8 Fall 2016 Applegater Dogs and bunnies and cats, oh my! BY KAT VON CUPCAKE The dog days of summer are here at Sanctuary One, and we are happy to announce the bunny and cat days of summer, too. Hopefully, we all have a little more time to savor the long days and warm weather that summertime in southern Oregon offers. So why not grab your kids, grandkids, a neighbor, or your best friends and come out for a tour and meet the animals of Sanctuary One? Our Cat Cottage is filled with friendly and curious felines who would love to become a part of your family. If you enjoy swimming, then you might fancy a dip with our most recent addition, Callie (see photo). Callie is a gorgeous and sweet 10-year-old Turkish Van. This breed is best known for its unusual fascination with water. The Bunny Barn is bursting with personality these days. Garth and Brooks are both adorable, fluffy black bunnies, one with ears that stand up and one with ears that flop. When these two aren’t entertaining one another with playful bunny antics, they are napping together in a sweet bunny snuggle. Meanwhile, over at the Dog Cottage, the dog days of summer are in full swing! Copper the coonhound and his new bunkmate, Crosby, a beautiful brindle-terrier mix, are busy soaking up the sun in between dips in the wading pool. There is never a dull moment with these two boys. They are both ready to join a human and become his or her new best friend. Our pasture is replete with horses, pigs, goats, sheep, alpacas, geese, and a recently rescued one-year-old steer. Each of these critters has a story of a less-than-perfect living situation (some does not allow are downright for in-home horrific) prior companionship, to being rescued Sanctuary and brought One is always to the calm looking for new and safety of volunteers.
