      There is never enough land to save animals because people are multiplying by millions on the planet. We need Asher rescues as well as enough food to feed the hungry population of both species. Bless you, Lee, and stay well and safe.

    Lee is living my dream. I have four rescues (I have rescued and rehomed many other dogs), but I lost my job in 2020, I’m alone and I’m getting old. I worry about keeping a roof over the dogs heads for the rest of their lives. I would have loved to have many more dogs (and other animals), but I don’t have the income. So I think it’s awesome Lee has been able to manifest his sanctuary. These animals are truly blessed and Lee is the embodiment of love and compassion. The worlds a better place because of this gentleman.

      ​​@@veganc5028 I commend you on your life's choice and spiritual journey. But I don't think that it is appropriate to point blank Tell someone what they should do, to live according to your values. It would be like someone saying to a stranger what religion they should practice such as: "If you truly love and wish for peace on earth, then live as a Buddhist." See what I mean? Especially if someone hasn't Asked for directions, and an older person, and someone who you really don't Know other than from a teeny amount of details that they posted in a comment on the Internet. Your comment, despite being a truthful fact, comes across as being judgemental and may instill guilt and shame in a person who can not embrace "then live vegan", which is Your value. And I know that is Not who you want to come across as. So I suggest maybe restyling your message, something like "Did you know that the demand for animal products is lessened by 200 animals a year by people who are practicing a vegan diet and lifestyle? I will be glad to provide you with a link or two with basic information if you or someone you know is considering learning more about it.😁" Something like that which might intrigue their interest. Remember, our messages are all in" The Delivery" in How they are conveyed to be effective. We can essentially say Anything, as long as the delivery isn't offensive causing the recipient to become defensive. I hope that I have not offended you with my message, it's always the chance one takes when communicating with "strangers in cyberspace" But I am a tough old broad who learned many years ago that "Life is not a popularity contest, you'll never please them all" and I remain strong enough to continue to take chances, hoping I can help another now and then with what I have learned over 7 decades. May many blessings be bestowed upon you, you seem to be "on the right path" in this world that we live in as spiritual beings having very human experiences.🙏🧓

    😮 240 acres OMG that is awesome. I knew being a rancher‘s daughter that 25 acres wouldn’t last long not at the rate animals are being dumped. I’m so glad you were able to get such a large property but it’s not going to stop there you’re gonna have to buy more. And I think you should make a petting farm with all of the animals so that people can come to the petting farm have an entrance fee to help make money to feed all of these animals.❤

      @@spicybrown75 I’m sorry, but I disagree strongly. Lee doesn’t owe anyone an explanation unless it makes him feel better and he feels the need or necessity. As it is, he’s a very conscientious person and does it because he’s very open hearted, but he doesn’t owe this to anyone. As far as his social media and donations are concerned, that is also something that must be done freely from the person’s heart and not because Lee’s explanations meet their approval or expectations. If you don’t like what he does or says, don’t watch. It’s that simple. People watch and donate because they love Lee, his animals, and how he loves back. Name one famous rescue such as The Humane Society that is transparent about how they spend the donations from the public; the answer is THERE ARE NONE.
      This journey has been difficult enough for Lee with the heartbreaking loss and enormous responsibility of making life and financial decisions without people putting a huge guilt trip on him about things that aren’t anyone else’s business.

    There are rescues out there that have up to 200-300 dogs or cats (legal limit). That is not hoarding. It is rescue. Some people just don't get that. And with the dogs able to be inside they get a since of what a "home life" really is vice being stuck in a kennel all their life until they are adopted or put down for over crowding. I have 9 rescue dogs and 11 buried on our other acre from rescue over the last 30 years. I fully understand where you are coming from and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Without people like you these babies would be on the streets or dead. Thank you and God bless! P.S. I want a few nanny goats too.

    The animal rescue arena is truly one of the most emotionally rewarding and traumatizing arenas. But for some of us we have to be involved anyway. The toll can be heavier than we realize though so remember to be good to yourself all along the way, whatever that takes because they need us and we need them. Love you man. 💞🐾💞

    Lee Asher thank you for what you do. I watch your videos and it always seemed to me that you were living this magical fun life not realizing you were putting on your best face for us. When I think it through I now understand that what you do is very hard work and can be emotionally taxing. Just like a farmer you have a 24/7-365 job literally. My wife and I live in a small apartment in Manhattan and we both work full time. We have one dog and she got diagnosed with kushings disease around two years ago. She was five at the time. We struggle with the amount of money it takes to take care of her and the responsibility and time etc etc. But when I look at you I feel stupid. I can’t imagine how busy you must be. You are an inspiration to all of us. Please know that whenever you feel sadness or disappointment or doubt or even anger. Please know that what you do is God’s work. You have become bigger than yourself Lee and I know you will rise to the occasion and do greater things because I believe in you.

    You have such a big heart, Lee! Of course, the loss of any animal is very hard to bear. How much we love them becomes the scale of our grief when they leave us. I lost my cat Wilson after 18 1/2 years, and he passed on my birthday weekend 2 years ago. The love and the pain have diminished only slightly, so I try to offset it with the happy memories and the joy he brought to me. I am glad that you are choosing to continue the dream, and I'm very happy about the new sanctuary! No, it's not easy, that's why the successes are so great. Hang in there, Lee, we will all help any way we can. ♥
