VETERINARIANS ,VET TECHS, DOG AND EQUINE TRAINERS,CURRENT AND RETIRED. THERE IS A MEETING IN TALLAHASSEE FLORIDA AT TALLAHASSSEE STATE COLLEGE.YOUR PRESENCE IS NEEDED AND REQUESTED.OCTOBER 29th. In cases of domestic violence women very often will not leave because they know if they do they are leaving their loved animals behind with the abuser, and that leaves them in danger to suffer the abuse or worse alone. The Domestic Violence Advocacy Council of the Big Bend has asked for a program to be set up to help with this . The Big Bend Shelters are not set up to handle the intake of the animals in the Shelters that house the Woman and Children.
A new group has been formed to work closely with them ANIMALS OF DOMESTIC VIOENCE COALITION . Its time for change and to further not only the protection of the women and children but the animals feeling trapped because they can not all get out safely together. This is 2024 its time for change. IF YOU CAN MAKE THIS MEETING FOR AN HOUR OR THE DAY IT WILL BE GOING ON FROM 9AM TO 4 PM. These animals in this program will need the same protection and safe keeping as the human shelters ( which locations are unknown ) as they wait for the day they can join back together as a whole safe family in their new homes. IF YOU FIND THIS IS SOME THING THAT GRABS YOUR HEART AND WOULD LIKE TO BE A DONOR SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS PROGRAM FOR THE ANIMALS OF THE BIG BEND PLEASE CONTACT US AND YOU WILL BE PUT IN TOUCH WITH THE CONTACTS FOR THIS OR PM FOR INFO ON THE MEETING ON THE 29TH AND JOIN EVERYONE. THIS CAN HAPPEN BUT ITS GOING TO TAKE A VILLAGE.

Together we are so much stronger for the animals

Here’s one more post today to show how the Pinellas County community really comes together!

The following organizations received extra pet food donations and asked us if we needed more for our pantry, too. Last year, we gave out over 17,000 lbs of pet food to keep pets with their families. This year, we will certainly exceed that number!

Thank you Rainbows Edge Equine Transition Center for the long journey to Pinellas and the multiple food drops all over the Tampa Bay Area; Protecting Paws For Life for pet food & treats and the important work you do helping keep pets together with those affected by domestic violence; and SPCA Tampa Bay for once again sharing resources to help us better serve our community.

Our pet food pantry is open during our regular business hours: Monday - Friday 9:30 am - 6 pm and Saturday 9 am - 1 pm.

People have asked why we travel almost an hour to a feed store. We use to be closer and Florida Farm and Feed has always been good to the horses at Rainbows Edge Equine Transition Center. Their customer service is top notch . They know their products and they honestly care about their customers human and Equine. They make it easy for people to call in donations and keep great book keeping for our treasurer.
Today we went to pick up enough feed to last the rest of October . Thank you everyone that donated and shared the horses post for the need of feed and hay donations. I went in the feed store, bought what we needed and when I got out back to the loading dock where the truck was this is what I saw . They had filled it to the top with feed. The manager Josh said " We wanted to help the horses at Rainbows Edge ". This gift is such a blessing for the horses. We believe this load will get us through November as well or very close to it.
With all the clean up and work still in front of us because of the hurricanes this takes a lot of weight off us . Thank you Florida Farm & Feed, Inc.

With our feed sheds crushed under a tree we moved the feed to the hay storage and have been running to the feed store every 3rd day storing the hay in the back of the rescues truck. Thank you Florida EOC for sending a 40 ft shipping container to store the hay in. It arrived tonight at 11;45 PM. In disaster relief there are no schedules you just keep going ,Thank you to the man that delivered this container for the horses.

This is our shed we store the feed in and the one next to it is the shed that has the cans with open bags we feed out of . Hurricane Idalia took out our first feed shed so every thing has been squeezed into these 2. Now we have none. Its only going to take a like wind or rain to finish the job and bring the tree down to the ground. Feed bags and all the cans were moved to our hay storage so now we are not sure where we will keep the hay. This tree will need equipment and trained personnel to cut it and we still may lose a total of three sheds.If it finishes dropping it will take out 3 sheds and the rabbits cabin.

Made it through the Hurricane . 2 am counted heads. Trees down on 2 pastures , across drive and lost another feed shed
