🎸🐾 ROCK OUT FOR THE ANIMALS! LUCKY ONES RANCH NEEDS YOU! 🐾🎸

We have some exciting news to share!

Lucky Ones Ranch has been selected as one of TWO animal rescue organizations benefiting from this year's RESCUE ROCKS fundraiser! ❤️

On Sunday, November 1st, we're joining forces with Ripple Effect Animal Project for an afternoon of incredible LIVE MUSIC, great company, and a whole lot of love for rescued animals!

🎶 Featuring CAMP JEFF, an amazing group of musicians with connections to legendary bands including Boston, Jefferson Starship, the Eddie Money Band, and more!

❤️ WHY THIS EVENT MEANS SO MUCH TO US

Here at Lucky Ones Ranch, more than 110 rescued animals depend on us every single day.

Many came to us after experiencing neglect, abuse, abandonment, or simply because nobody else wanted them. We provide a forever home to 18 different species of animals.

Just this year, you've seen us work our magic with Jessie, Tony and Ernie! They are now doing fantastic.. mentally and physically!

But providing that forever home comes with enormous expenses. Hay, feed, veterinary bills, medications, farrier visits, and all the other necessities never stop.

That's why fundraisers like RESCUE ROCKS mean the world to us.

And the best part? 100% of the event proceeds go directly to the two beneficiary animal rescue organizations!

📅 Sunday, November 1, 2026
⏰ 2:00–5:30 PM (Doors open at 1 PM)
📍 Lucca Bar & Grill
439 First Street, Benicia, CA

🐾 Come meet us ( Thao & Vince ), enjoy some fantastic music, and spend an afternoon with people who share your love for animals! (Our animals will be staying home.)

We're incredibly grateful to Lisa Sikes, the musicians, and everyone helping make this fundraiser possible.

PLEASE COME OUT AND SUPPORT US! ❤️

And even if you can't attend, PLEASE SHARE this post! You never know which friend might love live music AND helping rescue animals.

Let's fill the place with animal lovers and make this an unforgettable afternoon! 🐾🎶🎷🎸❤️

Look at Ernie in the mix with the other sanctuary dogs!!!

10/21/2026

For those of you who may not know, my husband Vince works full-time as a sergeant. He puts in long hours and quite a bit of overtime to help make up for the income we lost when I decided that I no longer wanted to work full-time as a police dispatcher.

After the fire in 2020, I faced some serious health challenges that required multiple surgeries. While I still return to dispatch for at least 10 hours a month, my primary focus these days is taking care of my health and the animals who call our sanctuary home.

Naturally, I spend far more time with the animals than Vince does. He's often working while I'm here tending to their daily needs, building trust, and helping them overcome whatever challenges they've faced.

Which brings me to this beautiful moment between Vince and Ernie tonight. 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

Since Ernie came to us in July, we've worked hard to help him feel safe, comfortable, and loved. He's been especially reluctant to accept affection out in the open, preferring to keep his distance rather than make himself vulnerable.

But tonight, Ernie let Vince snuggle with him. And not just tolerate it, but genuinely seemed to enjoy the affection.

To some, it might look like an ordinary moment between a man and an animal.

But to us, it represents months of patience, consistency, trust, and love.

And what makes it even more special is that Vince doesn't get nearly as much time with Ernie as I do.

These are the moments that remind us why we do what we do and makes all of our sacrifices worth it.

Tonight, Ernie gave us one of those priceless rewards. Oh gosh my heart is so full!!!😍😍😍

Back in March, Love's Legacy Rescue saw the amazing progress we had made with Freeda and asked us to take in Bohdi.

Bohdi had been returned by his foster and was back in boarding... and declining while he waited for a home. He was having difficulty with potty training, but otherwise an easygoing dog who got along with all kinds of dogs.

We figured out pretty quickly that he does not like being in a crate or kennel. He would cry out and eventually urinate on his bedding. His anxiety about being in kennel got better and we figured out that he just can't hold his p*e for more than 6 hours.

The one thing he's been terrible at is going into his feeding crate for meal time. He has refused to go in until I put the bowl inside, then he would go in. And then as soon as he finished, he would cry out and start to destroy the kennel.

And then finally. Finally... it all clicked for him. Today and yesterday, Bohdi went into his feeding kennel on his own!! We're so proud of our handsome boy. He still whines a little when he's waiting to be let out. But overall, Bohdi is doing quite well.

With all the bad news with so many dog rescues lately, please do your vetting. Find out where and how the dogs live. Find out who their vet is. Find out if they're getting the care and attention that they deserve.

You must hold small to large rescues accountable and demand transparency within their operations.

The Mango tornado 🌪touched down inside of our house early this morning. She left a path of destruction that left us wondering how much damage she can do within seconds!!

During the Lafayette Art and W**e Festival, people relentlessly asked if Mango was up for adoption. We wholeheartedly said, 'HECK TO THE NO'

UMMM... she's crazy!!

Trust me. We're doing a public service by keeping Mango here at the sanctuary!

I'm feeling a little melancholy today after saying goodbye to the four kittens we entrusted to the UC Davis Orphan Kitten Project.🐈🐈🐈🐈

While my heart wishes I could have kept them, my head knows they're exactly where they need to be. I'm hopeful that under their care, these four little lives will thrive and eventually find loving homes of their own.

Living with over 110 sanctuary animals has taught me SOOOOO many lessons about life, love, death, patience, and responsibility.

But perhaps one of the hardest lessons is learning to let go. So hard to do... right??!!

Sometimes loving an animal means recognizing that someone else can give them what they need. And that's okay.

Sanctuary life has also taught me not to sweat the small stuff. That plans rarely go as expected. That perfection is overrated.

And that sometimes, it's perfectly okay when the dogs eat my beautiful zinnias and the pumpkins I've spent months growing. 🌸🎃😂

Because at the end of the day, the flowers will bloom again, the pumpkins can be replanted, and the animals will continue to remind me what really matters.

It's not about holding on to everything we love. Sometimes, love is knowing when to let go. ❤️🐾
