We know it’s still Thursday but we are going to make our $5 Friday plea a bit early this week. A photo of Eleanor for attention as we have no pictures nor have we seen them. We are asking you to take a leap of faith with us. Together we made a huge difference for Eleanor and her kids and to this day she is going strong.

Here’s the scoop: We have been asked to help 3 very elderly sheeples who desperately need a soft landing and loving retirement home. As you know, our love and respect for seniors, of all species is to the moon and back. To give them the absolute best in their final days, weeks, months, hopefully years is a major part of our mission.

If you are up for being a part of their journey you can donate via this post or:

It’s a scavenger hunt in the woods kind of day! This is one of their favorite games to play, especially when it’s hot outside. The cool shade of the woods and snooting around looking for treats does the trick!

Ok, folks. We are finally ready to introduce you to the newest feathered friends!

Introducing- Toby, Stanley, Irene, Darla and Ruth. 💚🦃💚

Toby is the head honcho. Stanley, his right hand man. Both gentlemen love to fluff up those handsome feathers and strut their stuff. Irene is the nosey one. She is always watching and investigating every little thing. Darla is the shy gal. Very curious but tends to hang back and watch from afar. Ruth is super mellow. She just kinda minds her business and was the first to allow quick little head rubs and snuggles. All are settling in perfectly!

All of these wonderful individuals are also Broad Breasted turkeys. Sadly, their bodies will not allow them to live the long happy life they so deserve, but thankfully they are young. Our hope is that by providing a carefully formulated diet and living quarters, they will get the longest, healthiest and happiest life possible!

Running an animal sanctuary/ rescue tends to bring with it daily unexpected occurrences of both good and bad. Making plans or organizing daily tasks goes down the toilet in an instant. Our medical funds have dropped beyond what we are comfortable with. We have yet to reach our fundraising goals for the year and we cannot deny medical treatment. Ever. This year we have had an above average number of medical needs.

Travis just finished a round of antibiotics and required washes with betadine at the site of his last surgery. We do not know what happened, could be a suture working out, a jab from a piece of hay, no clue. These things happen and we have to tend to them immediately. He had to take 10 large pills twice a day. Thankfully he does pretty good the first week eating them with his grain. Then he says, NO MORE. At that point we have to dissolve them in water and either syringe it to him or hope he eats it on his grain. Thankfully that’s done and he’s doing much better.

Today we had Dr. Hill out to check up on Charlie’s ankle. We are switching him to a new anti-inflammatory drug to see if that helps. We will also be doing some physical therapy work- stretches and massage on that joint to see if that helps. Charlie can stand but still cannot put weight on that foot. Again, we cannot deny him the medical care he needs. He’s not a young man and as most of us know, with age comes aches, pains and unexpected ouchies.

So… in a nutshell, if anyone out there won the lotto or has some spare change glued down in the car cup holder, we would be so relieved if you would scrape it up and send it to the animals. 🙏💚

Marigold here had her ACTH levels rechecked (hormone that is raised signifying Cushings) and her meds are working! Whew!!!

However, taking her daily medication has been quite the task. First few weeks Standlee Pill pockets did the trick. Then she caught on… next few weeks we used Probios Soft Chews. Then she caught on. We tried different feeds, no dice. Not surprising as going on the medication tends to cause the individual to lose their appetite as their bodies adjust. We tried sliding the dose into the back part of her cheek. Ya, no thanks. During massage time? Sure, that was cool for a bit. Now we are onto the German muffins, another nice soft treat. So far so good but she will most likely flip us the bird on that one too.
She’s a smartie! She makes us work for it (and for her). Our commitment is unbreakable and she knows it but has yet to exactly accept it. 🤣

We love you Marigold. Even if we have to lose a few fingers and/ or dodge a kick, we will get you what you need. Promise!

Our bestest llama pal, Charlie, is having a rough go of things. He somehow sprained his ankle yesterday evening and is unable to put weight on it. We have him on anti-inflammatory/ pain meds which seem to be helping. This morning he is able to stand but is still favoring it. For now we are trying to keep him calm and have all his necessities in range so he doesn’t need to travel. Please keep him in your thoughts. 💚

Hey. HEY! Did you see? We have finally scheduled the rest of the Visiting days for the year! Go to our page and check under “events” to see what’s coming! ALSO be sure to check out our sister page- Misfit Roots Farm. That’s where all the nifty homemade and homegrown goodies are grown and created. All proceeds from the farm are donated to the sanctuary!

It was another super busy day with a variety of happenings both with the sanctuary and personally. However, it was easy to pick the best part of the day. We know it’s also a tease… We will formally introduce after they have settled in and we get to know them a little better. 💚

Creepy Ghostbusters like skies kept most projects on hold today… Some didn’t want to chance it and just stayed in, like Anise. We follow their lead. They usually know when something in nature is brewing. Fortunately it has just been rain and sunshine off and on here. Let’s hope it stays that way 🤞

Today we want to wish the lovely Miss Josephine a very happy 9th birthday!!!

Josephine, JoJo, JoJo Bean, Bean is one of the best security guards here at the sanctuary. She escorts us while doing chores and she always has an ear out to make sure her pals are safe. She is a tank as well as ball of energy. She was a tail that never stops wagging and will leave bruises 😂. Shes a total love! JoJo loves visiting and checking on everyone during her rounds. The sanctuary is also her racetrack. Oh how she loves to run!

She’s very excited that it’s not raining today and is looking forward to a day of play and perhaps even a roll in some mud!

Happy birthday Josephine, we all love you!!!

Marigold here has been trying to steal her daughter Petunias breakfast. The issue is that the supplements that Petunia is on currently can interact negatively with Marigolds medication. Every morning I try to distract Marigold so Petunia can get what she needs. Well, looks like I found a way to sedate her 😂 Who doesn’t love a good massage? #donkey #minidonkey #massagetherapy

A local friend brought some yummy salad! Perfect on this hot and humid day 🥗🐖💚

Charlie wants to do a series of tutorials. However, 99% are of how to eat and 1% is how to spit at your neighbor 🤦‍♀️

Pete is very thankful for his wallow! Any relief from the high temps and humidity the next few days is appreciated. It’s gonna be 🥵 again today!

Happy bees 💚🐝💚

Monday snow days are THE best!

We think Boomer is feeling pretty darn good! What do you think?

Sometimes people look at us in disbelief when we say the outbuildings are portable. Shall we demonstrate? Yes we shall. Time to rearrange for winter. We have officially kicked it into high gear. Winter is coming whether we are ready or not. Loads of sand have been delivered to finally make repairs to the muddy and washed out areas. The hustle and bustle of finishing those incomplete projects is underway. Wish us luck!

Thank you so much to all who came to visit yesterday! Thank you to all who also brought pumpkins and veggies!!! Whole pumpkins are SO yummy and nutritious. I think the chirps of gratitude say it all! ❤️

Last evenings storm brought more damages. Seems all we have done this summer is repair, repair, repair. Always thankful when no one is hurt but we sure could use a break. This is getting exhausting. We hope everyone is safe and dealing with minimal damages. Mother Nature is NOT happy these days. #severeweather #summerstorm #stormdamage #toughsummer #mothernature

The Challenges of Providing Fresh Clean Water. Part 1045295 Our daily procedure for the girl alpaca (and Greta’s) drinking water: 1. Empty stock tank ✅ 2. Scrub stock tank ✅ 3. Rinse stock tank ✅ 4. Refill stock tank ✅ 5. Remove emu from stock tank 6. Repeat steps 1-4 (and possibly 5)

Yesterday was a scorcher! We busted out the new Splash Sprinkler Pad and it did not disappoint! It’s way bigger than we thought and pretty darn durable. It held up beautifully against Greta’s big ole T Rex craws! #splashsprinklerpad #emu #alpaca #summerfun #productreview #animals #animalrescue #farmsanctuarylife #cool #beattheheat

Who are we? What makes us different?

Nestled back in the woods of Fitzwilliam New Hampshire is a small sanctuary and farm. A sanctuary and home for misfits. Home to the handicapped, ill, senior, orphaned or otherwise “unadoptable” farm animals. Our family, human and animal, work as a team to build and maintain our home. Our sanctuary. Our farm. Our homestead. We let nature, our instincts, our natural drive contribute to the creation of a self sustaining, functional and beautiful piece of earth we call home.

We as a family have been dedicated to this cause. Magzalea started in 2002 with the start of our family. All expenses paid by our day jobs. As our animal family grew we in turn outgrew our original home and farm of 13 years. In 2015 we moved to 93 acres with a rundown house. Since, we have been clearing land, building fences, and rebuilding the sanctuary. We went Non Profit last year, 501c3. Though the majority of the expenses are still coming out of our pockets, we have had great support from our friends far and wide. We raise funds through our homemade products, candles, soaps, salves, and other natural necessities. Along with fundraising activities. We host a community gathering monthly at our work shop- Farmer/Homesteader Group Therapy. Here, we chat about things we have learned, bring questions and pick each others brains. No agenda, very open, friendly and fun!

Support Your Local Misfits!
