Paso Robles Elks Lodge donates to local animal sanctuary
– Elks Lodge #2364 in Paso Robles recently donated $850 to From the Heart Animal Sanctuary.
Carson Landreth, Past Exalted Ruler of the lodge, presented the donation to Leslie and Joe Thomas of From the Heart Animal Sanctuary. The contribution will provide support for the sanctuary’s mission of caring for neglected or abandoned animals, encompassing medical treatment, shelter, and affection.
“The Elks Lodge #2364 has a long history of community service and charitable giving, and this donation to From the Heart Animal Sanctuary is just one example of their dedication to making a positive impact in Paso Robles and beyond,” said Landreth. “By supporting organizations like the sanctuary, the Elks Lodge continues to demonstrate the power of compassion and kindness in creating a better world for all beings.”
“I am delighted to offer this money to help feed the animals in your sanctuary,” Landreth said, “Members of the Elks Lodge believe in the humane treatment of animals, and when we heard the story of you rescuing five huskies and providing them with a forever home, we felt compelled to step up. We wish it could be more.”
“We are so grateful to the Elks,” said Leslie Thomas. “Food and supplies for the huskies get to be very expensive. The Elks’ donation will help.”
The sanctuary now has 24 huskies to care for in addition to 8 horses, 18 goats, 4 donkeys, Tinty the alpaca, livestock guard dogs, three Mini-ponies, one Belgian mule, five sheep, ten cats, and one cow named Milkshake. All were homeless and needed rescuing. The sanctuary separates the huskies into packs, which complements their instincts. Each pack has one acre of land to roam and play in.
