Mark your calendars for Living Free Animal Sanctuary’s annual Hoedown on Saturday, October 24 at The Rustic Theatre in Idyllwild!

This year’s Hoedown is more than just a night of music and community. It is the official launch of our efforts to create an affordable animal care clinic for the residents of Idyllwild and the surrounding mountain communities. Every dollar raised from this event will go directly toward renovating and updating Living Free’s outdated clinic, helping us provide better care for the animals who rely on us.

For more than 40 years, Living Free has been a safe haven for animals in need. This new clinic will help us continue that mission while expanding access to veterinary care for our mountain community.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you for a night dedicated to animals, community, and making a lasting difference.

P.S. Calling all country performers, rockstars, and local bands! We’re looking for four more bands willing to volunteer their time and talent for this special cause. Stereo Purrs have already signed on, and we’d love to add more musicians to the lineup. Performers will not receive payment, but The Rustic Theatre has generously offered food and drink tickets. Each set will be about an hour long. If your band wants to play for the animals, send us a message!

Excellent option for in the mountains!

READY FOR ACTION! Doggy Drone Team members have been practicing and honing their skills to help find lost dogs here in Idyllwild, Fern Valley, Pine Cove, and nearby Mt. Center.
When a dog goes missing for at least 45 to 60 minutes, the dog guardian might want to give this team a call for assistance. 951-663-6642
IMPORTANT: There is NO guarantee that the DDT will find him, but the team will certainly try! The caller must make the call within the first hour or two of the dog's disappearance AND must have at least two people willing to join the team and its search. Having an eye in the sky can help the searchers narrow down the area, and with radio communication between the drone pilot and the searchers (we provide the radios), the search becomes even more effective.
Do you have questions? Please call ARF, leave a message, and your call will be returned. 951-659-1122

Hope Ranch doing compassionate care for their community ❤️‍🩹

This isn't something we talk about very often. We try our best to keep our page positive, adoption focused, and happy tails. But today, we wanted to share another side of the rescue that many of you never see.

One of the ways we give back to our community is by helping low-income families with veterinary care when we can. Many of you know we provide low-cost spay/neuter assistance. That is always our #1 part our mission. Occasionally we are able to help with unexpected medical needs, and sometimes, we help families say goodbye.

Today was one of those days... This beautiful girl was 17 years old. She was deeply loved and had lived a long life surrounded by her human. Sadly, her time had come, but they were in a hard place financially, without transportation and simply couldn't afford euthanasia.

No family should have to watch a beloved pet suffer because saying goodbye is financially out of reach. But because of your support, we were able to help give this sweet girl the peaceful, dignified goodbye she deserved. Our hearts are with her family as they navigate such a difficult loss.

We also want to give a heartfelt thank you to Helping Paws Animal Hospital in Anza for the compassion they show every single day. From first puppy visits to final goodbyes, they care for everyone with kindness and empathy. We are incredibly grateful for everything they do for the Hope Ranch dogs and for the community they serve.

To be completely transparent, rescue has been incredibly difficult lately. Donations are the lowest we've seen in a long time.

When funding slows, it doesn't just affect the dogs in our rescue or the ones we could be helping. It also affects families we can help, community spay/neuter assistance, emergency medical cases we can say yes to, & moments like today, when helping someone say goodbye with dignity means everything.

If you're in a position to help, no amount is too small. Together, we can keep preventing unwanted litters, easing suffering, and giving families hope during some of life's hardest moments.

Thank you for believing in what we do and for making moments like today possible.
