GRACE... Left at an auction and brought to me still being bottle fed (more than 7 years ago!)

SADIE... Sadie was a Christmas gift. She was then dropped off at the shelter 2 days later.

GRETCHEN... Was to be sold at a meat auction, her eyes told us different.

WILLIE... Willie Pete is by all intents, a dairy goat. He however is "less" desirable than a female for milking! Male dairy goats do not have that great of luck unless people realize they still make GREAT pets!

LUCY AND DESI... Domestic geese let loose to be wild after owners were bored with them. Lucy was the last survivor of a flock of 40 being killed by neighborhood dogs. Desi was found on the river not knowing how to "be wild".

STAR... Star was a part of the mounted police along time ago. After program was ended he found a wonderful home. Star's owner was killed in a car crash. He is still timid to this day I believe from missing her. He shows no confidence of a police horse, but all the love of a pet!

RILEY... Riley was a client's dog who was impulsively purchased over the internet. Riddled with "issues" I was asked to "foster" and find him a home. Realizing more to the issues than anyone could imagine we were faced with a horrible truth of his genetic disorders due from being a puppy mill dog. We have always rescued but Riley is the inspiration for more... lots more... and EDUCATION!!! RIP Riley ♥

OSCAR... Oscar was a wonderful Christmas surprise. He had been purchased as a lead horse for a team of Clydesdales but was too "lazy" to pull his weight. We were able to get him for a very reasonable fee instead of him going to auction.

LUKE... Luke was found surviving off a deer carcass in the woods. Over 40 ticks were pulled off of him and he was treated for Lyme disease. We tried to adopt him out 2 times and was returned for "wild" behavior... he's a permanent resident now... and not so wild.

MEZZI... Mezzi was found in the hood of our car. She made it into the side panel. We never made it to work but we did finally get the car back together.

SIR... Sir is our newest love to the sanctuary. Thought to be one of our own but showing up with some "extra baggage"... He is now "baggage free" and staying!
