At Lily’s Ranch and Rescue, we care for over 150 rescued animals horses, cows, pigs, goats, alpacas, dogs, cats, and more. Each one comes with a story, a name, and a second chance at life. But with that second chance comes a full belly… every single day. Here’s what a typical day of feeding looks like (not including hay, supplements, or daily medications):
🐷 4 bags of all-stock grain
🐎 1 bag of high-fat horse grain
🐕 1 50lb bag of dog food
🐄 ½ bag of cow grain
🌾 ½ bag of alfalfa pellets
🍼 4 cans of puppy food
🐶 2 cans of dog food
🐱 2 cans of cat food
🍎 1 crate of fresh produce
That adds up to $175 A DAY just to fill the bowls and keep our herd healthy and happy. We also cover all veterinary care and needs of every animal on the ranch. Right now, we’re hoping to raise $700 to help cover the next few days of feed. Can you help us keep the meals coming? One time donations are extremely helpful but we are also looking for monthly sponsors to connect on an even deeper level!
💗 $10 = helps feed a portion of the herd
💗 $25 = supports meals for multiple animals
💗 $50 = goes a long way toward a full day of feed
Your kindness fuels their healing, happiness, and hope. Thank you for standing with the animals of Lily’s Ranch and Rescue. 🐾❤️

Today we said goodbye to Alabama. This really hit home how humans can be so awful. Our vet decided after laying Alabama to rest wanted to see how bad the damage was, pulled out the wire from his leg wound. It had been in there a long while. Most likely a human cut his leg free from the wire and let him go. There was no way to save this guy. Thank you Dr Coleman at Logan Bethel Vet pracitce for helping us with this little guy.
He is free from the pain He had been enduring for so long. You can finally run free! 🌈😢🐎
Lily and all the other animals in heaven we had to let go took you in with open arms.

UPDATE: this little guy who we named Alabama since that’s where we rescued him from does not have a good outcome. We took him to the vet to figure out exactly what’s going on with his foot and it’s heartbreaking.
There’s a piece of Barbwire going through his bone in his lower leg just above his hoof. If someone would’ve found him just a couple weeks prior this could’ve been surgically corrected and potentially a better outcome, instead tomorrow we’re going to lay him to rest and set him free from this outcome he was handed. Humans are truly awful and I hate this for this guy.
Thank you to all who donated towards his medical expenses and his care. He’s gonna live the next 24 hours being spoiled and loved.

Yesterday was a heartbreaking rescue day for our organization. On Monday, while we were saying goodbye to Lily, I received a call regarding a critical case in need of immediate assistance. This horse was located at a Alabama animal control shelter, He had been picked up the previous week as a stray, entrapped in a Barbwire fence. He is suffering from an infection penetrating the bone in his right leg and is in an extremely poor state of health otherwise. I undertook a 4 1/2 hour journey, traversing three state lines, to retrieve him. He is scheduled for veterinary care tomorrow, which will include wound cleaning and x-rays. Please consider sponsoring his medical expenses, as his treatment will be extensive.

Fourth of July Pet Safety Tips

While we’re enjoying fireworks and cookouts, our pets may be having a totally different experience—one filled with confusion and fear. Let’s help them stay safe and calm:

• Keep pets indoors during fireworks
• Close windows and curtains to muffle sound and block flashes
• Play calming music or white noise to mask the noise
• Consider keeping pets in an interior room with no windows
• Make sure collars and ID tags are up to date
• Skip party snacks—many human foods are toxic to pets

A little planning goes a long way. Celebrate safely—for you and your pets.

Our resilient Lily gained her wings today. We saved her from the local horse auction in January. Despite being beaten down and nearly worked to death, her indomitable spirit remained unbroken. Her feet were the worst we have seen, but her strength inspired us. What we couldn’t fix was her stifles (knees). They were completely worn out and arthritic, yet she persevered with remarkable courage. We chose to get her knee injections last week, but sadly, she didn’t show any signs of relief. We fought hard for
You sweet girl!! RUN FREE SWEET LILY🌈🐎

If you feel inspired to help with her vet bills we would be forever grateful.

A little over a week ago, we welcomed two new rescues Stetson and his friend, who we’ve lovingly named Whiskey. There’s something especially heartbreaking about seeing a mustang like Whiskey. He not only lost the freedom of the wild, but after that, was left behind and neglected. His owner sadly passed away, leaving nothing in place for the care of his horses. When Whiskey arrived, we saw the physical toll of that neglect his halter had been left on for so long that it caused deep, painful wounds across his face. His belly was left empty and he was painfully hungry. And yet, despite all he’s endured, he remains gentle, kind, and trusting. Whiskey, we’re so sorry for what you’ve been through but that chapter is over now. You’re safe. You’re loved. And your healing begins here. Welcome home, sweet boy. 🖤
