Emergencies Don’t Wait. Help Us Prepare.
As Coloradans, we know how unpredictable, and increasingly extreme, our weather can be. From sudden snowstorms to record heat, these conditions threaten the safety and comfort of the more than 150 rescued residents who call Luvin Arms Animal Sanctuary home.
When emergencies happen, we have to act fast. But right now, we’re stretched to our limits. We need your help to strengthen our operations fund, ensuring we can respond immediately when residents like Miraa and her growing family need urgent care, warmth, or safe transport.
Thanks to a generous anonymous donor, the first $5,000 in donations will be matched—doubling the impact of your gift!
Your Gift Will Help:
Weatherproof barns and shelters so every resident is protected from extreme cold, heat, and wind
Install emergency heating and power systems to maintain critical temperature control during outages
Equip our team with a second, sanctuary-safe trailer for transporting animals in medical or rescue emergencies
Provide crisis supplies, from generator fuel to extra hay, blankets, and first aid
Emergencies don’t wait for convenient timing. Just this fall, we faced difficult choices during overlapping animal health crises, having only one trailer meant postponing care for some residents while rushing others to emergency treatment. With your support, we’ll never have to choose which life to save first.
Together, We Can Be Ready
Your contribution builds long-term safety for every resident, from senior horses like Niblet to rescued pregnant cows like Miraa, ensuring they have the protection and care they deserve when it matters most.
Every dollar brings us closer to a safer, more resilient sanctuary:
$50 helps weatherproof a barn door
$100 fuels our generators during power outages
$250 covers emergency vet transport
$500 helps install radiant heating for vulnerable residents
$1,000 supports the purchase of our new emergency transport trailer
Join us in preparing for the unexpected. Together, we can make sure every animal at Luvin Arms is safe, warm, and cared for, no matter what Colorado weather brings.
Because at Luvin Arms, every life matters, every season.
Giving Activity
Mission
Ahimsa - Nonviolence Toward All Living Beings
Luvin Arms provides exceptional lifelong social, emotional, and cognitive care to rescued farmed animals, and advocates for those who have not been rescued by sharing our residents' stories to inspire, educate, and empower others to embrace a more compassionate and sustainable lifestyle.
Our vision is to create a sanctuary of inspiration and connection where people are empowered to create change that leads to more compassionate choices for themselves, for the planet, and justice for all beings.
Background Statement
Luvin Arms opened its doors in August 2015 after founders Shaleen and Shilpi realized farmed animals were in need of refuge. The Shahs began their journey toward providing a safe haven for rescued farmed animals with a horse named Jale, (pronounced Haalee) who came from a situation of neglect. After saving Jale, they received a call about a pregnant mare at an auction. When the Shahs visited the auction, they discovered there were not only horses there, but a variety of suffering farmed animals who also needed help. This inspired the Shahs to start a sanctuary for farmed animals. As more animals came to call Luvin Arms home, more hands were required for the work involved in caring for them. Since the beginning, passionate community members have volunteered their time and talents to continue to help Luvin Arms and its residents thrive.
