When you do something awesome, your confidence goes through the roof. You can’t help but smile, stand a little taller, puff your chest out a little bit further…and as it turns out, our pups are exactly the same! Whether they just brought a ball back really efficiently or sorted the garbage into important piles, these […]
Most people are under the impression that farm animals aren’t as cuddly or emotional as our house pets. But those who work and volunteer on farms know that couldn’t be further from the truth. Take Bhima. He’s a 1,500-pound ox who was rescued by SASHA Farm. Each animal at the sanctuary has a sad story […]

There’s a reason that puppies aren’t fully weaned from their mother until they’re between seven and eight weeks old.
