Wednesday morning Tawnee and Russ were heading out to assist Animal Control on a case involving a wild horse. It was a bit of a drive but very uneventful, which is always a good thing. Finally they arrived and met with Animal Control. A horse had been abandoned on some people’s property, so they called […]

Tuesday morning the 7 roosters who were not shown being surrendered on Sunday were all settled in.  They all enjoy their crowing chorus every morning.  We believe the little guy in the front is the chorus director. The Alpacas are turning out to be great desensitizers for some of the horses.  Most of the horses […]

Monday morning Russ was busy feeding and caring for the animals.  He had a bucket of cracked corn for the chickens, and seeing no large animals in sight, he set it down.  He came back a few minutes later and found Parcey devouring the corn. Parcey had a guilty look with his mouth full of […]

Monday morning volunteers Jim and Laura were heading out to attend an auction and pick up an owner surrender.

From time […]

Russ got […]

Thursday morning a big truck and trailer was backing up to the big barn.  All the critters at the shelter would have been excited if they knew what was inside. When they were finished backing up the doors were opened and 12.5 tons of cubes were unloaded with the walking floor. Before long they were […]

Wednesday Layla had a potential adopter coming out to look at her. Layla did her best to impress her potential mom with all the things she has learned at the shelter.  She even showed off that tarps are not scary at all!  All of Kirsty’s hard work really did good as Layla wasn’t really halter […]

Tuesday morning found Russ reaching out of the break room window.  He had been eyeing some grapes that were growing right out the window, and today was harvest day. They looked great and tasted absolutely delightful.  He enjoyed sharing them with the other staff too.  What a wonderful treat. It was vet day and we […]
