News & Happenings at Aska’s Animals

Jazzy Girl

December 10, 2025

Having been in the sheltering and rescue world for a bit now, I’ve had many feelings about the term “forever home.” I’ve seen families doing everything they can, only to find themselves in circumstances they never expected. I’ve seen people come into the shelter utterly heartbroken, saying goodbye to a beloved pet. Life changes, sometimes abruptly, and not always in ways we can prepare for.

The Round Up at MODERNBEAST Supports Aska’s Animals

November 18, 2025

Shop MODERNBEAST online or in store this holiday season and 100% of Round Up contributions will support Aska's Animals! This program offers an easy way for the community to create real impact—one simple gesture at a time.

Welcome to Aska’s Animals, where we are rethinking animal welfare with a long-term approach. Our strategy focuses on raising puppies that have unfortunately found their way into the shelter system—pups who statistically face a higher risk of behavior challenges, disease, and the possibility of returning to shelters later in life or becoming less adoptable. We are committed to providing canine owners, shelters, rescues, and anyone in need with behavior support and education to keep dogs in homes, increase their adoptability, and reduce their time in shelters. Additionally, our expansive space allows us to offer sanctuary to rescued farm animals, giving them a safe place to live out their days.

Donate

We deeply appreciate contributions of any size, as they directly support our mission to care for homeless animals in need. Your generosity helps us provide essential services such as spay/neuter procedures, vaccinations, food, and cleaning supplies, as well as covering the countless hours our staff dedicates to caring for the animals.

DONATE ONLINE

Volunteer

We’re always looking for volunteers to visit the farm, to socialize with our short- and long-term animal residents and to keep their accommodations clean and organized. Please fill out a volunteer application and sign up for one of our monthly volunteer orientations if you are interested in volunteering with us.

Meet our Residents

Aska’s Animals provides both temporary care and long-term residency to animals in need. Our long-term sanctuary residents include chickens, pigs, goats, cats, and dogs. You’ll also see Aska’s childhood horse roaming around, enjoying their retirement, and supervising our work. The animals that live here are simply allowed to be animals. They don’t have to earn their share of attention or fear being euthanized for space. Our staff and volunteers meet each animals’ needs including daily enrichment, medical care, and community. Since the farm residents will live out their days with us, our Puppy Palaces are always open to new puppies, providing them with a temporary home as we raise and prepare them for adoption into loving families.
