Gifts That Make a Difference
Thanks to our incredible supporters, our shelter just got a major upgrade. A fancy new faucet with a sprayer handle arrived from our Amazon wishlist, perfect for washing kittens in the vet room. Small gifts like this make a huge difference in our daily work, letting us care for our animals more efficiently and comfortably.
Meet Rocky and Daisy
We welcomed Rocky, a sweet 16-year-old horse, for evaluation. Although he is not fully trained, his gentle demeanor promises a bright future with the right guidance.
Meanwhile, we are slowly earning the trust of Daisy, a nervous horse we are introducing to halter training and human interaction. Seeing her finally take a treat from a volunteer’s hand was a magical milestone and proof that patience and love really do work wonders.
Shelter Improvements and Technology Upgrades
Our team is hard at work making the shelter safer and more comfortable for our horses. We are cleaning out old hay, prepping shelters for winter, and planning to pour concrete under feeding areas to keep the horses out of mud. The county also recently fixed the dirt road leading to our shelter, giving us smooth access for horse trailers and daily operations.
Behind the scenes, technology upgrades are helping us work more efficiently. Thanks to Red Giant, we now have software that streamlines video editing, allowing us to spend more time caring for the animals. These improvements make a real difference every day.
Healthy, Happy Horses
Our July auction rescue horses are thriving. In just a few weeks, the 10 horses in quarantine collectively gained 550 pounds. Every horse left quarantine healthier and stronger, with some even ready for adoption. Freedom, a little chestnut pony, gained 35 pounds and is now perfectly healthy for his future home. Watching these horses flourish is the best reward for our hard work and dedication.
From generous donors to our hardworking volunteers, everyone plays a role in these rescue stories. Each treat, tool, and thoughtful gift brings us one step closer to giving our horses the happy, healthy lives they deserve.
Join us in celebrating these heroes, both human and equine, and stay tuned for more updates from Horse Plus Humane Society.
