\"Out<\/p>\n

Last weekend, John and I visited Out to Pasture<\/a> animal sanctuary for their summer movie night fundraiser. It was about a 50 minute drive from Portland to the sanctuary in Estacada. In case you can’t make out the sign on the right, it says “a gated community.”<\/p>\n

This was my first visit to an animal sanctuary, and I was excited to make some furry new friends, but you never know how the animals will react to humans as they’ve suffered abuse or neglect before winding up here in this caring forever home. That said, we encountered many friendly, gentle creatures, some of which seemed to be posing for photos. This is really a place “where a pig can be a pig.”<\/p>\n
