46 degrees: our animals feel it too

Temperatures around 40 degrees for months. This week it reached 46. We're launching a Code Red plan to keep our animals safe.

This is our Spanish Don Blanco, 46 years old, here sharing a meal with his chicken friends. He was severely abused, and it took years to rebuild his trust. Together with Stormy, an ex-racehorse and English Thoroughbred, he is the founder of the Foundation.

For months now we've been living with temperatures around 40°C (104°F). This week it even reached 46°C (115°F). Wildfires have broken out in our village as well.

The extreme heat is demanding on our rescued animals, and on us. We're creating extra shaded areas and have started a Code Red plan. Ventilation in the stables, heat-resistant shelters, and other adjustments are urgently needed to keep our animals safe now and in the future.

There's still a lot to do. Soon we'll share our complete heat plan on our website.

We're so grateful when you help our rescued animals. Here, they find a safe forever home, for the rest of their lives.
