• Saving Grace Animal Sanctuary offers safe homes to neglected animals (canyonsnews.com) — An Acton-based nonprofit, Saving Grace Animal Sanctuary, is giving more than 30 formerly unwanted or abused animals a permanent, safe home on its 2.5-acre property. Owners Erich and Kathy Lange fund much of the work themselves, welcome visitors, and use hands-on encounters with cows, lambs, turkeys, and more to gently educate people about animal welfare and compassionate living.
