We’ve all read about A Chance for Bliss Animal Sanctuary on this site and its need to raise cash quick.

Here’s a chance to visit the sanctuary and meet the animals – a blind horse named Stevie, a diabetic Pomeranian named Baby and Moose the Pug and about 70 other animals (give or take a few) who have found a permanent home at the sanctuary. These precious animals are all seniors, special needs or living their final days on Earth at this sanctuary, known affectionately as "The Ranch."

Come meet co-founders Deanna Slavec Bartley and her husband “Woody” Bartley and see their incredible work firsthand.

The Ranch is on the brink of foreclosure. Take a drive up to Penryn for a visit and lend a hand. You will leave a changed person.
