Thanks so much, Cecilia Crow, for sponsoring a day of sanctuary today in honor of Shelly Roepke and for sharing your celebration with the chimpanzees and cattle!

“Happy Birthday Shelly! You are a kind, caring soul, a born therapist in every way. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, positive energy, and encouraging life affirmations with me. I am honored to call you a dear friend. Peace and happy birthday! Love you, Cecilia.”

Wishing you a truly wonderful birthday, Shelly, from all of us here at the sanctuary!

    Happy birthday, Shelly and thanks, Cecilia, for sponsoring the day in Shelly’s name. And thanks for the choice of pics, Katelyn. That image of Mave hugging Dora really touched me. Well, of course, all the photos do, but some days some of the photos really stop me in my tracks and that was one of those.

      Marya,
      Dora is getting so much love from her new (and former) friends! It *is* so touching – her whole life must feel different. We all need a Dora in our lives. <3
