Danny's Farm on Wheels

Danny's Farm, which recently moved from Altadena to the in South Pas, could soon be a traveling zoo with upcoming plans to make the program mobile.
Founded by Altadena residents Cathy Gott and her husband and former Dodgers pitcher, Jim Gott, it was designed to cater to autistic children.
The animals were in January after county officials informed them their property was not properly zoned to host the facility. Yet the family was unable to relocate their bigger animals to South Pas.
