Forgive us, it had to be done but he still looks so very adorable don’t you think? #pony #horserescue
Eko is home, and all feels right again. We sent Eko for extra rehab to an increfible trainer. He’s been gone 4 long months but the reunion has been oh so sweet. Eko is now free to do what we knew he was created for and that is simply to be loved and enjoy constant cuddles. You can’t pass by him without giving him a scratch, pat or hug. He loves kisses and exchanging breath, it’s the most calming and sweet experience. Welcome home sweet boy, welcome to your forever! #animalsanctuary #horserescue #donkey #whitedonkey

Our trainer was Vanessa Shultz with Lupine Horsemanship, it won’t let us tag her but we want to give a shout out to her for all her hard work helping Eko come out of his shell!
Every year we anxiously await the dragonflies arrival to our farm. As you can see they busy themselves eating all the pesky flies and gnats. Dragonflies are mother nature’s blessing to horse farms ❤️🐴❤️ #animalsanctuary #horserescue #dragonflyseason #dragonfly

The newest additions to our duck flock Bonnie and Clyde and Blue’s 3 precious babies all enjoying the “kiddy pool” section of the pond and pasture. It makes sense for Blue to limit her ducklings to the shallows but many people are surprised to learn how cautious Pekin ducks are. Bonnie and Clyde do enjoy swimming but it is limited to their personal pools and the shallows of the pond as an act of preservation. Pekin ducks can’t fly and their bright white feathers make them easy pickings for predators, they are highly domesticated breed with few survival skills so staying in “safe zones” is how they do it! #ducks #ducklings #animalsanctuary

We moved the herd from the farm pastures to the green pastures of our 50 acre ranch for spring and summer. It was a long fall and winter but it was worth it to create this patch of paradise! #animalsanctuary #horserescue
Pigs-1 Goats -0 - The goats were so excited anout the fresh straw but while they were out playing that day the pigs were hard at work stealing it all to make their beds grander.😆😂 #rescuepigs #animalsanctury #farmlifebestlife #goats #
We had plans to keep little Jasper (a sick mini-donkey we rescued a few weeks ago with Chief who sadly couldn’t overcome his illness and passed after just 6 days here with us.) When that door closed another opened and we had the opportunity to rescue another donkey we’ve named Eko, which means strong and resilient. Eko is only 2 and though he needs some weight on him we have hopes he has a long beautiful life ahead of him. Welcome to saftey, love and light Eko, welcome to your forever. #animalsanctuary #rescuedonkey #horserescue #killpenhorses #whitedonkey
Sebastian is the latest addition to our farm family and we can’t wait to share him with our community, he is the sweetest most level headed puppy who’s sole desire is to be in someone’s lap. He’s a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and after undergoing training he will be used for therapy visits both at the farm and offsite. Welcome to your forever Sebastian ❤️❤️❤️ #cavalierkingcharlesspaniel #animalsanctuary #animaltherapy
