We hope you all had an absolutely wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.  Our staff all enjoyed having the holiday week off, but sadly most of them came back sick.  We know that soon everyone will be well once again.  It just makes getting caught up just a little bit slower when folks are under the weather.

Sunday morning at the shelter was so beautiful, and thankfully it was not raining.  It seems like every Sunday recently it has been raining or trying to rain.

The group of 10 abandoned horses were enjoying their breakfast.  They have all settled in nicely.  They are now legally cleared for adoption and…

…they are now posted on the available page with the names that you Facebook fans have chosen.  They’re all friendly, but the young ones are not halter trained.  To see them on the available page, click here.

Hershey, who has been with us for a few months, is definitely getting a rounder tummy.  We thought she may be pregnant when we got her, but now it appears to be getting further along.  Next spring we should have a baby!

Buddy’s potential mom came out to play with him some more today.  Some of you may remember him as the skinny, scrawny little guy from the first group that came in from the Mexican border.

He is doing better these days, and is much happier now that his adoption papers have been signed!  He is going home as soon as he goes to the vet to be checked out.

Buddy’s mom also adopted Mulen.  Both will be going home soon!

Hannah had some visitors today, and the whole family really fell in love with her.  They placed her in adoption pending, submitted their adoption application multiple times (just an fyi, apparently the adoption application puts up an error, but we are getting them, our webmaster will work on this problem ASAP) and are in the process of being approved.

Christopher’s potential adopters also came out to see him as well. He is in adoption pending, and as soon as the application is processed, he should be going home as well.

It was a very busy Sunday with lots of folks coming out to see the horses.  2 adoptions, 2 adoption holds, you can’t ask for a better Sunday!

Today’s eBay giving Works item is a USG German Dressage bridle, new in the box.  It is currently only $119 and 10% of the sale price goes to help the horses!  Click here.
