OLD SCHOOL photo & Sponsorship opportunity!

Sponsor Stella for 2025!!! Sponsorships can start as low as five dollars a month and don’t forget your donations are tax deductible!

Stella came to us in the spring of 2022, her and her two brothers were unable to walk at 10 days old!!! We lost bling in the first month but Mikey & Stella grew & got strong & have become the specials around here!

Stella has no use of her front legs. They are almost attached backwards. So she is a special girl & also needs 24/7 assistance & uses many blankets & toddler beds thru the year.

Give the gift of sponsoring Tw***ie this Christmas!!!

You can sponsor Tw***ie the paralyzed cat for as little as $5 a month. Tw***ie is our resident groomer & baby goat hostess! She has almost no use of her back legs & has been this way since 6 weeks old.

Sponsorships allow us to continue to take in the hard cases like Tw***ie! These cats are not considered adoptable by shelters because they can’t use a litter box. I, Jean, potty Tw***ie everyday 2-6 times a day. We use many weepers for this & she wears diapers when we have them clean.

Here is Twinks link givebutter.com/SponsorTw***ie

Wanna give the gift of sponsorship this holiday season.

Well Wiggles needs a sponsor still. She has cerebellar hypoplasia and is high on the spectrum! She has major mobility issues but she’s fitting in great.

It’s here & let me tell you moving & placing the first round bale was a breeze!

Now to move all the old chicken coops to the burn pile & move the compost piles & get the goats all cleaned up.

Next big project is limbing the trees!

HUGE thank you to Tytan Ag LLC in Chehalis WA for the amazing deal, the counter weight & the extra work you did for no up charges!! this is perfect for what we needed it for!!! If you want no hassle & extra customer service shop here! Kubota wanted double for a similar tractor with less attachments & kind of crappy customer service!!! Mark makes you feel like you’re at your grandpas picking up his old sturdy tractor that you know is safe & sound & will do the job!

Huge thanks to Dave & Kim for delivering!!!

^PS this belongs to my landlord not the rescue, we couldn’t get a grant writer this year & the work was way too much for our diabled broken bodies.

Giving Tue is coming up. Here’s some info we wrote up for a grant. If anyone wants the help the medical wish list is in the comments


We were gifted a shipping container for hay & grain storage & our pet food bank. BUT NOW We are in need of one shed for medical cases. The main reason we need this is so that I can move medical cases to the shed & volunteers can assist. We have a retired vet tech who works with us as well & she can assist more when I am gone if animals are not in my bedroom. This will also give us a place to set up our medical equipment like the microscope to reduce costs of sending in f***l which run around $55 per test.

We don’t have high vet bills here cause I do most vetting at home, of course after I make a call to the vet. Most expensive items are the medications we order in bottles for home care of goats. Last bottle was $250 for a small 50ml bottle. We have no veterinary debt at this time, which is pretty amazing for the cases we take in. Our vet will call or email or text us to treat since goats & livestock are easily treated without office visits & it’s better for their stress & recovery to stay in their known environment while recovering.

This year we have attended around 30-40 events in our coastal communities & have helped many children learn about goats, allowed them to bottle feed at events & adopted to these kids & continue our educational mission with home visit to teach & educate these kids to treat & maintain their goats on their own.

I have my certificate as a Small Ruminant Meat Producer from University of Tennessee & this summer completed an 8 week holistic goat care course. Both of these training have allowed me to take in & save ill animals with about a 75% recovery rate! Our vet is very impressed with what we do & recently approved me for subcutaneous IVs & feeding tubes at home.

Mikey is our special boy! He has cerebellar hypoplasia which means he can’t get around like normal goats. He can’t jump onto thing & he has issues with his site. He was one of the first super hard cases we took in with his sister Stella the Wheelie Warrior. If you can help us we will@post the wish list in the comments. Lots of items are on sale still!

11/27/2024

Boogie picked us! He was supposed to go to another rescue/shelter since we took in some feral barn cats BUT he immediately fell in love with Tw***ie! Tw***ie has never had a friend! So this was pretty special.

I’ll post the wish list in comments they could really use some new tented cat beds… we are running low since the cheaper ones rip easily & stuffing is them swatted EVERYWHERE. lol

Amazon Black Friday is live. Here is our basis needs for the rescue.

Raised bowls, cat beds, throw rugs, and heat lamps are our most critical items right now.

Of course the LGDS that guard out herd from the many many predators we have always need toys & BIG dog chews! Maverick just finished off a wheel barrow that was supposed to be his water trough.

If you can help please share that is just as important. We are also monetized so commenting, sharing & liking does earn us a few dollars a month.

Black Friday is live on Amazon. Here’s our medical needs list…. We are ok with subbing for items on sale.

I went ahead and got the stethoscope… I think the one I have is cheap & just crap & I know listening to gremlin wasnt the best & I couldn’t hear his heart like I needed too. I still blame myself for his passing BUT I know I couldn’t fix him & I was prepared for the day just not so soon. It’s hard to sleep without him next to me. If you can give us to keep helping these special cases we appreciate it. Even just sharing helps us get the info out.

Miss Wheelie Warrior Stella’s Wish list.

Stella is the rescues wheel chair goat that came to use unable to walk at 10 days old. Her front legs twist backward so she is unable to stand on them. Her 4wheel chair was donated by RUCK9 & has given Stella the freedom of mobility.

Want to gift Stella? Well she has her own list ❤️

11/22/2024

Sorry been MIA… loosing Gremlin hit me a lot harder than I expected.

Miss Stella went into heat right after we lost Gremlin, he was her house mate & Stella had accepted Gremlin as her buddy… so not only was she in morning she was also in heat & we had 48 hours of constant screaming. Needless to say most of us didn’t sleep for those 2 night.

Last night I brought her into bed & wiped her with our homemade pet wipes & brushed her & hung out. She is the sweetest soul we have on the farm. She also the lowest maintenance because she’s so healthy & very independent for being mobility challenged. 

11/17/2024

Gremlin passed today. He was having his voice issue & then some breathing issues. He was inside with his brother Kevin & Roy & Roxy having dinner so he wasn’t alone.

I suspect that his heart just gave out due to his murmur. The vet said it was a loud one & sever. He was collapsed where he was standing when I went to put straw out.

 my heart is broken. He was my sweet little house goat.

Gonna sign off for the day to try to manage & hang with Kevin.

11/17/2024

Keep us in your prayers! Last time we lost 2 shelters & lots of tree limbs! Without having anyone show up to limb trees this year we may loose trees!

I’m gonna hunker all the animals down in Straw tonight & hope for the best.

Only the bucks are in a worrisome area but they are tough boys & have shelter.

11/17/2024

I always feel so honored when places or people pick us to take on some of the harder cases!

Aberdeen PAWS of Grays Harbor LET WIGGLES COME TO US. We love her! She’s so sweet & has the funniest little attitude… she met Boogie & was so happy & they seemed to be ok. She tried to play but she still isn’t sure about all the new stuff around her.

BIG NOTE: I think she’s using the litter box!!! Which we didn’t think she could do. But so far there’s no p**p on her pad & only one accident on her carpet. And she hasn’t landed in her 💩 so she’s doing somthing right.

We shared some ice cream today. She’s not a fan of salted caramel gelato! lol

11/17/2024

Here the info for wiggles. We will get a video up soon. She’s the sweetest little thing EVER & she cracks me up with her super snuggles…. She’s so wobbly when he’s goes in to rub she does a dive bomb.

She also kisses toes, doesn’t lick them, she bumps them with her nose! Only bare feet!

Link to support Wiggles with monetary donations below & wishlists in the comments.

We assume she will need $50 a month for food, we**ee pads (she can’t get in a box), other medical needs & the occasional grooming cause she sometimes falls in her 💩 and get a little 💩 on her when she tried to go.

She also desperately needs a short cat tree & a couple more shark beds (she came with one it’s her FAV) so we can wash them often.

That’s it! All the hay we have left! We have had to use some donation for Wiggles the new disabled cat from PAWS. She needed some floor mats to walk on & a post of her own & an extra bed. Her wish list is added to out general list.

We need to find local hay for $4 a bale. We use 2-4 bales a day.
