The blending of art and animals is part of the mission of From the Heart Animal Sanctuary and will be amalgamated during the Celebration of Art and Animals fundraiser. Horses, dogs, goats, donkeys, sheep, a pony, an alpaca, a mule and a few draft horses make up the menagerie at this special rescue facility in Paso Robles, CA.
Cedric was a work animal back East, then discarded. He is now in his mid-twenties enjoying sanctuary life.

The Special Animals Inspire Budding Artists
The animals at From the Heart Animal Sanctuary have special needs and found themselves in peril. This rescue facility steps in to provide rehab and a place to live out their lives at the sanctuary. Here they also become inspiration for budding artists, where children come to learn about drawing and painting animals. The children also learn about the physical and behavioral characteristics of each animal which helps them capture the essence of the animal in their art projects.
Fun for the Whole Family – Celebration of Art and Animals Fundraiser
