Last summer, I went on a tour of Kitzman’s Farm Sanctuary, and I loved it. I remember leaving thinking about the animals and the care they receive.

This year, I reached out to Tracy and asked if I could donate a gallery of images to the sanctuary. I’m so grateful she let me come spend some time photographing the animals.

The work they do here is so special. Many of the animals are disabled or need extra care, and they are all given so much love, and compassion. It was such a joy being around them and seeing the care that goes into giving them a safe and happy life.

I’m thankful I could contribute in a small way by giving the sanctuary photos they can use to share their animals and their story.

Thank you, Tracy, for letting me spend time with your lovely animals. It was truly a pleasure. 🩷

I highly recommend checking them out and following the work they do. If you’d like to donate to them you can do so here: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/compassion-in-action-rescue-care-and-education 🩷🐷🐶🐰🐱🐔🦆🐢🐄🐈‍⬛🐐🌻
