I am grateful beyond words.

Sanctuary life is exhausting. Veganism is heart-wrenching. Knowing that animals are tortured, discarded, abused, unwanted, left to die—it’s enough to break anyone. I’ve been vegan for 14 years, and for most of that time, I was sad and angry. I didn’t want to walk on a planet with so much suffering and disregard for animals, both human and non-human.

But two years ago, I had the honor of giving a tour of Fluffy Butt Rescue. His energy, his gratitude, and his unwavering hope for a better world changed me. He is fueled by the possibility of change.

Every day, I learn something new about animal exploitation, and while my heart still breaks, I know, without a doubt, that I am making a difference. And I want to keep making a difference. I am proud to be part of a compassionate community of vegans, sanctuary founders, and activists who are changing the lives of animals and educating others about their suffering.

Right now, I stand in the open barn doorway, feeling the breeze, watching our residents live the lives they deserve, and I am overwhelmed with gratitude. My dream became a reality—and I keep dreaming bigger. I have confidence and faith that Fluffy Butt Rescue will continue to grow, to inspire, to change hearts and minds.

Thank you to everyone who supports this mission. Together, we are building a kinder world.

The evolution of the barn! When we purchased the property the barn was covered in poison ivy, siding falling off, and it needed structural repairs. Because of our supporters we have been able to add electric on the ground level (where the animals are) and we are restoring the street level and transforming into a communal space where we will host small events and classes. It has come a long way, and it’s going to be fun watching it come to life with creativity, community and compassion!

Today, the Weeklies gathered for a social afternoon! We hiked the new trail in the back woods of the property — a path that Rhodes has been working on. We ate a well-deserved lunch, generously funded by an anonymous donor. We are so grateful for the support that allows us to treat the hardworking folks who keep this place running smoothly!

Our Weeklies show up rain or shine, week after week, and their dedication is truly the heartbeat of our little sanctuary. It’s moments like these that remind us how special Fluffy Butt Rescue truly is — not just because of the animals we care for, but because of the incredible community that makes it all possible.

Thank you to everyone who supports our mission in ways big and small!

Saturday morning was terrifying. We found Bertram on his side, convulsing, dry heaving, and struggling to breathe at times. We rushed him to the ER, where x-rays showed that his stomach, small intestine, and large intestine were filled with gas, and he was severely backed up. Thankfully, his bloodwork came back great. We told him this was not the way to celebrate his Gotcha Day!

The emergency vet bill totaled $1,393.00. If you can, please consider donating to help us cover Bertram’s care. Every dollar makes a difference!

🌿🌸Celebrate Spring with a Somatic Journey & Equinox Circle with Jivana Wellness Co. at Fluffy Butt Rescue! 🌸🌿

Trauma, especially when unprocessed, can become deeply embedded in the body, manifesting as tension, emotional blockages, or patterns that keep us stuck. A somatic journey offers a safe space to reconnect with yourself, inviting these embedded energies to gently surface and release.

Through a series of gentle movements, breath, and focused attention, you create space within both your physical and energetic bodies for renewal, self-healing, and a deeper sense of balance and alignment.

Following the somatic journey, we will come together for an integration experience in a sacred circle. With the support of herbs, journaling, and shared reflection, this space will invite deeper processing, connection, and grounding. Together, we will honor the shifts within and around us as we welcome the energy of Spring.

The chateau was empty for a few weeks while Newman was in the barn for the remainder of winter. He told us he was ready to go back, and Oats accompanied him. They are great snuggle buddies. They just have a VERY different idea of when breakfast should be served! #newman #oats #chateau #buddies #elderpig #piglet #fluffybuttrescue #sanctuary #microsanctuary #animalsanctuary #farmsanctuary #pigsofinstagram #rescuedanimals #pigs #cuddlebuddies #brekkie

Exciting things are happening at FBR (but we aren’t posting about it until tomorrow)!!! Today is just one of those days that I can’t help but singing and dancing while I work. You can tell I’m feeling good because I would normally never post something like this. I’m sure I will regret this later. 🥴 #goodnews #exciting #excitingnews #dreamcometrue #love #laboroflove #sanctuary #feelingood #staytuned #fluffybuttrescue #microsanctuary #animalsanctuary #farmsanctuary #vegan #embarassing #outofmycomfortzone #barn #illregretthislater #dance #happygolucky

Caring for rescued animals comes with many challenges, and Avian Influenza (AI) is one of the biggest threats sanctuaries like ours face at this time. This highly contagious virus can spread through wild birds, contaminated surfaces, and on shoes or clothing. To protect our ducks, turkeys, and chickens, we have strict biosecurity measures in place. Our team is trained on how AI spreads and the critical steps to prevent contamination. Protecting our rescued birds is a community effort, and your support helps keep them safe. Every donation makes a difference in providing them with a loving, secure home. We appreciate everyone who has purchased biosecurity items from our wishlist! #AnimalSanctuary #RescueAnimals #FarmSanctuary #ProtectWildlife #AvianFlu #VeganForTheAnimals #Biosecurity #SaveTheBirds #AnimalWelfare #AI #Chickens #Ducks #Turkeys #Education #VolunteerTraining #FarmAnimalRescue #SupportSanctuaries #FluffyButtRescue #avianflulockdown #birdflu

Five years ago, this sweet soul came into my life. Bertram made me fall in love with pigs forever. From the start, he became my therapig. There’s something so healing about being with him—his belly-up naps in the sun, his happy grunts, and those sweet, deep, loving eyes that hold so much love, trust, and wisdom. When it comes to belly rubs, there’s no competition. He is the king. One scratch, and he’s flopping over, completely surrendering to pure bliss. Every time, it reminds me how much trust and love we’ve built over these years. As we celebrate his five-year rescue anniversary, I can’t help but think back on all that we have been through together. He’s been my best non-human friend, my heart, and my reminder of why I do this work. Five years of love. Five years of friendship. We love you, Bertram! #bertram @dianne_1128 @jacquesgaffney #bert #pigsofinstagram #love #friendship #therapig #happy #photo #friends #family #life #inspiration #gotchaday #rescueversary #sanctuary #microsanctuary #rescued #bestillmybeatingheart #fiveyears #manymore #fluffybuttrescue
