🎃🐷 HALLOWEEN IS COMING 🐷🎃

The spooky season is almost here, and we’d love a little Halloween magic for the animals!

As the weather gets colder, we’re looking for a few things to keep them happy, cozy, and entertained!

• Straw bales to help keep them warm and comfortable.
• Uncarved pumpkins for some delicious seasonal enrichment!
•Treats to spoil the crew with a little extra love.
• Canvas for our ongoing needs and projects.

Every donation, big or small, makes a huge difference!

We’re also looking for a kind, dedicated person who might be willing to help us manage our social media and donation requests!

Running an animal rescue is a HUGE job, and between caring for our animals, managing daily chores, and keeping everything running, there simply aren’t enough hours in the day!

We’d love to find someone who can help us share our stories, spread the word about our needs, connect with our amazing supporters, and help bring in the donations that keep our rescue going.

If you have a knack for social media, enjoy writing posts, connecting with people, or helping a good cause, we would LOVE to hear from you!

Whether you can donate supplies, share this post, or lend a helping hand, YOU can make a difference!

Please message us if you can help or know someone who might be interested!

From all of us, thank you for being part of our village. We couldn’t do this without you! ❤️🐷

Oh, to be a senior chicken who needs a little a little TLC🐔
Kirsten was one our very first feathered residents and I am obsessed with this teeny lady. She gets special access to the house at times, as well as a lift service that takes her ALL over the farm 😂 (me)

We are seeking donations for winter of blankets, building supplies, and more! Any help is greatly appreciated ❤️

A sneaky mom hatched some ducklings a few weeks ago , she does a very good job at keeping them safe.
Did you know, Muscovies are fantastic parents!

Thank you SO much to everyone who came by yesterday to hang out with the animals. It was the best way to celebrate my birthday and all we do here.
If anyone is ever interested in scheduling a visit to the farm please send us a message.

Im so proud of what I have accomplished despite challenges ive faced in my 31 years of life. To look around here and see so many happy animals, and to get to see so many happy humans, is an unmatched feeling that you just have to be a part of to understand.

Thank you Dandelions 💛🐖

🌼 A LITTLE UPDATE FOR OUR DANDELIONS! 🌼

We’re often asked how you can help support the animals here at Dandelion Acres, so we wanted to share a couple of ways you can lend a hand! 🐷🐶🐱🐰🐔🦆🐐

💛 We now have a Patreon!
If you’d like to support the rescue, you can make either a one-time donation or a recurring monthly donation. Every single contribution, big or small, helps us continue providing food, care, medical needs, shelter, and lots of love to the animals who call Dandelion Acres home. 🌼

👉 Support us on Patreon

https://patreon.com/Dandelion_Acres?utm_medium=unknown&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink&utm_source=chatgpt.com

🛒 We also have an Amazon Wishlist!
We try our best to keep it updated with things we’re currently needing around the rescue. If you’d rather donate an item directly, this is a great way to do so!

👉 Our Amazon Wishlist

https://www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/ls/2JZF8IOH2OVJ2?ref_=wl_share&utm_source=chatgpt.com

And of course, we always happily accept donations of things like blankets, dog beds, food, towels, and other supplies that can be put to good use around the farm. ❤️

We are incredibly grateful for every person who supports Dandelion Acres in any way. Whether you donate, share our posts, bring supplies, volunteer, or simply cheer our animals on from afar, you are part of our Dandelion family. 🌼

And speaking of our Dandelions… 👀💛

We’re SO excited to see so many of you at our upcoming Open House! Come spend the afternoon with us, meet the animals, get some cuddles, and enjoy a little farm time. 🐷🥰

We can’t wait to see you there! 🌼

Thank you for helping us continue to give these animals the life they deserve. ❤️

PSA to our dandelions! 🌼 🐷
It is with great sadness that we announce we did not make it to the Hope for Wildlife Open house. As I, (Jessica ) smashed my head on the metal fence and cut it open pretty deep last night around 11PM.
We are so sorry to everyone who was hoping to see us!
We will have an open house of our own to make up to our dandelions.

Thank you,
