“From the moment we rescued our first animal resident at Luvin Arms, we knew that we must make the organization sustainable for decades to come. The promise of a safe, loving home for life made to each rescued individual is a bond we cannot break.

This is why Shilpi and I have named Luvin Arms in our will. It warms our heart to know that our legacy gift will continue to spread Ahimsa and compassion for generations to come, and a forever home is a promise kept.”

The Story of
Lizzie and Lily

Lizzie and Lily were rescued as piglets from a large factory farm. Their condition was so dire that an animal rights organization intervened, not expecting them to live but wanting to give them the dignity they deserved. The rescue was controversial and garnered national headlines, leading to a highly publicized trial where the rescuers were ultimately acquitted. Lizzie and Lily found lifelong sanctuary at Luvin Arms where they were given the chance to live the lives they deserve.

Lily’s Legacy

Although Lily’s sanctuary journey ended in May 2023, her legacy endures. Her life and lessons continue to resonate within the community, reminding us of the impact one small creature can have on human hearts and minds. Her story is a poignant reminder of the lives affected by our choices and the importance of advocating for those without a voice.

We named the society in honor of both Lizzie and Lily. Their stories are about survival, inspiring change, and nurturing hope.
