The Horses - Gal & Gracie
The big bay on the left is Gal. She’s a Thoroughbred. Gal was a racehorse before we adopted her. She ran three times and came in third place on her second run. Instead of meeting the same fate as many injured racehorses, she was instead rehabilitated, and now lives a happy life with us. Now she can take it slow.
And on the right is Gracie, the newest member of our herd! She’s a Morgan, and quite the looker. Before we found her, Gracie was living in a tiny stall for most of her life, with little attention, and too little to eat. So we were thrilled to be able to rescue her, and give her a spacious pasture with plenty of food!
Horses often live between 25-30 years, and even longer in rare cases. Despite Gracie being in her mid 20’s, Gal is the head of the herd (though she’s only 9).
Their full names are Galadriel and Gracie Under Fire, but we just call them Gal and Gracie :)
The Pigs - Uma and Este
These cute little piggies are called Kune Kunes. They’re a breed native to New Zealand.
Kunes are known for many things, including their signature “waddles,” their hairiness, and for being among the friendliest of pig breeds. They love cuddles :)
We rescued these two ladies from the slaughterhouse in May of 2022. They’ve been happily living with us on the farm ever since!
Uma and Este are four years old, and they’re half sisters!

The Donkeys - Phoebe and Joni
These two are the sweetest donkeys you’ll ever meet.
While Phoebe and Joni are not technically miniature donkeys, they’re quite small, which makes them perfect for hugs and cuddles. Sometimes, you can even lay down with them!
These girls were rescued from auction, where they almost met a traumatic fate, and they’re so happy to be living and grazing with the rest of the critters at Press Paws.
They are about four years old, and are completely attached at the hip.

The Goats - Horns, Bear, and Amy
Nigerian Dwarf goats and Pigmy goats are among the smallest breeds of goat in the world. Horns is a Pigmy and Bear and Amy are Nigerian Dwarfs!
Inspired by the joy and excitement that comes from doing yoga with goats, it was a no-brainer to include them as part of our ranch retreat.
Amy was rescued from a breeding program, Bear was abandoned near a neighbors house, and Horns from a backyard in Burbank that was soon to be paved! These ladies all have different stories, but they are thick as thieves.
Horns is 14 years old, Bear is 5, and Amy is 4.

The Dogs - Mel & Bridget
They may look intimidating, but you should only be worried if you’re a coyote. These gorgeous girls are Anatolian Shepards, and they make excellent livestock guardian dogs.
When you arrive at the ranch, you will be enthusiastically greeted by Mel, who will run right up to you, tail wagging like crazy. Bridget is a little more shy, but she’s a sweetheart through and through.
These dogs love to work. If there are coyotes off in the distance, these dogs will make sure they stay there. Nothing makes them happier. Except maybe belly rubs.
Mel is 6 years old, and Bridget is 8. Despite their appearance, they are not blood related, but they’ve grown to love each other like sisters.
In their previous living situation, these two were overcrowded with other Anatolians, and rarely got to interact with people. Despite that, they’ve become some of the friendliest critters on the ranch, very much enjoying their space and cuddles.
