Upon arriving to the rescue this morning we were greeted with 4 helpless teeny tiny kittens with upper respiratory infections, eyes sealed shut, noses sealed with grime and bo**er, approximately 3-4 weeks old, so malnutritioned they don’t even weigh a pound. They were huddled together at our door and there’s no way they walked here on their own, SOME PEOPLE JUST REALLY SUCK ! Shame on whoever dumped these poor little souls, this is the third litter dumped here in a week and by far in the worst and youngest condition, we were turned away by Pend Oreille Vet who couldn’t even take 15 minutes to give us some medicine (I’ve been a client for over 30 years), it was extremely disappointing, so we took them to North Idaho Hospital and finally got what we need at the cost of $350, if anyone has an extra buck or two to help us out with these little guys, we would appreciate anything, on top of the vet bill we we have months of milk to buy as well as kitty litter, kitten food and all their other needs ! Every penny counts ! Please help us help them ! We appreciate any support ❤️ can PayPal to [email protected]

Ginger and Casper

Unfortunately these two young ladies ended up in the kill pens, the kill pen owner has a new route to their profits, it’s a lot more lucrative for the kill buyer to allow them to be advertised on Facebook as “Need a home now before they ship to slaughter” then people join together to fundraise to save them, all the huge hearted people get their wallets out and pay the kill buyer more money then they would have made shipping them and has nothing out of pocket because someone surrendered them or they paid just pennies on the dollar at an auction, so once these kind hearted networked people raise enough funds and someone agrees to take them they are off to the next home that most often, couldn’t afford to buy them and shouldn’t have them in the first place, they are then let down by the system once again, They end up where these two ended up, the wrong home, lacking knowledge and the proper care and led to an even worse situation, that’s where we came in, after the women that said she wanted them, allowed others to fundraise to pay their bail and the shipping to her then decided she couldn’t keep them and planned to have them euthanized, at that point we took them in under safe haven but we are full, we don’t have the time or resources or the patience, effort and training they need, we are only a stepping stone to their forever home, if you are a trainer looking for a project these are your girls, they are unhandled but curious and eager to learn, they willing come and eat grain out a bucket on my lap but they are scared, they need someone willing to build trust, someone who can afford to care for them properly, their feet are terribly neglected and long, we do not know their age but our best educated guess is that these are younger mares, they were said to be bred but we are not sure on that, they desperately need a loving committed home, if your a trainer, a good trainer not just a wannabe trainer then please reach out asap and give these girls all you’ve got !

Good to know !

EQUINE SLEEP!

Horses need adequate sleep to prevent sleep deprivation. Consider the weather, insulation to prevent drafts, deep bedding, amount of space, and their physical health conditions.

See the comment section below for some pictures of sleep deprivation and sores on horses.

It’s a well known fact that animals soothe the soul and being able to give that to others and watch it happen is priceless !

Stroking, hugging, or otherwise touching a loving animal can rapidly calm and soothe you when you're stressed or anxious, companionship of an animal can ease loneliness and is a great stimulus for healthy exercise, which can substantially boost your mood and ease depression, radiating contentment and instilling peace with in !

We are very proud that through our community outreach program we were able to touch the lives of some young men yesterday from the Turning Winds theraputic boarding school for at risk teens in Montana.

The group came and spent the day volunteering and helping with the animals and the chores list around the farm, it was an experience of learning the spirit of giving, feeling compassion, applying teamwork and bonding with one another.

The reward of seeing their enjoyment and love for the animals, their smiles of accomplishment and eagerness to be involved totally made my day.

They truly are remarkable boys that showed their willingness to help our cause and in turn we hope that we made a difference in their life as well.

The accompanying staff pitched in right along side the boys and we found them to give the persona of not as being their superiors but instead more so of being proud parents, their love and commitment for the betterment of these kids was evident !

We finished up our time with the boys searching and collecting around 6 dozen eggs to take home to cook themselves breakfast utilizing their cooking classes !

At the end of the day we ALL were better people for the time spent together !

Special thanks to our wonderful volunteers here at Survivors Rescue, Tony Mueller, our facilities manager and Bailey, our in-house Behavioral Intervention Therapist for taking your time and sharing your knowledge to give back, we appreciate you !

Unfortunately, I have been battling coyotes here at the farm the last 3 months, they have killed 8 of my geese, we have cameras, I hired hunters, hunters volunteered and my husband has been keeping watch in the wee hours to try to resolve the issue to no avail, it’s with a heavy heart and for their safety that I need to rehome my remaining 3 Chinese geese, 2 males and one female, currently they are stuck in a stall for their own good but they and I hate that for them, they have been together their whole life, about 3 years old, I will only consider a home with another flock of the same, if your interested in adopting them please shoot me a message !

Just when I thought I was done for the day I had to pull these two shenanigans out of the middle of 65 mph traffic yesterday, they had traveled 9 miles from home after their satellite collars failed to keep them confined in the safety of their yard due to dead batteries !

“Dawn, thank you very much for rescuing Rex and Echo today. They were out of their element, and it's entirely likely that one or both of them would have been injured or killed, were it not for your quick thinking and kind actions. It was also a pleasure to meet you. Good luck with your very appreciated work!”

Update: Montana has been adopted, Bella is still in need of a home

PURE BRED AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERDS- HOME TO HOME ADOPTION AVAILABLE TO APPROVED HOME ONLY!

Bella is a 5 year old unaltered red Tri-colored female, Bella has previously been in a home with kids but no info on how that went, owner feels she would be best in a slower paced home with an older person, not good with cats, not sure about farm animals or other dogs

Montana is a 1 year old unaltered black Tri-colored male, Super high puppy energy, with a mind of his own. Needs more obedience training. Started crate training. Naturally docked tail. Has not been around many farm animals or children. Good with cats.

Either MUST be returned to current owner if it doesn’t work out, cannot be sold, readopted, given a way, bargained or traded.

Do not need to be adopted together as owner said they are polar opposite!

Both MUST be spayed/neutered as part of taking ownership!

Due to unforeseen circumstances for his current owner this guy needs a new home!

Hello Appy Lovers, this guys for you !

Meet Maverick ! Wow ! Wow ! Wow ! Color, Built and personality with this guy ! Maverick is a super sweet grade Appaloosa, estimated to be 6-8 years old, although he has not been halter broke he had no problem with me walking right up to him and rubbing, petting and scratching him, he actually enjoyed it, wanting more and kept his sweet soft eyes on me during my entire visit, I think he would make an excellent horse for the right person, he shows his willingness! He really enjoys attention and I believe will be a simple project that with very little effort could be halterbroke and trained into the ultimate ride, he could use a good hoof trim ! if you are interested in providing a lifetime home for Maverick please reach out to me here via messenger or text (208)290-6702.
