          *****Property Update*****

Dear Supporters,

 

We wanted to provide you with an important update regarding the property in Santa Barbara. Unfortunately, we were unable to secure a loan, and the owner accepted an offer from another party. This was a difficult setback for all of us, but we firmly believe that everything happens for a reason.

 

However, we are excited to share that we are now pursuing a wonderful opportunity to acquire a 2-acre farm located on Calle Real in Goleta! We have received the green light from Santa Barbara County to operate from this property, which is priced at $2.6 million. While this amount exceeds what our rescue can currently afford, we are confident that with the support of our community and potential grants, we can transform this incredible turnkey property into a reality! 

 

**Why This Property Matters**

 

- **Expanded Rescue Capacity**: A dedicated facility will allow us to house more rescues on-site, reducing our reliance on private homes.

- **A Home for Our Rescues**: This property would provide a permanent sanctuary for our special needs rescues, ensuring they always have a place to call home.

- **Sustainable Funding**: We plan to launch an on-site doggy daycare and boarding service, generating revenue that will sustain rescue operations and help repay private loans.

- **Community Hub**: This space will serve as a permanent home for adoption events, training classes, and volunteer activities, bringing our supporters even closer to our mission.

 

**Our Plan of Action**

 

1. **Secure Funding**: We are actively applying for grants that will facilitate property acquisition, particularly agriculture grants, as this property includes an avocado orchard!

 

2. **Mobilize Your Pledges**: If we can gather enough pledges, we can make a full cash offer and close within 45 days!

 

**How You Can Help**

 

- **Pledge Today**: Your pledge will only be collected when our offer is accepted.

  

- **Legacy Wall Recognition**: If we are able to purchase this property for the rescue, your name will be permanently displayed on a wall in our new home as a living legacy of your love and compassion for animals for pledges of $100 or more. (All friends who have already contributed $100+ to our Property Fund will also be included.)

 

- **Living Legacy**: If you purchase the property for the rescue, we would be honored to name the property after you!

 

- **Spread the Word**: Share this update with fellow dog lovers, local businesses, and community groups who believe in our mission.

 

With this exciting opportunity, we could finalize the purchase and be operational by September 2025—ready to rescue more dogs and build a lasting legacy of compassion. Your donations will play a crucial role in helping us secure this property and continue our mission to rescue and care for these wonderful animals.

 

Time is of the essence. Please consider pledging or donating today to help us secure this home for our furry friends. If you would like to see the property please click this link.

 

Thank you for your unwavering support and dedication to our cause!
