🌿🐓 A HUGE Thank You to Our Incredible Helpers! 🐐🌻

This week (and every week!), our hearts are full of gratitude for the amazing volunteers and the incredible kids who come out to help on the farm. 💪💚 Whether you're mucking stalls, gathering eggs, brushing horses, hauling hay, filling waters, or just spending time loving on the animals—your kindness, hard work, and laughter make this sanctuary feel like home.

Watching the younger generation show up with so much heart and compassion gives us so much hope for the future. You’re not just helping the animals—you’re part of their healing journey. And ours too. 🥹

From all of us—two-legged and four-legged alike—thank you. You are part of something special here, and we’re so lucky to have you in the sanctuary family. 🌞

🌿‼️ FOOD SCRAPS NEEDED – HELP US RESTOCK! ‼️🌿

Thanks to the AMAZING students at Southwest School in Torrington, over 8,000 pounds of edible food scraps were collected and donated to our animals this past year! 🤯💚

But now that school is out for summer, our supply has run low—and we’re down to our last bags of backup freezer scraps! 😬 We’re calling on our wonderful community to help keep the animals full and happy! 🐖🐐🐓

💡 How You Can Help:

Start a “SCRAPS” bag in your freezer! It’s easy and impactful:

🍞 Bread ends, toast crusts, day-old baked goods

🍎 Fruit past its prime

🥕 Veggie trimmings or extras

🌽 Corn cobs from your BBQ (yes—even already eaten ones!)

🥣 Leftovers that aren’t worth saving

Every animal benefits:
🐐 Goats, 🐄 cows, 🐓 chickens & 🐖 pigs LOVE bread and fruit
🐇 Bunnies, chickens & the baby 🐣 chicks thrive on fresh veggies

🐽 Our pigs eat just about anything—except 🍋 lemons, raw 🌶 peppers & raw 🥔 potatoes (we bake those before serving!)

📍 Scrap Drop-Off Info:

Drop your frozen scrap bags any time in the black bins with yellow lids outside our lower red barn at the sanctuary!

Your donations help offset feed and veterinary costs—which are constantly growing!

💜 Why It Matters:

We’re full-time workers in addition to running this sanctuary out of pure love and commitment to these animals. If you’ve already been saving for us—THANK YOU. You’re helping keep dozens of animals healthy, happy, and fed. 🙏

Please be patient with reply times—we’re hands-on around the clock and deeply grateful for your support!!

🛠 Other Ways to Help:

Collect & donate food scraps

Sponsor a permanent resident (fully or partially!)

🌾 HELP US FILL THE LOFT 🌾
Hey friends and neighbors! 🤍

We’re gearing up for this year’s Fill the Loft Fundraiser and we need YOUR help—because right now, we’re only at a quarter full... and unfortunately, we won’t be able to make any more hay this summer. That leaves us about 800 bales short! 😞

We’re already dipping into our winter supply to feed the goats, cows, pigs, chickens, and rabbits.
With double the mouths to feed compared to last winter, it’s a challenge we can’t face alone!

💭 Got Ideas? We’re All Ears!

What kind of merch would you love to see to help support the sanctuary?
🎨 New T-shirts or sweatshirts?
🧢 Custom hats, backpacks, or lunchboxes?
🧦 Sanctuary socks🤪 or keychains with your favorite animals?
✨ A fresh new logo or more color/style options?

We want to create fun, meaningful items that YOU are excited to wear and share—while helping us feed the herd.

🐾 HOW TO HELP NOW:

💸 Donate directly:
Venmo:
PayPal:
DonorBox: donorbox.org/pinney-stables-sanctuary-donations

💌 Prefer cash/check? We can arrange a drop-off at the farm—just reach out!

Every donation, idea, and share helps us keep hay in the loft and love in the barn. 💜 Thank you for being part of the Pinney Stables family.

There's something so rewarding in knowing that our efforts and sacrifices are providing a safe home to these sweet girls and all the animals who call this sanctuary home❤️

In alot of our cases we're just a rest stop; a rehab space, a soft landing, an assist in transportation, a place to safely await adoption into happy new homes! Thats not always the case though, some of our rescue animlas are permanent residents and rely on sponors and supporters to cover their costs of living!

We havnt publicly shared all of our rescue stories as some of the situations are privacy sensitive making all of our rescue cases unique- we find the animals NO one else sees, or they find their way to us and we do whats needed to give them a fighting chance! 💜

As these two continue to grow, so does their appetite!! 🤪 With the costs of feed rising, were struggling to keep up with grain and hay!
If you're interested in supporting or partially sponsoring one of these girls, please reach out to us! 🤍

Thank you all for reading and considering! 💝 Please like and share to help bring awareness to some of these sweet babies!

We have Venmo, Donorbox and Paypal!

WARNING GRAPHIC
We aren't sure where the fireworks were coming from lastnight, but our farm animals DID NOT ENJOY them..

Im sharing a graphic picture from a victim of last years fourth of July neighborhood fireworks. I will attemp to cover this photo as it is horrific.. 😳

ANIMALS DO NOT KNOW WHAT FIREWORKS ARE!! ESPECIALLY OUR HORSES!!

Unexpected loud booms and flashing lights cause some of them to feel disoriented and frightened beyond measure. The flashing lights obstruct their ability to navigate their pastures and paddocks-which is what happened to the sweet mare in the photo below.

The loud booming and flashing fireworks affected her ability to see in the field at night time and while she attempted to run back to the safety of her shed, she hit the wire fence and took half of her face off, including 2 chunks of bone.. her rehab was long and extensive.

Last night, someone very local to us, set off fireworks (mortars) which are ILLEGAL in backyard residential neighborhoods.

We LOVE fireworks and cannons.. but NOT in our backyard!!

We were up till ungodly hours making continual rounds and checking our animals for injuries, soothing and reassuring them all that it will pass!

So far, all we've seen are a few minor abrasions on the head of our old goat, who is already on medication and antibiotics at the moment🙃 and our rescue lab who cut her paw trying to escape her yard while out for a p*e break.. Luckily the horses were hunkered down in their yards with plenty of hay to munch on.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider the animals this fourth of July!!

If you'd like to make a difference at Pinney Stables Sancturary, please consider a partial sponsorship to one of our rescues! Or by collecting your food scraps for our pigs and chickens! 🙏

Thanks for reading, stay safe out there this 4th of July!

Rooster update!! 🐓

TWO of these handsome gentlemen are still looking for a lovely flock to call their own!

The boys are currently hanging out in private digs until they can be placed! 🙏

These "rooster dump" cases are becoming more and more frequent, these 5 boys bring our Rooster Rescue number to 14!! 😳
Those poor birds wouldve been torn apart, left to suffer an unimaginable and horrible death.

We do the best we can to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome as many of these abandoned roosters as we can. 💪🐓

Please, please SHARE in hopes to find them loving homes!!

Also note, we still have 2 shy female bunnies looking for their forever homes! They deserve a chance at a loving family too 🤍

06/23/2025

At 11pm last night we saw a post about five young gentleman roosters being dumped off on a back road in Winsted- we knew there was no way they would make it through the night with all of the predators in the area!
We were successfully able to wrangle them up!!
Four beautiful barred rocks, and one gold orpington (we think)
We are currently at our capacity for rooster space, but in the next week we will be seeking new homes for these lovely young men. They are very friendly, just afraid!

If you or anyone you know, has room to welcome a friendly young rooster into their flock, please reach out to us!!

Our hearts are SO full 💓
These two incredibly sweet bunnies found their forever home today with such a friendly and loving family!
Just TWO sweet little girls left looking for a perfect home!!
