Hear the voices of the thousands we’ve saved, for the thousands that come next, and the billions we’ll never get to hear.

Become Part of the Love Spoken Here Legacy Community

Maybe it’s a loud “WHERE’S MY DINNER?!” or a happy “HELLOOO!” across the field. We’ve all heard our favorite Sanctuary friends talk to us in their own special way. Now’s your chance to tell their stories, as you hear them!
 
We all have them, those moments when we feel as if a beloved animal friend is talking to us, telling us a story, sharing an experience or expressing an emotion. This is your chance to share those moments. Tell us what you “hear” them saying!
 

The Love Spoken Here Legacy Community is our way of celebrating the stories of the animals we have saved, past and present.  Stories of animals who’ve found healing, and joy at CAS, of the people who have fallen love with them, and the profound ways we changed each other’s lives. Through this Community of giving and shared storytelling, we become part of something bigger: a compassionate network connected by our shared belief that when we truly listen, we can hear the voices, stories, and experiences of every species.

Join us. Let’s speak love, loudly and proudly.

Tales from the Animals

TELL US WHAT THEY ARE SAYING TO YOU!
Do you hear your favorite Sanctuary friend speaking to you? Maybe Tucker whispers, “Be still,” or Mario shouts, “Love is loud!” Share a short message (1–5 sentences) from their point of view, 1st person voice, that captures their words, to deliver their message to the world. We’ll feature selected submissions from the Love Spoken Here Legacy Community to help amplify the voices of these animals, because they are talking…we are just translating.
 
Love is Spoken Here, and it is Heard Here. ♥️

Here is an example of how we hear Ferguson and Audrey:

Ferguson

Ferguson

“Hi!! Hi! Hi! Can I get in your car?! Can I please get in your car? I really want to climb in and join you! I’m just so happy to see you and would love to show you around! I was born here and know so much about this place so let me know if you need anything! Ok, I see someone else that I have to go say hello to! Bye!

Ferguson’s Motto: Greet Everyone With Joy

Audrey

(Told with the voice of a teenager): “I mean, let’s be honest, I love it and everything but sometimes I just want to close my eyes because it’s so embarrassing when she does it. Here she comes. Thankfully today there’s no one around but us… wait for it!! “Pig!!” “I love you pig!!” Why does she have to be so loud about it?! I mean when we’re alone like today, it’s fine and I know she’s going to scratch my back and talk to me and kiss my nose so that makes it OK, but when there are lots of people around, ugh, so embarrassing.”

Audrey’s Motto: Love is Loud
