Katherine shared stories of the Sanctuary's residents: twin Highland Heifers and their brother, huge hogs, drunken pigs. She said that they have no chickens because they have hunting dogs. The non-profit is providing a place to heal, learn and give back for individuals throughout the St. Croix Valley. The organization cost about $18,000 a year for animal feed and some veterinary bills. It is financed with monthly sponsorships for each animal for which the donor gets a picture and the

Katherine invited the Rotarians to follow the organization on Facebook and subscribe to their newsletter.
