The vet came out today to check Lunas limp,
he checked her hoof first (as did I) but agreed its coming from her upper leg muscles part of a chronic issue.
💫He noted that she doesn't want to be told wuwt to do and she's stubborn, while I felt she was being rather accommodating for him, but I guess her sass still shines through 😅

he told me not to ride/work her, which of course I explained we don't anyway, and she's just here to live her life in peace,
and he gave her (or had me give her) an injection of an anti-inflammatory and pain medication, that I have to give her for the next two days, and then every other day, for a week and then follow up with him..
She's already pretty upset with me for allowing any of this 🙃 ,so we will see how the week goes! 😅

we were lucky to find a new electrician who answered me immediately and arrived within about 40 mins, he replaced all the wires and everything, again, for a temporary fix.

we missed Amentats vet appointment unfortunately but at least we have electricity again 🙏🏼

if you'd like to donate towards either Lunas vet bills, the electricity or the 40 bags of shavings/40 bales of hay/alfalfa, every dollar is appreciated and allows us to keep going!

well our temporary fix was SUPER temporary, less than a week,
I was standing outside waiting for the horse vet, when I smelled our meter smoking, after this video it sparked, and i turned off the breaker for the entire property.
these are brand new wires that were just replaced on Monday, we need to rewire the whole property asap for safe and reliable electricity.

Kiz is in the car (luckily the car is fixed and running) but shes still recovering, im still up through the nights giving her fluids, syringe feeding her, shes still on meds, etc, she can't handle more stress, we need electricity!

I just called a new electrician who is luckily coming straight away, for another temporary fix, but we NEED to raise the $8 to $10,000usd to rewire the whole property, this could have be devastating if it was to catch fire.

we NEED electricity through the summer, I don't know how in the world we are going to fund this, we are trying to stay above water as is; but we need to


just $2 from all our followers could cover this, we need a large group to come together, or a winning lottery ticket to get through this!

Relaxing morning for Luna! sorry I've been so behind on comments, messages, donations, etc,
the days have been so. soo busy, beyond the normal animal care, ive been non stop with kiz as she's still recovering and I'm still treating her night and day, and my poor mom pulled her back out and is on bed rest, im also preparing to fly to the U.S with Rocket and leave the sanctuary for a few days, so it's busy!

The vet for Luna was surprisingly accommodating and is going to be coming this morning to check her leg 🙏🏼 super grateful for that, but we have raised NO donations for Luna 🐴 or Sky 🐑
and after Lunasappointment, i have to go to the vet with Amentat, our bill is around $600 now and we haven't had donations towards it to pay it off.

we know we are asking for so many different things, especially this week, with our car, electricity, food, we had another 40 bales of hay and 40 bags of shavingsa arrive, we are truly drowning in expenses and need your help to continue caring for these beautiful beings 🙏🏼🤍

if you're able to, please consider a donations, $2 from ALL our followers would clear up all this debt and almost give us enough to replace the electricity! we can't do this alone, but we can do this if we are all working together 🤍

I'm so exhausted, but animal care work continues!

🐴Luna had a limp in her back leg, she had it slightly when she arrived but it got better when she put weight on, now it's coming back and I want to get her xrayed, ive reached out to a vet and just waiting on their reply
(update, hes coming monday!)

🐑we have had lots of bills and vet bills (Kiz vet bills are paid by my mom, not donations) we went to the vet with Sky yesterday and didn't receive any donations, Sky needs an X-Ray and now Luna will as well, so we need to fundraise to pay for the techs and vets to come 🙏🏼

🤍if you're able to, please consider even a $2 donation, every dollar makes a difference with a group of people and allows us to give care to these beautiful animals 🤍🙏🏼🐑

Huge thank you to those who have donated to this crazy week; I've been working 15 hour days non stop, hardly with time to eat and barely sleeping as I've been up with kiz, so sorry I've been behind on following up with donations and responding to comments but I'm very grateful for the support!

Off to the vet with Sky today to do full blood panels and try and figure out what's wrong with her leg 🙏🏼

we have been soaking, treating and wrapping her foot daily and her limping has been getting better, but it will take months for the limping to stop even if the infection is gone, hopefully we will find out what's causing the swelling 🙏🏼

if you're able to, please consider a donation towards her care, every dollar is appreciated and needed!

Just got the quote to fix the car, it needs a new battery and a new alternator which is going to cost $700 usd 😭
the sanctuary car is extremely important, we can not operate without it, we have trips to the vet lined up every day this week and we need transportation, our van especially for Sky.

we were already struggling before being hit this weekend with thousands in expenses,
If you're able to, please consider donating towards fixing the car, just 100 supporters donating $10 could fix the car problem!
huge thank you to everyone who has donated! it's really helped relieve some stress 🙏🏼🙏🏼

sorry i have been offline a few days,
its been a crazy stressful weekend!

Saturday night as i was finishing night feed, half the property lost electricity. its summer in the mexican carribean and the animals need fans, and to stay cool, so we cant have that,
Kiz also needs to stay in air condition.
within the same hour of our electricity going out, our car wouldnt start, and neither would the portable car jumper i had bought for this specific purpose to be prepared. Everything important broke at once.

the electricity issue is part of a bigger job that ive been quoted between $8 and $10,000 to fix (rewiring the whole property) I've gotten away with temporary fixes replacing certain areas, but the whole property will have to be done to make sure we have reliable electricity, especially through summer months. I bought about $60 in extension cords (on top of ones we had) to get fans on all the farm animal areas from the area we did have electricity.

while Kiz was in a cooler room with a fan right up to her and being cooled down, my biggest fear when electricity goes out hit, and she still overheated in a very short time, luckily we had gotten the car started by then, and I noticed signs of heat exhaustion, we cooled her down more and gave fluids and jumped in the car to rush to the emergency vet, since it was a Sunday and our normal vet was closed, the emergency vet is an hour away, in which time she worsened to critical condition (she's 15 years old so more susceptible to extreme cases) we truly thought we would lose her Sunday, the vet clinic thought we would as well, she was on oxygen for 5 hours and given different meds and finally stabilized, my mom stayed at the vet all day and night while I went back and forth between the vet and sanctuary for the other animal care.

yesterday after animal chores I transported her from the emergency vet to our regular vet, who we love and is only 20 mins away. She again stayed all day (but this time had her own quiet room and my mom could sit with her all day, too) with an IV, given meds for her different symptoms and doing blood tests/ultrasounds/monitoring her for more damage and to know how to treat now.

our vet suggested her going home with us for the night was best, so she did, where she was so much more comfortable. I gave fluids and meds and monitored her through the night, ive hardly slept but shes doing better 🙏🏼 Im doing morning feed and chores for the farm animals then off to the vet again with her for the day, (then back and forth for day chores here and the vet with her) we will also be taking Amentat for her leishmania treatment.

yesterday i also brought my car to the mechanic, it had stalled twice on the drive from emergency vet to normal vet just by me pushing the break, and another supporter had mentioned to check more than the battery, and it turns out I need a new battery and alternator, I'll be getting a quote today and hopefully be getting it fixed today, as we have had to rent a car in the mean time.

My mom had Kiz since before the sanctuary, so she pays for her vet bills, but we still got hit with the car bills, Amentats vet and medication bills over $500, and we have to start fundraising to hit the $8 to $10,000 quote for the electricity.
any bit of help is extremely appreciated, even $2 from all of our Facebook followers would exceed the amount needed! no donation is too small 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Black Sheep Retreat- Animal Sanctuary and Vegan Self Care Retreat

Black Sheep Retreat-Animal Sanctuary and Vegan Self Care Retreat.

My goals are to give a loving forever home to rescued farm animals for them to live out their lives in peace and tranquility; and a rehabilitation and finding forever homes for dogs and cats, as well as a retreat for activists and vegans to come and focus on self care, in whatever form that is for you, whether its focusing on meditation, yoga, massages, lounging by a natural pool, spending time with rescue animals, campfires, rescue animals around the camp fires, etc, or a little more adventurous with scuba dive packages, snorkeling trips, cenote swimming/diving trips, sky diving, temazcals, trips to ruins, etc, or a mixture of both! While offering a plant based menu during the stay!

Noche is the reason I am here, he is the reason all of this started for me. I, like most vegans, may be seen as a black sheep by society, but Noche has taught me how unbelievably special the black sheep can be.
