Lily's Ranch and Rescue, 346 Harris Road, Bowling Green, KY (2025)

04/23/2025

Meet Stormy, a beautiful 35-year-old paint mare who just joined our growing senior herd here at Lily’s Ranch and Rescue. Stormy was a one-owner horse her entire life loved, cherished, and well-cared-for every step of the way. When her owner’s health began to decline, she made the incredibly selfless decision to reach out to us to ensure Stormy would continue to be safe and loved. Now, Stormy will get to live out her golden years surrounded by new friends, endless care, and all the love in the world. Our senior group keeps expanding, and we couldn’t be more honored to give horses like her a peaceful and happy retirement. Welcome home, sweet girl. We’re so happy to have you.

A Heavy Week at the Ranch. This past week has brought heartache to Lily’s Ranch and Rescue, and we wanted to share with you—our extended family—the losses we’ve faced. We said goodbye to one of our beloved senior pigs, Miss Daisy. She had been showing signs of slowing down, and after a thorough vet exam, we discovered she was battling a very large ovarian tumor. Despite our efforts, Miss Daisy peacefully lost her battle. She was gentle, wise, and full of love. Her absence leaves a hole in our hearts and in the herd she called home. We also had our vet out to check on Sedona, one of our rescue horses who was expecting. Sadly, due to the intense stress brought on by the recent storm, Sedona lost her foal. While we mourn the loss of her baby, we are deeply grateful that Sedona is healthy and recovering well. Her strength through it all is a testament to the resilience of these animals we fight so hard for. Rescue comes with so much joy, but also heartbreak. We’re reminded in moments like these why your support means so much it helps us give them everything they need, from beginning to end, with love, dignity, and care. Thank you for being part of their journey.

What We’ve Faced Since January 1st. It’s only April, but 2025 has already tested us in every way imaginable. Since the start of the year, Lily’s Ranch and Rescue has pushed through some serious numbers to care for our 150 animals and we’re still standing thanks to our incredible supporters. Here’s a look at what we’ve gone through in just over three months:
• 72 round bales of hay
• 150 straw bales for clean, warm bedding
• 1,800 lbs of dog food
• 3,000 lbs of fresh produce for our pigs, goats, and other veggie lovers
• 15,000 lbs of grain
• 25 animal intake requests more than we could ever dream of accommodating
• $3,600 in farrier and vet care to keep our rescues healthy and comfortable
Every pound of feed, every bale of straw, and every vet bill represents an animal who is safe and loved because of this rescue. But the truth is we can’t do this alone. We rely on the generosity of our community to keep going. If you’ve donated, shared, or supported us in any way, thank you. If you’re able to give, now is the time. Every dollar helps us feed, house, and heal animals who would otherwise have nowhere else to go. Thank you for standing by us. We couldn’t do it without you.

Since Wednesday, it hasn’t stopped raining. Our fields are flooded, the ground is saturated, and everything is soaked. We are doing everything we can to keep our animals safe and while they are all physically okay they are wet, cold, and standing in mud. We simply don’t have enough dry bedding. Straw is their only relief something soft, dry, and warm to rest on and right now, we’re desperate for it. Each bale is just $5.50, but with nearly 150 animals in our care, that adds up fast and the rain just won’t let up. If you can help, even with the cost of one bale, it would mean the world to us or if your local with straw donations we’ll take any help. Every donation brings comfort, warmth, and hope to animals who’ve already endured so much. Our animals would be so grateful if you please share, donate, or spread the word just sharing our post helps our animals!

The worst of the storm has finally passed, and we are so grateful to report that all of our animals (and humans!) are safe just a little soggy. The ranch is still dealing with heavy flooding and ongoing electrical storms, but our resilient crew is making the best of it. In fact, some of the animals are thoroughly enjoying what we’re calling the “new pond expansion”! Unfortunately, with all the flooding, we’ll need to replace all of our straw bedding to keep everyone safe and dry. This storm also showed us that we desperately need additional shelters to keep our animals safe in extreme weather. We are beyond thankful for your thoughts, prayers, and support. If you’d like to help us recover from this storm, donating toward fresh bedding or future shelters would mean the world to us, we are all in this together! Stay safe out there, and we’ll keep you updated as we dry out!

⚠️ Tornado Risk Ahead – Keep Your Animals Safe! ⚠️

Severe weather is heading our way, and we want to remind everyone to stay prepared—especially when it comes to keeping animals safe during a tornado. At Lily’s Ranch and Rescue, we’re taking all the precautions we can to protect our nearly 150 rescues, and we ask that you keep us in your thoughts as we weather the storm.

Tips for Keeping Animals Safe in a Tornado:
✅ Secure a Safe Shelter – A sturdy barn, garage, or basement is best. If sheltering isn’t an option, provide the most secure enclosure possible.
✅ Don’t Leave Halters On – Halters can get caught on debris, causing injuries.
✅ Prepare Emergency Supplies – Keep extra feed, water, medication and medical supplies on hand
✅ When moving our pet out in the weather be sure to use leashes and leads as unpredictable weather can startle even the best behaved pet

We are doing everything we can to keep our animals safe during this storm, but these events are unpredictable. If you’re able, please send us and all animals in the storm’s path your thoughts and prayers. Stay safe, everyone! Let us know how you’re preparing and if you need any advice. ❤️ ’sRanchAndRescue

Always important to have safety plans for you and your pets! Stay safe

A year ago this week, Miss Piggie was supposed to be on a journey to a new home. I was just her transport, taking her from St. Louis to Paducah, where another rescue was waiting. But when I arrived, no one showed up. I waited two hours, making call after call…nothing. So I turned around and drove home, knowing in my heart that she was now part of Lily’s Ranch and Rescue.
She arrived in heartbreaking condition. Miss Piggie was so obese she could hardly even stand. She was covered in sores from trying to stand on her own tummy, unable to move, trapped in a body that had been neglected for far too long. We honestly didn’t think she’d survive.
But she did.
Over the past year, she has lost nearly 100 pounds, transforming into the strong, resilient pig she was always meant to be. Today, she walks, she plays, and she enjoys her life in a way we never thought possible. But there’s still one last hurdle in her journey, her excess skin. The weight loss has left her with so much loose skin that it limits her mobility, holding her back from truly living the way she deserves. We want to give Miss Piggie the final gift of freedom…a “tummy tuck” to remove the excess skin and let her move without struggle. But this procedure isn’t cheap, and we need your help to make it happen. Miss Piggie has already beaten the odds once. Let’s help her cross the finish line. If you can donate, no matter how small, you’ll be giving her the chance to live the life she fought so hard for.

We’ve been working hard to make life even better for our rescued animals! Our pig enclosure just got a major upgrade—now with more space to run, root, and even a pond for them to splash and wallow in! They are absolutely loving it! Meanwhile, our cows have moved to a new section of our property, giving them more pasture to graze and explore. Watching them roam freely in their new space has been so rewarding. We even welcomed three new cows, they are getting used to their new home and I’m sure our cows will welcome them into the herd. Every improvement we make is thanks to your support! ❤️ ’sRanchAndRescue

Spring Cleaning at the Ranch! 🌿☀️
The Spring has arrived, and at Lily’s Ranch and Rescue, that means it’s time for some serious spring cleaning! Our sanctuary is not just a home for nearly 150 rescued animals—it’s a safe haven, and keeping it that way takes a lot of work. Owners Laurie and Trey Beattie are the backbone of this rescue, dedicating every single day to making our ranch a beautiful, secure place for all who call it home. We focused on removing dangerous metal left behind by previous owners, clearing thorn-covered trees, and doing everything we can to ensure our animals have a safe, clean environment. Every bit of this work is done with love and dedication, and we couldn’t do it without the support of our amazing community.
