($481 out of $300 raised! Thank you!) $5 Farrier Friday! Today the donkeys and horses here will get their mani/ pedis done! Their hooves grow similar to our finger nails and are trimmed every 6 weeks. In the wild, horses and donkeys travel many miles each day and the different terrain naturally files down their hooves.
Domestic horses and donkeys living on flat grass pastures can't file them down naturally so we have a farrier come and do it for them. We need to raise $300 to cover today's costs. If you can help us with their hoof trims, please consider making a tax deductible donation:

($273 raised towards $2,000 goal) Hay you! Last time we posted in need of donations for grain, many of you came together and helped us reach our goal! We need your help again! We need to raise $2,000 for our next hay order! Can you help us feed our residents?! We use 900 pound round bales of hay for the cows. Each round bale cost us $85 each. We also use square bales for our horses, donkeys, goats, sheep, llamas and alpacas. Each square bale costs us $8 a bale! If everyone donated $5 or even just a few dollars for hay today, we would absolutely smash our goal! We need YOUR help! Any contribution towards our goal is helpful and you are making a HUGE difference. Please consider making a tax deductible donation:

($80 raised towards our goal) We think we figured out why we can’t do the // tag in the comments to notify everyone of certain posts. According to google, our page is “too big”. Ironically enough those tags would be helpful since our followers are missing our posts. Did you know you can also turn in notifications on Facebook so you never miss a post? Next to the donate button, hit the button with the three little dots, go down to “following” and select “favorites”, and you will see our posts more often!

Come visit her and the rest of the rescued residents here at our sanctuary every Saturday from 10am-2pm. 229 Newport Rd, Cedarville NJ 08311. Come see what makes this place so special ❤️
(Update: Still no rescue found) ‼️CALLING ALL CAT RESCUES‼️ We know everyone is full, but we just had someone show up and drop these cats off saying they found them and they cannot take them anywhere else because everywhere else is closed right now. They are friendly, Mom and two kittens, are any rescues out there able to help?
Found this tiny friend while walking in one of the fields 🐸💚 We love that our property can be a sanctuary for all that come across it ❤️
We asked for help, and you guys delivered. We went out today and spent $1,105 on grain! We know a large issue is our posts visibility, not enough people are seeing our posts when we ask for help. We can check our post insight and see that even with tens of thousands of people following our pages, sometimes our posts only reach a couple hundred people. You can’t help if you don’t see us asking for help. Thank you to those of you that did see our post and did donate! Thank you to everyone that shared our posts as well! We appreciate you all so much! We thank you. The animals thank you!
Well, we didn’t meet our fundraising goal of $1,000 to buy the grain we needed so we bought just a few bags of each which will get us through a couple days. We don’t want to post fundraisers every day, it’s just out of necessity lately since we’ve been struggling financially. We’ve put all building projects on hold since all our funding needs to go to feed, hay, vet bills and the basic monthly bills to keep the property running. Here’s a video of some of our rescued resident cattle enjoying some fruits and veggies. If you didn’t see the fundraising posts yesterday and would like to help today:

($355 out of $1,000 raised) We are super low on grain. We go through food fast around here, but with 30 pigs, we go through pig grain the fastest, with bird grain as a close second. We like to go make a grain run, of pig grain, bird grain, a few bags of horse grain and alfalfa pellets and some cat food for our barn cats. This trip is priced out to cost us $1000! We would only need 200 of you wonderful friends to donate $5 to help us reach our goal today! If you can donate more, GREAT! If not, please consider donating at least $5 today! We need your help covering this cost. Please help us feed our residents. Please, it definitely takes a village. Whether you can donate $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100 or $1000 you are making a HUGE difference!

The kitty family we are fostering for are absolute love bugs! The momma is so sweet, all she wants is to be held so she can make biscuits on your chest. Her five kittens are adorable and so full of love. They will be available for adoption through ❤️ Here’s one of our founders, Tara, loving on momma cat after she cleaned up after the kitties and fed them all. 🐾
Did you know that when it comes to chickens and ducks we only take in male ducks(drakes) and male chickens(roosters)? Many sanctuaries may have one or a few roosters and one or a few drakes but mostly take in females(hens). We have found that it was more common we were contacted about boys in need of placement, since many places will take in the ladies. We decided to became a bachelor sanctuary, meaning that when it comes to chickens and ducks we only take in males. Roosters can get along peacefully in a bachelor flock when there are no hens around to fight over. Duck mating is very aggressive and is very rough on the ladies. We always had to separate our males and females, we found the males get along better and can also coexist peacefully in a large bachelor flock without the ladies. We are contacted often about hens both chicken and duck, and when we are we either adopt them out to loving homes or work with other sanctuaries to find them placement. ❤️ When getting chickens or ducks please make sure you are zoned for them before you get them.
Stay safe everyone! We are under a tornado watch and severe thunderstorms are expected later today. We made sure all our sanctuary residents are safe and secure to ride out the storm! We are hoping for no major wind damage from this storm. Trees falling on fencing and shelters is a nightmare! Let’s hope all goes well today. We will be checking on the animals as often as it’s safe to do so ❤️
Free adoptions at South Jersey Regional Animal Shelter. Go save a life today!
Shelters everywhere are busting at the seams. We have all heard, “I will only support a no-kiII shelter”. So, what exactly is a no-kiII shelter vs a kiII shelter? A shelter gets the title “no-kiII” when 90% of the animals that enter the shelter leave alive. Whether that’s through lost pet reunions, adoptions, fosters, or going to other rescues.
Animal shelters may euthanize animals for a variety of reasons:
-Health and safety, if an animal is severely ill or injured, or if a disease could spread to other animals or volunteers, euthanasia may be necessary.
-Safety risks, if an animal is aggressive or a danger to the public, euthanasia may be the best option.
-Overcrowding, if a shelter doesn’t have enough space or resources, it may need to euthanize for space.
-Lack of adoptions, if people aren’t adopting as many pets, shelters may feel pressure to euthanize long term animals as their mental state begins to deteriorate in a shelter environment.
-Behavioral issues, if an animal has serious behavioral issues, it may not be suitable for adoption.
Animals from the community end up in an animal shelter for a number of reasons—being surrendered by their owners, being found as strays, or being victims of cruelty. When shelters are below that 90% mark it’s easy to point the finger and be angry that animals are being euthanized but where are these animals coming from?! Our community!
When a shelter is below 90% they need MORE support, not less of it. We can all do a little more to help out.
-Adopt, save another life.
-Foster, help by making room for other animals in need until they find their forever homes.
-If you can’t foster or adopt, donate.
Show your support any way you know how!
Today is our livestock guardian, Friia’s first Birthday! Friia has become such a big part of our sanctuary, working with Odin to keep our sanctuary safe from predators. Friia lives with the goats and donkeys and is extremely bonded to her herd. Although a fierce guardian, is shy with most people. She accepts love from a select few. But she adores her boy John. These two are inseparable anytime John is in her area. She follows him everywhere and lets him love on her. She loves to sneak in slobbery kisses any chance she gets! Happy Birthday baby girl! Thank you for what you do for your herd and our sanctuary ❤️🎉

Despite our best efforts, around the clock care, and the best vet team we could ever ask for…. Our Prince has passed 💔 Known as the Greenwich peacock, he belonged to someone about a decade ago and escaped his enclosure and was never recaptured. He made the historic town of Greenwich his home and has brought beauty to the entire town, visiting everyone in the community from time to time. He was loved by all. Tara’s parents live in Greenwich so we have seen this handsome man roaming the town over the years. We were honored to be able to get to help him when he needed it. This obviously isn’t the outcome we wanted but we are glad he knew love in the end. His wing is no longer painful, and he got to spread his wings and fly high over the rainbow 🌈 🦚 Rest in peace handsome ❤️
Injured Peacock update! He made it through the night! Our vet said yesterday that the next 24 to 48 hours would be crucial. So seeing him bright and alert this morning was wonderful! We cleaned him up, and gave him his pain medication. He has not had an appetite yet, but that is totally understandable after everything went through. We received a couple messages of people asking why he is in a small crate and not in one of our large enclosures yet, we want to limit his mobility during this healing process. When he is all healed up and finishes his quarantine he will be able to join the other birds. You can help us continue to give him a very best possible care by donating below:

Thank you so everyone who has donated so far, it really takes a village ❤️
Peacock update: We are back at the sanctuary with the peacock that was found bloody with a drooping wing. X-rays revealed his wing is broken. He received several staples to close all his open wounds. His beak was cracked and a little piece was broken, the vet actually removed the broken piece of his beak. He was cleaned and all bandaged up! We need to keep him clean while he heals. He’s on pain medication twice a day. His vet bill was $411.97 which was surprising low for an emergency visit! You can help us pay off his bill and help us give him continued care by donating below:

Thank you so everyone who has donated so far. He also needs a name, what should we name him?
We just got to the emergency vet. We were contacted about him after he was found on the side of the road with one wing drooping, and actively bleeding. It is unknown if he was hit by a car or attacked by an animal. One thing that’s for sure is he needs our help. This is an unexpected cost, but we have to help him. Please consider making a donation towards his vet visit. No donation is too small.
So far have raised $15 towards his vet bill.

Phoebe knows when it’s breakfast time 🕗🍽️🏃♀️➡️
In 2021 our sanctuary was asked to take in a English mastiff puppy that due to a birth defect was born blind. Since we are not a dog rescue, we contacted our dear friends at @mamasgonarescue since they are a dog rescue we work closely with, to ask if they can take him. He was only 12 weeks old at the time. They vetted him and found a home for him. Fast forward a couple years and that same rescue contacted us asking if we can foster a large breed special-needs dog who isn’t friendly with most new people he doesn’t know. Since we normally don’t do this sort of thing, we asked her for more information and they told us it was that same puppy that we helped with years ago! Due to his size and the fact that he can be weird with people he doesn’t know, he would be best with someone that had special needs large breed experience. US! So we figured we would try. In his previous home, they had his eyes removed after a vet determined they were painful. When we went to go pick him up to evaluate him, he growled a bit but we started working with him. Through love he was able to let down his guard and let us love him. He bonded quickly to our family. So now we have a blind 180 pound marshmallow. He is standoffish with people he doesn’t know, as most mastiffs are but he has turned out to be an absolutely incredible addition to our sanctuary family ❤️ Happy National Dog Day, Scooby #nationaldogday
Forrest(black sheep) and Nina update: Forrest, our blind sheep and his seeing-eye-sheep best friend, Nina. When Forrest gets anxious or scared he spins in circles. When Nina sees this, she runs over and gives him a little nudge to let him know she is there and he calms down ❤️
We can’t tell if Mika loves the new scratching post or hates it. What do you think?
Madison Update: Although she is still shy, we are making tremendous progress. Her entire life she was incredibly bonded with her human who has passed away. They did everything together. Since pigs are incredibly emotional animals she was understandably devastated when she lost her person. When she first came here, she started to shut down. Change of environment, change in food, and surrounded by people, she did not know. We knew we had our work cut out for us, but that’s what we do! With the help of some incredible, patient volunteers, we have been sitting with her for longer and longer every day so she gets used to us and more comfortable with people. Spoiler alert she did not get up on the bed, but we will try again tomorrow 😊❤️

Well, we didn’t meet our fundraising goal of $1,000 to buy the grain we needed so we bought just a few bags of each which will get us through a couple days. We don’t want to post fundraisers every day, it’s just out of necessity lately since we’ve been struggling financially. We’ve put all building projects on hold since all our funding needs to go to feed, hay, vet bills and the basic monthly bills to keep the property running.

($355 out of $1,000 raised) We are super low on grain. We go through food fast around here, but with 30 pigs, we go through pig grain the fastest, with bird grain as a close second.

Madison update: SHE’S EATING! Pigs are incredibly sensitive individuals. She came to our sanctuary after her human mom passed away. When she first got here a few weeks ago we put some pig grain down for her and she turned her nose up to it. We tried a few different fruits and veggies to entice her to eat but we didn’t have a ton of luck. She would eat apples, watermelon and bananas but THAT’S IT! We tried soaking her grain, no luck. We assumed she was just depressed(understandably so) after losing her mom and still didn’t want to eat. We couldn’t have her eat nothing but bananas, apples and watermelon forever. We decided to call the Newark Humane Society since they worked with the family that originally had Madison. They were able to contact the sons of the woman who had Madison and told us she never had grain, she ate watermelon, apples and celery for breakfast each morning and cooked carrots peppers and onions for dinner as well as table scraps from whatever her mom was eating during the day. No wonder she didn’t want grain, she didn’t know what it was! So how do we fix this? We mixed bananas and grain until it was an oatmeal consistency, through it some chopped apples and BOOM she ate it all up! Each day we add either bananas or applesauce to her grain and add some fruits and veggies to her bowl and she finishes it all! Every day we change the ratio a bit to add more grain and less bananas/ applesauce. But she still gets a good mixture of grain, greens and veggies ❤️
We need volunteers EVERY Friday from 10am-2pm. We need volunteers to scrub and fill water tanks, scoop poop, help with building projects, clean enclosures, help feed everyone etc. No reservations needed to volunteer just come prepared to work and potentially get dirty! ❤️🙌🏼 Fridays 10am-2pm 229 Newport rd, Cedarville NJ 08311

Animal shelters may euthanize animals for a variety of reasons: -Health and safety, if an animal is severely ill or injured, or if a disease could spread to other animals or volunteers, euthanasia may be necessary. -Safety risks, if an animal is aggressive or a danger to the public, euthanasia may be the best option. -Overcrowding, if a shelter doesn’t have enough space or resources, it may need to euthanize for space. -Lack of adoptions, if people aren’t adopting as many pets, shelters may feel pressure to euthanize long term animals as their mental state begins to deteriorate in a shelter environment. -Behavioral issues, if an animal has serious behavioral issues, it may not be suitable for adoption. Animals from the community end up in an animal shelter for a number of reasons—being surrendered by their owners, being found as strays, or being victims of cruelty. When shelters are below that 90% mark it’s easy to point the finger and be angry that animals are being euthanized but where are these animals coming from?! Our community! When a shelter is below 90% they need MORE support, not less of it. We can all do a little more to help out. -Adopt, save another life. -Foster, help by making room for other animals in need until they find their forever homes. -If you can’t foster or adopt, donate. Show your support any way you know how!
Today is our livestock guardian, Friia’s first Birthday! Friia has become such a big part of our sanctuary, working with Odin to keep our sanctuary safe from predators. Friia lives with the goats and donkeys and is extremely bonded to her herd. Although a fierce guardian, is shy with most people. She accepts love from a select few. But she adores her boy John. These two are inseparable anytime John is in her area. She follows him everywhere and lets him love on her. She loves to sneak in slobbery kisses any chance she gets! Happy Birthday baby girl! Thank you for what you do for your herd and our sanctuary ❤️🎉
