Lily's Ranch and Rescue

11/26/2025

One year ago, we walked onto one of the most heartbreaking properties we had ever seen. A home abandoned… and left behind were hundreds of dogs, cats, and pigs. Many had already starved or frozen to death in the bitter cold. The ones who were still alive were barely hanging on. When rescuers first discovered the horror inside that home, they immediately began feeding the survivors until a full team could be assembled. And when we arrived… we found the pigs. They were drowning in deep mud and their own waste. They had been stuck together for who knows how long feral, terrified, and inbreeding just to survive. Their bodies were sick, their eyes were hopeless, and their spirits were almost gone. We knew right then we couldn’t leave a single one behind. We worked tirelessly, for hours on end, to remove all 13 pigs from that nightmare. Another rescue stepped in and saved the dogs and cats before we arrived, and we will forever be grateful for them. Our job was to save these pigs every last one. The reality was devastating: each pig was extremely ill from living in filth for so long. But with our incredible vet team, 11 of them pulled through. Two little boys were so severely in**ed and suffering that we had to make the heartbreaking decision to let them go peacefully. They had known nothing but pain in life, and we made sure their passing was surrounded by love. But today one year later we celebrate the 11 lives who survived. Happy, healthy, thriving pigs who root in fresh hay, sunbathe, play, and finally know what safety feels like. They have a family. They have a home. They have peace. And we couldn’t have done any of this without you. Your support, your donations, your prayers they made this rescue possible. Happy 1 Year Anniversary to our piggy crew. We are so proud of you, so grateful for you, and so honored to give you the life you always deserved. Thank you for believing in us. Thank you for believing in them.

It’s Hay Day at Lily’s Ranch & Rescue! If there’s one thing every horse here agrees on… it’s that hay day is the BEST day! With winter settling in and our pastures no longer growing, hay has become the heart of every meal and every warm belly. Right now, we’re going through about 2 round bales per week in EACH pasture, which means:
➡️ 8 round bales every week
➡️ $400 in just hay… every single week
Hay isn’t just food it’s warmth. As the temperatures drop, keeping their bellies full helps keep their bodies warm. And for almost all of our animals, who have known hunger before coming here, a consistent, overflowing hay supply is everything. We promised each of them they would never go without again, and with your help, we keep that promise. Thank you for helping us keep the barn stocked, the pastures filled, and every animal warm and content this winter. ❤️

As we prepare for Giving Tuesday, we want to take a moment to reflect on just how far Lily’s Ranch & Rescue has come this year. In 2024, we were able to save 76 lives… dogs, horses, cows, pigs, and more! Some came from the auction pipeline, some from heartbreaking neglect cases, some were feral, and others were surrendered by owners who could no longer care for them. Each one of those 76 animals now has safety, love, and a future because of this community. This Giving Tuesday, our main focus will be paying down our large animal vet balance, with the hope of finally getting it completely paid off. Our vet team has been by our side through emergencies, critical rescues, and long nights fighting for lives supporting them is supporting every animal in our care. We are also hoping to raise enough to continue providing the daily feed, hay, bedding, and medical care needed for the 150 animals who call Lily’s Ranch & Rescue home. Every dollar truly makes a difference in their everyday comfort and survival. Please remember us this Giving Tuesday, December 2. Thank you for the love, care, and support you’ve shown all year long. We couldn’t do any of this without you our animals are here today because of YOU. ❤️🐴🐄🐐🐷

Good morning, friends! If you need a little something to brighten your day, our piglets have you covered. These tiny nuggets keep growing bigger and stronger every single day and somehow they just keep getting cuter, too. Rescue work can be exhausting, but moments like this make every early morning and late night worth it. So here’s your daily dose of joy from our barn to your screen. We hope their little snouts and happy squeaks add a smile to your morning. Have a beautiful day, and thank you for loving our babies as much as we do!

💔 We Need Help… Our Vet Bill Has Reached $4,577.96 💔
This season has tested us in ways we never could have prepared for. We pour our hearts, time, and wallets into every animal who comes through our gates but right now, we are overwhelmed.In just a short stretch of time, we have faced heartbreak after heartbreak. We first had to say goodbye to our sweet Delilah, whose brave battle with cancer came to an end. Helping her cross peacefully was the last act of love we could give her. Soon after, we rushed Angel into emergency treatment after saving him from slaughter. We tried everything, but despite all efforts, we lost him too. His time with us was heartbreakingly short, but he left knowing love and dignity. And most recently, we fought alongside Athena for days as she battled colic. She fought so hard. We fought so hard. But in the end, her body couldn’t keep up, and we had to say goodbye leaving behind another wave of emergency vet bills. This $4,578 balance is just for our large animal vet. It does not include the extensive care for our sweet Bailey, who recently underwent surgery to repair his pelvis another massive expense we’ve taken on to ensure he can live a pain free life. This also doesnt include our recent visit to UT for spot. We desperately need help to pay this down. Not only for our animals, but for our incredible vet team a team that always shows up for us, day or night, without hesitation. Carrying a balance this high puts a strain on that relationship, and we never want financial burden to stand between an animal and the care they need. If you can help even a little it would mean the world to us, to our animals, and to the future lives we’ll save.
❤️ Ways to Help:
• Donate directly toward our vet bill
• Share this post
• Send prayers, love, and support
Thank you for standing with us through the heartbreak. We cannot do this alone.

Last week was also a rough week. We lost this precious girl, Miss Duchess. She has been with the Sanctuary many years. She lived a pretty stressful life not the best taken care of before coming to live with us. She was blind and scared of everything and just the last few months she went to one of our foster families to live with their mini and they were inseparable. Unfortunately, she lost a battle to what we believe may have been cancer. She was an older girl
Miss  Duchess we will see you later over the rainbow. We sure miss you beautiful girl.
