Vet bills have risen so much, that some families are giving up their pets. Here's how to lower some of those costs.

🐐⭐️ Star could use some well wishes and honestly all the positive energy ever😔 This little guy can not catch a break. All of it was preventable which is maddening!!

People often wonder why rescues despise breeders so much.Breeders focus on dollar signs typically while rescues focus on the well being of animals and their happiness ❤️‍🩹 That’s the short and simple answer

Star was neutered WAY too young and handled roughly by a man. He tries to climb the wall if a man goes near him😔My awesome father is working on that… since he was neutered at such a young age he will have urinary issues most likely the rest of his life.

Anyone who knows me will know I don’t back down from medical challenges. I’m not afraid of research and second or sometimes third opinions. I’m always open to advice from others and really value fellow sanctuary directors advice as well.Why?? Because SO many animals here are now living their best life because we overcame their medical issues together 🏥

Star has recently had to have prolapse surgery which was successful💛 Then he started struggling to urinate so we have been doing a urine flush. Yesterday morning I literally did a happy barn dance (ask Joanna😆)because Star finally was able to urinate like a normal goat should🥹

Star was feeling and looking like his normal self and even did little kicks off his slide🛝🐐🙃 Well that was great until he hurt his leg🏥 I swear this shy little guy can’t catch a break. Sooo now we go back to the doctor, ordered a brace and he’s on stall rest which he actually seems to be loving🤦🏼‍♀️

Never a dull moment here🐐🛝🚫🙈

We all knew this was coming 🙄 Ridiculous overreach and cruelty. I hope they learn how to handle a situation like this one with much more kindness in the future!!

Peanut, the social media star squirrel at the center of a national furor after it was seized from its owner in upstate New York and euthanized, has tested negative for rabies, a county official said.

💅🦷🐷 It’s that time of year when little Emily travels to Saving Snouts for hoof and tusk trims. Usually we have a sponsor a pig fundraiser going ahead of time but this last month has been a little crazy🙃Helping the mom, dad and piglet family has set us back in a lot of ways but their safety was worth it💗

Instead of doing individual sponsors this year we are just going to do a general fundraiser towards the 1K cost😬 Having regular hoof and tusk trims is so important to all our residents so they don’t have mobility issues or hurt each other by accident.Little Em is top notch and does an amazing job with all our special needs pigs🐖

Any help towards their spa visit would be so very appreciated !! Thank you to each and everyone of you that help our residents live a beautiful healthy life🏡

Looking to adopt? 🐈‍⬛🐈

Check out sweet little Apricot 🍑 She’s a snuggler at times like a lot of cats but enjoys her exploring time too. She would love to be in a home with another young feline friend. She’s spayed and up to date on vaccinations and microchipped.

She was part of a litter that came from our project with Odd Man Inn a couple years ago. This project turned into way more cats than we planned because three were pregnant on arrival and we hadn’t planned for that to be honest.

Thankfully Valley Cats along with two amazing local volunteers,Lacey and Joanna took on pregnant moms and their kittens along with myself. Together most were adopted and once we were under 10 cats that needed homes I had to switch my focus back to Saving Snouts and our own much needed projects.

It’s always a juggling act around here🙃We wanted to help OMI because the previous cats and dogs weren’t part of their contract with the old owners. We knew these animals because my daughter was an intern there, we also knew there were a lot of seniors involved.

The last two senior cats recently passed😔Bubba Lovesponge and Iris who are oh so dearly missed. They were both snuggled up to me every day and two of the sweetest creatures. Bubba was a volunteer favorite because of his human like spirit and Iris was docile but filled with love.

Although the mission had plenty of challenges there was also a lot of learning and growing as a sanctuary.Most importantly every senior dog and cat from what used to be The Pig Preserve landed at Saving Snouts safely.

They were loved and received full veterinary care right up to the end including dental and eye surgeries to make sure their final years were peaceful❤️‍🩹As an organization we didn’t have the funding so I personally took on their expense because of my love for senior animals. In my opinion they deserve more veterinary care as they age not less.

Throughout the next few months we are going to be sharing the last few that never were adopted🐈💗🐈‍⬛ This month is all about Apricot 🍑 Please message us or comment with any questions🤞Let’s get these last few felines their forever home🏡

There always seems to be great humans that make it their mission to outweigh the bad🥹Our wonderful friend Lisa Martin saw our post yesterday and instead of spending her Sunday relaxing in the rain☔️ She got in her truck and picked up a bunch of safe pumpkins 🎃 💗 Just another beautiful example of amazing people we are surrounded by 🐽

Thank You so much Lisa for all you do for not only Saving Snouts but for many other organizations you donate your time to!! It’s an honor to call you a friend

🎃 This year we unfortunately aren’t able to do our pumpkin recycling day that we all look forward to. Unfortunately after trying to help Jewel with what we thought was a collaboration with Door County Sheriff we have dealt with a ton of threats.

Some have even gone as far as wanting to send me pieces of the bodies they harmed. Once it reached this level we knew we just simply couldn’t have it this year😔

I struggled with how to share this with you all. The entire situation was a nightmare but I really wanted Jewel to remain the center of the story not us.

She deserved a sanctuary but unfortunately there are bad apples who hold powerful positions. We tried to get a third party investigation to prevent future abuse of power but were denied by Door County (of course) I expected this outcome but we had to try

To those of you that have dropped off pumpkins already because you had in the past that is totally fine. We were able to tell you had been here before

I get asked quite often “How do you still like humans after everything you see?” The answer is simple❤️‍🩹I don’t focus on the before part of their stories… I focus on the beautiful people that are part of their happily ever after🐷💗🏡

Auntie Celeste and Louise are two of those people 🐽🐽 They love to spoil the residents here, they make it a point to get to know them individually and have a pure love and respect for all species including pigs🥹Every time they visit we have so much fun and lots of laughs of course 🤭

Let’s just say the first part of winter oatmeal is covered🥣🏡🐽💗🥰 Thank You both for being part of the Saving Snouts family

🐷🏡 Sometimes you need to take an extra few minutes to show some love to the ones who spend their days nurturing and mothering everyone right alongside of you
