Our Animals

For some of our animals we are a temporary soft landing spot, a safe place to get well and they will hopefully find a forever loving home. Others will live their days at the rescue being loved and cared for by our volunteers. These are some of our animal’s stories.

Elsa and her puppies

Elsa was an unwanted Christmas present. We believe she is a Pyrenees poss. Lab cross. A friend took her in but couldn’t keep her with 2 other dogs and other things going on like new house and new job. January 18th, 2024 she gave birth to 4 beautiful puppies. she had 2 boys and 2 girls. Our volunteers agreed to name them after exotic rare cars. The 2 boys are named Rolls Royce Phantom and Drakan Spyder. The two girls are Lotus and Pantera. Elsa will stay at the rescue with our other Pyr and be trained to protect our rescued farm animals from any potential predators.

Pantera after being spayed will be available for adoption. She’s been an outside dog. Unfortunately her prey drive is too high to be a Livestock Guardian. Best for 1 dog household as she has had spats with her sister and her mother from time to time. Unknown how she is with other dogs. High energy will need fenced yard with fences min 6′. She has jumped our cattle panel fence which is 4.5′. No cats or small animals in houshold. How she is with kids unknown.

Update

Lotus and Draken have been adopted. Phantom adoption pending. Pantera will be available after spaying.

Rufus

Rufus’ previous owner thought she was doing what was best for him. She took him in to prevent him from going to the shelter. Unfortunately him being a larger playful puppy and her being up in age didn’t mix. He is a Pyrenees mix. She reached out to many places for help. No one had the room for sweet Rufus. He would ultimately end up at the local shelter as an owner surrender. The shelter was full and owner surrenders are the first on the euth list. She saw a post I made about our rescue and reach out to me to save Rufus. How could I say no to that cute face? She also had to leave the state to help a sick family member. Rufus came to the rescue and after a few days I’m happy to report Rufus has been adopted! He was around 6 or 7 months old when he came to us and will now has a bright future ahead of him! We still get to see him daily as one of our supporter’s son adopted him.

Sasha

Sasha is everyone’s favorite. She is an American Bully. She was a puppy when we took her in. Her previous owners were moving and the new place had a limit of 3 dogs they had 4 so they had to give up 1. She has stayed as our Mascott and a great ambassador for the breed. She was adopted by our Board President and trained to be her service dog but unfortunately due to Sasha’s knee issues and hips she was retired early. She will always have a furever home. Sasha puts a smile on everyone’s face she meets. she loves being center of attention and knows when someone needs a hug or some kisses. Her favorite things to do are snoring loudly while sleeping, being goofy, getting attention from everyone and begging for food. One of her funniest traits is she always has her tongue sticking out sleeping and awake.

RIP my sweet angel mommy will miss you dearly. Another life taken too soon ’24.

Woody and Ivy

Woody and Ivy were 2 yr old Quarter Horse Ponies. When their owner was diagnosed with terminal cancer I made a promise to keep them together and take care of them. Their owner has since passed and they have come to stay at the rescue. they have been with us for over almost 2yrs now. They have been started under saddle and hopefully be able to be used in a future therapy and education program.

Brownie

Brownie came to us when we were just starting around 2016. She is now estimated in her late 20s. A good friend of mine gave her to us. She was given to him with her mule baby. She was in rough shape. Now she’s enjoying her retirement. The scar across her muzzle is because her previous owner kept a halter on her all the time and it became too tight.

RIP Brownie passed ’24 enjoying her last days in a large pasture with Woody and Ivy.
Left to right Ellie, Eclipse and Brownie. Ellie was given to us to be pasture mate to Brownie so she wouldn’t be lonely. Unknown to us at the time Ellie was pregnant with Eclipse. 4.5 months later Eclipse was born on the farm. Funny thing is Brownie stole Eclipse and wouldn’t let Ellie near him. We had to build a paddock just for Ellie and Eclipse. Brownie would stand there all day looking over the fence watching Eclipse. Now that Eclipse is older Brownie and him are like 2 peas in a pod, you can always find one by looking for the other.

Clarice

Clarice was the only red Baldie in a herd of black Baldies. a Baldie is an Angus Hereford cross. they are called Baldies because they have white faces while their bodies are usually either red or black. The other cows picked on her when she was a calf. They wouldn’t let her eat and drive her further into the woods. The farmer was worried she’d be attacked by predators. We had Clarice for around 3 years. Adopted!

Tank and Christmas

Tank and Christmas. Tank lost his mother when he was only a couple days old. We had gotten Christmas when she was a few weeks old. It is believed she was a twin and her mother rejected her. She was found all alone in the pasture and no one was claiming her. Both were raised as bottle babies. Both have been Adopted!

Clyde

Clyde’s previous owners decided to go another way and instead of raising goats they were going to raise cattle. All the other goats had found homes but since he is a wether (neutered) he was passed up and would have been all alone. Goats are herd animals. Adopted!

Dracula

Dracula was abandoned as a kitten in a box at a mechanic shop. Thanks to a local non-profit she was spayed and has been with us for over 5 yrs now! She shares a house with one of our other cats Torti who lost her mom due to a dog attack.

Krypto and Spudz

2 Bully Pit Brothers born 7/31/21. Unfortunately Krypto is no longer with us. His brother Spudz will stay at the rescue as we are uncertain if what took krypto too soon from us is hereditary. Spudz us now classified as potential Medical and not up for adoption anymore.

Short stack and Adeline

Short stack and Adeline joined our goat herd. They kept escaping their enclosure and causing considerable damage to the house, property and vehicles. Our fences are a little more secure although they are letting us know where we may have to strengthen them lol.

Star

Star’s family was going through hard times and no fault of her own they unfortunately had to rehome her. Her loving nickname is Stinky poopy puppy. She does not like to disappoint and is a slow learner potty training. She does not know she’s not supposed to dance, play and lay down in her poopy cage. She is getting better and we aren’t going through a pack or 2 of pee pads a day anymore. Some pups are just slow learners. She is very loveable. Star loves to play and give kisses. Her energy knows no bounds and she’s always ready to go. She is approximately 5 or 6 months old. She was spayed March 12, 2024 and after she heals she’ll be ready to go up for adoption. Adopted! 3-31-25 Star went home to her new Furever home. Wishing Star and Tyler luck with their future adventures!

Lady and her 2 pups

LADY was found Oct 2024 with a broken tie out around her neck at a local horse farm. She had her 2 female pups with her. She was held the required stray hold. On March 12th 2024 she was spayed and once she recovers will be up for adoption! Her 2 daughters now named Jolene and Sophia are going to be spayed April 2nd. Lady is estimates to be 2.5yrs old and her pups are now around 6 months old the sad thing is the vet believes Lady broke both her upper canines freeing herself and her pups from the tieout cable. It is obvious she’s been an outside dog all he life and will require a special loving family to adopt her.

Now Microchipping with Fi Nano !!!

We were approved 3/5/24 for the Fi Nano 501c3 shelter and rescue program to help rescued dogs get microchipped. Now all dogs entering our rescue and up for adoption will be microchipped. The great thing about their program is if the owners of our adopted animals cannot be reached in event their pets are lost our nonprofit will be secondary emergency contact and they would reach out to us. This will hopefully help any lost pets have that extra security blanket helping them find their way home.

If you would like to donate a microchip scanner to our rescue I have made a Wishlist of cheap ones to keep in the vehicle for rescue calls and slightly more expensive ones that fellow rescues use in their offices. With this scanner we’d be able to scan any strays or rescues for a microchip and if they have one help them get back to the ones they love. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/KFCRAPXLYX6N?ref_=wl_share
