The Punkyard
The creative heart of the sanctuary. Small animals, maker workshops, and the place where rescue meets steampunk culture. Rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, and the occasional visiting critter call this home.
Punkyard Residents
Rugby (aka Bark Twain)
Dog · Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Rugby (aka Bark Twain) is the sanctuary's resident philosopher and luxury enthusiast, known for his magnificent underbite "The Chin" and his unshakeable belief that every day should be a spa day. This zen master of nap time arrived with his rescue twin Temperance from Moreno Valley shelter, and together they've perfected the art of dignified lounging while dispensing wisdom and collecting comfort items. Whether he's hoarding toys as "self-care," mentoring kitten Basil, or delivering his famous "Wisdom From The Chin" while sprawled across human pillows, Rugby embodies the Monday vibe we all secretly crave—sleeping until next week sounds perfectly reasonable to him.
