For animals at Alpine Acres Sanctuary Farm, however, escaping extreme heat isn’t always an option. That means staff are working around the clock to keep the animals cool and comfortable while also making sure visitors can safely enjoy a day at the sanctuary. Staff says it can pose a serious safety concern, so they have added extra water, shade, and cooling stations throughout the property. Lead animal keeper Chanda Brockman said staff frequently use hoses and misters to help the animals cool down. For now, the sanctuary is relying on plenty of water, shade, cooling stations and constant monitoring to help its animals and visitors safely make it through the heat.
