Featured Video: Smile TV - The Gentle Barn

Posted on Apr 06, 2017  | Tags: Featured Video
By Ellie Laks, Founder of The Gentle Barn

Smile TV first published this video on Oct 24, 2013. In this video, Ellie and Jay talk about how the animals have changed the lives of the many children and adults who have visited The Gentle Barn. "The Gentle Barn is a wonderful organization that takes in and rehabilitates abused and abandoned animals, then brings in troubled kids and teens to share their healing. It all started when Ellie Laks' parents told her she could have as many animals as she liked when she grew up. Now, she has 170."
