We are often asked if we have down time. The answer is yes. We usually take a daily siesta, before dinner time feedings begin.

Bananas are an excellent source of nutrition for chickens. Bananas are high in vitamins A, C and B6, they also contain magnesium, iron, niacin, as well as other essential trace elements. Most hens, like Ruffles, simply love them.

Four of the seven mallard ducklings we took in on Memorial Day, when their mama was hit by a vehicle, have “flown the coop” to live their wild duck lives. Three are still are coming back at dusk, for dinner and a safe night in the coop.
One of the three, Amelia, is smitten with Greg!💕🦆🌱

Update
A family, renting-to-buy the house they were living in, moved out, in the middle of the night, abandoning their pot belly pig in a backyard of trash and broken glass, with no food or water. The neighbors heard this pig crying, in hunger, thirst and fear, and began feeding her. Days turned into weeks, then months, while the landlord made numerous calls, trying to get help for this neglected pig. When we received a desperate call, begging for assistance, since neighbors would be leaving for vacation and no one would be nearby to feed the pig, we said yes.
We weren’t prepared for what we saw. Tears were in all of eyes, as we softly spoke and used sorting boards to herd her into a crate. Fortunately, she was food motivated and crated easily. TAS volunteers dead lifted and carried the crate 50-60 feet to a SUV so we could take her to Tribe.
She is frightened but curious. Watch her nose in the video as she learns my scent. She is overweight as neighbors overfed her but we would rather help her lose a few pounds than be underweight, which is far more dangerous.
We’ve named this sweet girl, Jeanie, after one of our dedicated volunteers. If you would like to donate towards Jeanie’s intake exam and spay surgery, here are the links.

Sitting in vet’s parking lot, waiting for an exam room. It isn’t safe to expose unvaccinated puppies to other dogs.
We shared in previous post, mama is now Gabriella (heroine of God). There are 2 male puppies and 1 female. The brown and white, we named Magellan, as he is the explorer. The blue female is Maltilda, meaning mighty in battle and she definitely battled to survive. The blue male is Matteo, meaning gift of God.
Puppies weren’t able to receive 1st vaccines as Magellan is sneezing and has a cough so he received antibiotics. Puppies received parasite meds as they are super wormy. They will receive vaccines, the following week.
Gabbi received her vaccines and deworming med. She is super wormy too. She received med for a painful double ear infection. She is anemic, which isn’t surprising since she is nursing and victim of poor nutrition. We feel numerous hard round balls under her skin, most likely bird shot and/or buck shot. We are delaying radiographs as not cause any more stress. She isn’t scared but nervous.
Being the end of the month, we have some vet bills to pay as we don’t use credit cards. If you can help support this precious family of four, here are the links.

Nike came to TAS, in July 2017, as a 6-year old cat. He had multiple allergies, although a high maintenance cat, with special food, bowls, and toys, he was a loving boy with personality plus. It is so difficult to say goodbye! We love and miss you, sweet boy!

Update on Bruno
We had a consult, today, with Dr Brown, regarding Bruno. She was on vacation on 7/8, when we received the news he needed surgery. We aren’t opposed to surgery or fundraising for surgery but needed to understand why surgery was needed when he was walking, running and jumping without any symptoms of pain. Dr Brown reviewed the radiographs and confirmed the diagnosis. She then had us take Bruno outside so she could observe his gait. After watching him walk, jump and run, she recommended to continue giving him Yumove joint care supplement and add Myos, a muscle care supplement, to see how he responds before discussing surgery.
We are big fans of Myos as both Dembe and Remi are on this supplement and have benefited greatly from it. Myos is not cheap and now with 3 dogs on this supplement, you can help Bruno and TAS if you want to send Myos our way. It is on Tribe’s Amazon Wish List.

So back in June, we posted this video of Greg and Eric, one of our volunteers, trimming pig hooves and tusks. With as many animals, who live at Tribe, we had farriers and vets teach us how to safely trim pig hooves & tusks as well as goat and sheep hooves. Our avian vets taught us how to properly trim rooster and turkey beaks and feet, when needed. We also trimmed and file all of the Tribe dogs and cats claws. Learning these skills allows us to be good stewards of the donations the sanctuary receives. These skills also allows us to take care of each animal when needed.
As a way of helping the sanctuary bring revenue in to assist in caring for the Tribe animals, we are offering our services to the local area.
*$10 pig ear cleaning
*$40 pig hoof trim
*$45 tusk trim
*$60 pig hoof trim with hoof repair
*$30 travel fee
If interested in scheduling, please send us a private message.
If you are interested in pricing for other services, please send us a private message. If you want a phone call back, please let us know in your message. Thank you!💕☺️🌱

More video of Piccolo’s first vet visit on 7/5. He weighed in at 20.4 lbs.
Neutered male Yorkshire pigs weigh, on average, 550 - 750 lbs when full grown. The vast majority of Yorkshire pigs will never experience their first birthday as they are slaughtered at 6 months for human consumption. The JB Swift plant in Butchertown, east area of downtown Louisville, “processes” as many as 10,000 pigs a day. Let that number sink in. Louisville is far from being a compassionate city.
We are grateful this sweet baby will live. He won’t be someone’s breakfast, lunch or dinner. If you would like to donate towards Piccolo’s intake exam, deworming and vaccines, here are the links. Please put Piccolo’s name on memo line. Thanks!💕🐷🌱

Tribe Animal Sanctuary has another truck jumper. For those who saw a piglet jump from a truck on I-65, near Exit 132 (Crittenden Drive), this is the pig. It’s our understanding, a lot of people stopped, in order to save this pig.
We didn’t hear from the individuals who rescued him until 6/25, when he was brought to Tribe.
Truck jumpers have a special place in our hearts as their story speaks to the intelligence and sentience of animals. These animal beings feel the fear, dread and despair we would if we were crammed in a truck, without air conditioning, food or water. These animal beings sense danger just as human beings. Pigs share 98% of our DNA. Pigs are among the smartest of all domesticated animals and are even smarter than dogs. Their IQ is comparable to that of a three-year old human child. Why some individuals in our society still think it is okay to eat pigs is archaic.
We named this precious brave boy Piccolo as he is small, similar to the half-size woodwind baby flute. The piccolo has a playful sprightly tone whose pitch is an entire octave higher than the flute and when you hear this adorable piglet yell, you’ll know why Piccolo is a perfect name.
If you would like to donate towards Piccolo’s intake exam, deworming and vaccines, here are the links. Please put Piccolo’s name on memo line. Thanks!💕🐷🌱
