2008 Calendar of Events

Pignic
Friday, July 4, Noon - 4 PM
Did you know that pigs love belly rubs, and that cows like to give kisses? You'll learn this and more at our fun and educational day for kids and critters! Activities include feeding the animals, veggie picnic food, face-painting, old fashioned field games, and our special humane tours that help teach children to be kind to ALL animals.

Walk for Country Critters
Sunday, July 13, Noon - 4 PM
Help raise needed funding for our sanctuary, and educate people about compassionate living choices, as we walk down the Venice Beach boardwalk. Your participation will help us open our doors to many more suffering farmed animals, and teach people that farmed animals are friends, not food! All funds raised will help us build rehabilitation pens for suffering farmed animals. Please click here for further information and to register for the walkathon today.

Blessing of the Animals
Sunday, October 5th , Noon - 3 PM
St. Francis of Assisi had a love for all creatures. At Animal Acres we share that sentiment! Join us for a multi-denominational blessing of our sanctuary animals. Enjoy veggie snacks and beverages while learning about the special relationship we can have with ALL animals.

Compassionate Thanksgiving Celebration
Saturday, November 22, Noon - 4 PM
Celebrate with fellow "veg pilgrims" and our honored feathered friends as we gather together to encourage people to feed a turkey, rather than eat a turkey. Spend an afternoon meeting the sanctuary critters and enjoying a vegan meal, along with special guest presentations.
