigs get to say that? That is why we like to make it an extra special day for them.⁠
⁠
So help us in wishing this little pig family a very happy 5th birthday along with many more birthdays to come.⁠
Thank you.⁠
⁠
PS. You can visit this family by booking a tour of the sanctuary. Go to the link in the bio or to charliesacres.org/visit to book your own tour today. ⁠

Fun Fact: Pigs don't just use their noses to smell, they also use them to show affection. Pigs touch snouts against each other to say hello, identify each other, and even calm each other down when feeling stressed. Just like how Victor and Gilbert, are touching snouts to make each other feel better. They definitely know the meaning of brotherly love. ⁠
⁠
PS. These two boys, along with their brother Nicholas, are available for sponsorship. Sponsorships at Charlie's Acres help support the lifelong care of our animal residents while also providing great benefits to sponsors.⁠

Join us in celebrating 10 years of rescue, compassion, and community at our Fancy Farmraiser Benefit & Auction on September 19, 2026.⁠
⁠
Animal rescue and foster care are at the heart of everything we do. In 2022, we celebrated the first birthday of piglets born at the sanctuary after we rescued their pregnant mother, Gretel. Charlie's Acres provides lifelong care for approximately 150 rescued farmed animals while expanding our foster program to help even more animals find safety, healing, and hope.⁠
⁠
Every ticket makes a difference. Proceeds from the Fancy Farmraiser directly support the lifelong care of our animal residents, future rescues, emergency response efforts, and humane education programs that inspire compassion for all animals.⁠

With so many animal residents to feed it takes time to make sure every single group gets their three square meals a day. Sometimes we run a little behind and when we do the residents' voice their frustrations. ⁠
⁠
Let us know in the comments if you have animals in your life that make it hard to forget feeding time. ⁠
