đ We are stretched beyond thin. Those who have been following us know just how heavy the last few weeks have been at Lilyâs Ranch and Rescue. Weâve faced loss, heartache, and a mountain of vet care but through it all, weâve kept fighting for every animal who calls this sanctuary home. We lost sweet Sasha to a tragic choke. We said goodbye to Lily, our beloved draft mule, whose body could no longer carry the pain of years past. We lost Alabama, a horse whose neglect before reaching us was too severe to overcome. Each of them received every ounce of comfort and medical care we could offer until the very end. On Monday, we had five puppies, their mama dog, and the stray pup we call Helo spayed, neutered, and fully vaccinated. Today, our vet returned to neuter two of our newly rescued pigs. She also diagnosed Lexi, our three-legged alpaca, with pneumonia thankfully, we caught it early and with medication sheâs expected to recover quickly. Tammy our senior pig, had a swollen front leg that required treatment, and all six of the new pigs were vaccinated today. Little Don was also examined again for his worsening breathing, and we discovered via ultrasound that his heart valves are leaking. The summer heat has worsened his condition, and heâll be starting new medication to manage it. Whiskey and Stetson, our two horses who arrived skin and bones, both had dental work done to help them eat comfortably and begin their healing journey. Tomorrows another day and the vet will be returning to do an emergency xray on spot our baby pig. She will also be doing the final neuter on the new pigs. Every single animal here deserves the very best and we are doing everything we can to give it to them. But we cannot do this alone. The truth is, we donât have a single animal sponsored right now. Not one. We have no monthly donors. Every expense, every emergency, every vet visit we are shouldering on our own. Our vet bills are growing daily, and weâre falling behind. We are begging for help. Please consider becoming a monthly sponsor or making a one time donation. Whether itâs $5 or $500, it truly all adds up and goes directly to helping the animals receive the care they need and deserve. These animals could all use a special someone a sponsor to give to them directly and remind them that they are not forgotten. We donât have big sponsors or flashy funding. We have you our community, our lifeline. Thank you for always showing up. Thank you for helping us carry the weight. These lives are worth it.
