Labor of Love 2020
With the surge in COVID cases in Wisconsin, at this time we are not able to consider our annual Labor of Love for 2020 and are planning our 2021 event. We are deeply saddened by this, as this event is by far the largest event of our Volunteer season. We are still accepting individual weekend volunteer events up to 4 people with advance planning. If you would like to plan a special volunteer weekend for up to 4 people, please reach out to us via email at "helpingpigs@sonnyboyanimalsanctuary.org". Thank you!

A message from our Executive Director: “My concerns with this pandemic center around the residents at SonnyBoy Animal Sanctuary and other rescues and sanctuaries in the USA. The near future is uncertain with availability of food sources for our specific needs. As many other rescues and sanctuaries are doing, we are having to build up our feed on hand to ensure our residents have what they need. The additional $2000 is hitting our operating expenses hard. So many residents depend on us to take care of their daily needs, enrichment and any medical needs that come about. I am asking for your help during this difficult time. Please, donate what you can. I know funds are tight around the country right now but these beings depend on all of us to stick together and make sure everyone is being taken care of. Donations are being accepted through PayPal to helpingpigs@sonnyboyanimalsanctuary.org through our website at Help Us NOW Thank you for your help during this very difficult and trying time.” |
