I think it's safe to say that Boots wants everyone to know that he's out of hay! Yep - it's that time! We put the last bale in as soon as we got his chunky tail out of the ring. We have enough in our account to cover 1.5 round bales, and we need 5. The price has increased, and it's now $45/bale. We need $160 to cover the rest of the run. Due to the cost of fuel and availability of the farmer, we MUST make the most of each trip and get a full load.

Can you skip that 2nd cup of coffee and help fill Boot's hay ring? We'd NEVER ask anyone to give up their first cup!! 😁 Every penny adds up, and I know we have the best supporters out there to help fill this hay run!

(Please ignore the hay string - it's all cleaned up between each bale!)

Meet Calvin 💙 — a puppy with a story that deserves a happy ending.

Back in May, Calvin and his siblings were discovered abandoned in a crate, left behind without food, water, or comfort. They were rescued just in time, given safety, care, and the chance at the lives every puppy deserves. One by one, his brothers and sisters were adopted into loving homes… until only Calvin was left.

Now 5 months old and about 35 pounds, Calvin will likely grow to 50–60 pounds when full-grown. He’s a mixed breed with a terrier mama, but what really matters is his personality: sweet, smart, playful, and incredibly loving. He’s already fixed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. He sleeps through the night in his crate with no accidents, is learning his house manners, and already knows a few basic commands.

Calvin loves people, kids, and other dogs. He has the happiest spirit and the gentlest heart, even after such a rough beginning. But while his siblings already have families of their own, Calvin is still waiting—waiting for the person who will choose him, love him, and make sure he never feels abandoned again.

Could you be the one to write Calvin’s happy ending? 🐾💛

I am blessed to know both Valerie and Justin. They both work tirelessly for these animals, all while Valerie battles the toughest fight of her life. But you'd never know it!!!! The world is a better place because these two are in it 💖 Second Hand Sanctuary , HUGE congrats from all of us here at Creekside Farm and Equine Rescue - no one deserves this more!!! 🥳

Valerie Bartlett comes on A|C to talk about fall teas and her animal rescue but is surprised when her husband reads a letter that touched the Surprise Squad and United Community. She's presented with a check to help her visit her kids and grandkids and make improvements at Second Hand Sanctuary.

We're mere hours away from the 1 year anniversary of Helene - the hurricane that changed the lives of nearly everyone in our area, and now we're looking at another system with likely impacts.

We're prepping the best we can and praying that there's minimal damage. We will get hay after the storm, since we have nowhere to store it. Helene destroyed our barn roof, and the funds haven't been available to make the necessary repairs. We've been barely getting by on feed and hay, so projects like that have been placed on the back burner.

As with any storm, we want to make sure our neighbors have what they need to prepare their animals. If anyone needs help before this next system hits, please let us know! If we can't help directly, we'll assist in finding someone who can!!

Praying for all in the path of this system to stay safe!!

This week has been heavy. Heck, this YEAR. If you need prayer, if you need a listening ear, if you just need to vent, my inbox is open. No judgement. If you want to connect to a local event, I'll help you find one. I'll be a shoulder to cry on if you need a release. And if you want to know more about Jesus Christ, I'll answer any question you have.

This is a safe space, and will remain that way.

Today, we pause to honor all of the lives lost on September 11, 2001, both two and four-legged, the bravery of first responders, and the resilience of our nation.

May we never forget the strength that comes from unity, compassion, and hope.

It's National Dog Day! Let's see those pups!!
📷 Bruno aka Bitsy Spider. He came to us from the shelter, where he was part of a backyard breeding seizure. Now he's living his best life, and embracing every new 'do' he gets ❤️ 🤣 He's one of 8 dogs we have here - all rescues from various circumstances!
