Sebastian and his little friend

Everybody wanted to feed Sebastian, he was such a sweetheart.

Sebastian had been locked in a closet by a man along with a lot of dead animals. Neighbors called the police when they saw more dead animals in the guy’s yard, and Sebastian was rescued and brought to the sanctuary, where he’ll be able to live the rest of his life.

*****

They promote compassion and the humane treatment of all animals by educating the public on farm animal and wildlife issues.
