"A few years ago, we purchased a property with another sanctuary," reads a GoFundMe launched by Rancho Relaxo founder Caitlin Stewart.

"It was a beautiful and productive collaboration at the time," Stewart writes. "Sadly, the other sanctuary lost its way within the last year due to a lack of finances and mental health-related issues."

As the neglected sanctuary closes its doors, Rancho Relaxo must take on an additional $7,000 in property costs each month, including an outstanding $42,000 loan for fencing, according to the campaign, which had raised more than $7,200 in just a few hours.

"Our mission is so important to us," Stewart continues. "We will never fail the animals as some others have. We will push forward, stronger than ever. But we need you."
