1 Day Ranch Rescue

12/03/2024

Hello everyone! 💜Happy GIVING TUESDAY!💜 We hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving and start to the holiday season… as most know, Giving Tuesday is a big day for non profits, as we hope that people around the world will open their hearts and donate to help us end the year strong in our missions!

It’s been a rough few years here at 1DR. In all honesty, there have been many times that we have considered closing our doors, as life seems to be fighting against us at every turn. However, we know in our hearts that we aren’t done yet… We are still here and still fighting back to help animals in need every day!

We currently have 59 animals of 7 different species here at the ranch, plus our two new intakes, Noel and Nickolas, currently in quarantine at another location! (Update on them below!) and when we say EVERY PENNY helps? We MEAN IT! This winter is going to be hard and we really need the help! If you could donate to help us on this it would mean the world!🥰

🎄Noel and Nickolas 🎄 are doing decently at this time. They have settled in well at their temporary home and have calmed down a lot. Nickolas has been having a lot of struggles with his stomach, major bouts of diarrhea,and it’s been a fight to get him to eat hay consistently. He is on medication and probiotics at this time, special feed, and will be getting his teeth and jaw inspected. He is also going to require a trip to Texas to see the equine podiatry specialist vet to see if we can help fix his front leg and hoof. Noel has also had a few issues with chewing that will require dental work, and also had diarrhea but that is clearing up with time and probiotics as well! They are both absolutely the sweetest kids and have been SO kind and gentle to deal with even in this new environment and everything that they have gone through. 🥹

We will update everyone very soon on the next steps for Noel and Nickolas! But we know for sure that just to begin treatment for Nickolas’ leg is going to be AT LEAST $1500❗️So your Giving Tuesday donation is DESPERATELY needed this year!!!

‼️‼️NEW INTAKE! URGENT HELP NEEDED!‼️‼️

While it couldn’t be a worse time, we don’t ever get to plan when animals need help… and last night we got 2 new precious souls that desperately needed our help…

Everyone meet 🎄Noel and Nickolas🎄(with it being the Christmas season, we felt these names were fitting🎄) they came to us through a group who works to help sale horses. While we don’t agree with the purchase of sale horses directly, we understood their desire to help these 2 giants…. They were able to get them out, but they didn’t have anyone able or willing to take on a case like them… So, they asked for our help. And well…. Here we are!

Noel (the mare/female) and Nickolas (the gelding/male) are a VERY bonded team of Percheron draft horses. We believe them both to be late-ish teenagers, but aren’t for sure yet. They have spent their entire lives as cart horses (they have the scars to prove it, including embedded yolk scars on their necks) and are one of the most bonded pairs I have ever met. They share a brain in a way… their connection is visible to anyone who sees them…

Both are easily 400 pounds underweight. Their hooves are in horrible condition and both need their teeth fixed badly. Nickolas has a front leg that is buckled over at the ankle and his hoof is clubbed…. He doesn’t seem to be in horrible pain, but walking is difficult. This is likely the reason they were discarded… Noel’s legs are still somewhat ok, and without the help of the group who got them to us, she was going to be seprated from her mate (which could have resulted in the death of them both. Bonds as strong as theirs don’t end well if separated.)

Noel and Nickolas are currently being quarantined at an auxiliary location (that we are SO thankful for!) as we can’t be sure what all they have been exposed to or where they came from… they have to be kept from contact with other horses till we know they won’t break with anything or be able to transmit anything. They will need a few weeks of feeding, deworming, probiotics, likely antibiotics, and time to decompress before we can begin to assess what we can do to try and fix Nickolas’ front leg and do a complete overhaul on Noel’s hooves… this is the start of a long journey for this pair.

With winter now in full swing we have been working to prepare and stock up hay and feed while continuing to care for the animals already at the ranch… so we will need all the help we can get to make sure these 2 will get all the care they need as well!

Hello all! Happy Friday! Hope everyone had a fantastic Halloween! Is anyone else shocked that it’s already November 1st?! Cause we definitely are! We have a new face to introduce to you all today😍, as well as a need that we could really use some help with as we prep for the winter months! 🫶

First off: Meet 💜Rook! (Who we call Rookie!)💜Rookie is an adorable little guy who came to us after he was caught in the middle of a divorce then abandoned with a neighbor… we don’t have much information on his history, but he is a spunky little man, walks well on a halter, and seems to know some cart commands! As you can see, he’s a chunky guy (the blessing of ponies! They stay chunky pretty easily) However, his teeth are in SERIOUS need of some work. We aren’t sure exactly what’s going on in there without sedation, but they are definitely MESSED UP. He appears to have a bad underbite and a few that look to be badly out of alignment. His chewing is visibly painful… We need to have our equine dentist come give him a full work up, and are working to get that scheduled asap!

Also, thanks to a neighbor nearby we have the opportunity to buy a few loads of hay at a GREAT price! ($50 each! Which is AWESOME!!) we would like to buy as many as we can to start stocking up for the winter.

If you would be willing to make a ⭐️TAX DEDUCTIBLE⭐️ donation towards Rookie’s dental costs, or to help us buy hay that we BADLY need right now- we would be SO appreciative!!!
Since these two needs are fairly immediate, we would prefer to not use Facebook donations as the delay is so long on the funds reaching us… however, You can make a donation in one of the following ways!

Hello everyone… we are absolutely devastated that our friends in the South East who are already suffering so much from Hurricane Helene are now in the worst case scenario and evacuating for Milton… if anyone has friends or loved ones, or hears of anyone with horses or other animals in need of a place to stay temporarily, please reach out! We can temporarily house a few horses here, but also could connect with other locations and resources to help. We are sending all of our love! Stay safe 💜

Happy Monday!! We have some fantastic news!… our little “Era’s tour” girlies (the newborn pups found in the igloo cooler) Clara, Wendy, Dorothea, and Marjorie are officially off the bottle, eating dry food, and are ready for their very own families!!!

Thanks to our amazing partner rescue friends and their help finding the best bottle feeding foster ever, these adorable ladies are SUPER healthy and doing amazing! Like OMG YOU GUYS LOOK AT THEM THEY ARE SO CUTE!!!!! 🥰😍😍😍

They still need to complete their vetting in the next few weeks, but they absolutely need to be in a home environment during this time, so we are looking for either temporary fosters or foster-to-adopt homes for these girls ASAP! If you are interested, please text 405-226-1946! 💜💜

Sorry for not updating sooner, yall…. it’s been a VERY LONG week! But, I’m very excited to let everyone know that Sunday evening the 4 puppies dumped in the ice chest LEVELED UP! New achievement unlocked: WE HAVE EYEBALLS!!! 👁️ 👁️💜💜

They are eating like little champs, and while we have had some issues with a few of them who like to try and aspirate on us, they are def growing like weeds and are absolutely adorable. I think we have finally settled on names as well, so check back soon for that!

08/21/2024

Some more pics of our 4 little dumped-in-a-cooler ladies, as promised! We still haven’t decided on names, but they are doing really good tonight! Everyone is eating from bottle well. 1 puppy, the largest one actually, has been struggling HARD.. but we’ve tried a bunch of different bottle setups and we think we finally found the right combo for her and she’s finally taking the bottle consistently!…. They have full bellies and are sleeping comfortably tonight 💜 (ps- Peep the epic milk faces… it’s too cute.)

I had really hoped to have the website finished to be able to go live today… but, of course, things happened! “Things” being that some sorry excuse for a human decided to dump 4 newborn puppies in a plastic igloo cooler in a parking lot in Shawnee in 100+ degree temps. 😡🤬😤😤😤😭

This was the absolute LAST thing we needed right now, but it was quite literally a matter of them coming here or they were going to be euthanized. There was NOWHERE for them to go. So here we are.

These 4 little girls are approximately 7-8 days old. They don’t have their eyes open yet, so definitely under 2 weeks and still inch-worm and rolling around. We think maybe boxer mixes? But still too early to really tell….

When I picked them up last night they were INSANELY dehydrated. I have never seen a newborn puppy pant as hard as they were. It was absolutely heartbreaking…. They all have a lot of sores on their skin and one is so caked in gunk that is attached to her skin we may have to end up shaving it off (it’s so painful to even touch it so scrubbing it is out of the question… we may just have to wait till it grows out a bit and shave it off) Last night was a **very** long night of trying to get them rehydrated and to take formula…BUT, they are little fighters and made it through the night! We went to the vet this morning and confirmed our age estimate and got them looked over. The vet thinks that we likely got them just in time, and hopefully they will all make it with continued around the clock care. 💜

I will post more pictures of these girls later this afternoon/evening. But here’s the photo of how they were found, in A FRICKIN COOLER (I can’t get past that.) and then right after we got them here yesterday.

Once we are a bit more “out of the woods” so to speak, we will definitely be needing an experienced bottle feeding foster! So if you’re interested, please send us a message. If you would like to donate towards their medical care or to their puppy formula fund- please do so in one of the following ways!💜

Hey everyone! Stay tuned! This week we are revamping our website as well as finally revamping our socials! Woohoo! (I know this seems like the lamest post ever- but it’s exciting for us! 💜💜)

Enjoy this pretty pic from the other night’s sunset 💜

Massive thank you to everyone who contributed to Big George and Honey’s sheering costs!!

Thanks to you, Extreme Makeover Sheep Edition™️ was a go! It’s safe to say they are MUCH happier sheep now. 😁 Enjoy some of the before/during/after pics! It looks like they both lost about 50lbs! Haha.

FYI- for those who are not aware and hopefully to prevent any “They are being hurt!” Comments or messages…… This is a PERFECTLY safe and pain free way to sheer sheep. No, they are not hurting. No, they are not being tied down. No, they are not stressed or scared. He sits them down in a certain position and from there they kinda just hang out as the sheerer moves them in the angles he needs! It’s quick and stress free! 💜

07/19/2024

Hello! Hope everyone is having a great summer and staying as cool as possible! We have been busy busy out here and have some really awesome things coming up… However, We are in need of a little bit of help asap!!!

We recently got 2 new sheep friends in at 1DR! George and Honey💜 They are SUPER sweet kiddos, but in BAD need of a major haircut! We have a professional sheep sheerer coming tomorrow to give them both extreme makeovers… we need $150 to pay for their sheering! If you could help us pay this bill tomorrow? It would be a MASSIVE help to us! Every dollar counts! We promise to post some before/after pics cause they are going to look SO different!!!

If you’re able to donate a few dollars to the great sheep makeover, please do in one of the following ways! 💜💜💜

Hey everyone! You may remember the 4 small dogs that were dumped in the road in tiny crates in the middle of the night a few months ago… We were contacted by local law enforcement for help and went and got them that night… we finally got full legal ownership of them all, 2 have already been adopted, but we have 2 little boys that are still looking for their new families! First up is Ben!

Ben (estimated 6mo-1 year old) is the most joyful, happy to be here lover boy. You can count on him to be curled up next to you on the couch or bouncing behind you on your walk to the kitchen with his silly corkscrew tail wagging a hundred miles an hour. While Ben is still new to this whole “dog” thing, as he likely spent his whole life in a small crate, he is an active listener and he’s been picking up on flows and routines quickly- plus treats are super yummy! He’s very treat motivated!

Ben is kid, cat and dog friendly (big dogs can be a little scary to his little 5 pound self, so he may be a bit slower to warm up to larger dogs). He’s shown huge improvement with house and crate training. With consistency and patience, he’ll be a pro in no time.
Ben is an adorable tiny ball of pure joy and cannot wait to meet his new family! If you’re interested in adopting Ben please fill out an application using this link!

Everyone in Oklahoma knows that days like this are stressful and scary…. We all hope that it ends up being nothing and tonight will be just a typical Monday night. However, if it doesn’t, we will absolutely be there to help animals and their people if needed. (So long as we aren’t hit again ourselves.)

Stay safe and stay aware. Protect yourselves and your animals as best you can. Try and breathe and stay calm! (Yes we are telling ourselves that as well.😂) 💜

Today is a very emotional day… 1 year ago tonight, our world was drastically and devastatingly changed… not for the first time, but definitely on a more massive scale… it’s insane to believe it’s been a whole year since we were hit 3 times in one night by 2 different tornadoes…

This past year has been a whirlwind. Telling time in “pre-April 19th” and “post-April 19th” is something I have grown FAR too used to… We lost so much that night, but we are still here. FOR THAT, I am eternally grateful. This past year showed just how strong we are as a family, and as a community. We can’t thank those that showed up, both immediately after, and in the days following, for all of their love and their help. We wouldn’t have made it without everyone who cared enough to drop everything and be there for us.

This year has been a year of learning how to adapt and how to grow even when things are in shambles… I’m so proud of all that we have accomplished and what the future holds. We quickly learned that we were, sadly, severely under-insured. Thankfully we have been able to remedy that for the future. However, due to this we are still in a bit of a limbo of cleanup and rebuilding. Our top priority is always making sure the animals are fed and receive the medical care they need…. But, as such, that means we still have to redo our blind horse pen fencing, replace 2 more pasture loafing sheds, find a way to replace our entire dog kennel facility, replace our arena for therapy work, and finish replacing our front pasture fencing. (Thankfully we have been able to patch things up enough to keep us operational for the pasture fencing, but we hope to get it back to legitimate working order asap.)

In honor of this (for lack of a better term) *s**t show* of a year, if anyone would like to donate to our continued rebuilding/replacing funds? we would so appreciate it…. But if you can’t? Just thinking about us right now and sending love would suffice. Because emotionally and mentally, this has been a marathon. But, we are all here and safe. Our animals are safe. That’s what matters most 💜

Hello everyone! Just a quick update on our guy Cheetos! You may remember just a few short months ago we were contacted about a dumped doodle mix not far from our facility…. and that is where we found Cheetos! He had a massive makeover and we started on his rehab…. Well, it’s safe to say Cheetos is doing AMAZING! He has some pretty nasty stomach issues that we are still working on getting figured out and under control, but even with that he has been steadily gaining weight and is GROWING! His teeth initially showed that he was likely an adult, however it turns out that his teeth lied to us due to his lack of nutrition, and he is just a young pup! He’s gotten so much taller already and definitely still fits his image. He’s such a goofy silly guy…. And he’s got springs in his feet! 😂

He still has a ways to go as we are still trying to sort out the stomach issues that he’s had ongoing, but he’s so happy now and is really coming out of his shell every day. 💜

04/12/2024

Hello everyone!

It’s $5 Friday and we have a SUPER important need and a GREAT opportunity that we could really use some help with!

As everyone knows, we go through A LOT of hay! While spring is here, and the grass has started to grow again, we still have to feed hay year round! We have the chance to get a load of exceptionally good quality round bales of hay for only $50 a piece! This is an AMAZING deal!

If you would be willing to donate towards buying this hay today or even sponsoring an entire round bale we would be incredibly grateful. That would be HUGE for us today! Adeline, the 1-eared sheep, all of her horse, goat, donkey, llama, and fellow sheep friends would be very appreciative!

Hello pretty people!

We wanted to give you all the update you've been waiting for! The three stooges aka Vivo, Bugsy, and Al are safe and comfortable at The Bond Between, a rescue in Minnetonka, MN. Their facilities are state-of-the-art with on-site veterinary care and a veritable army of volunteers. Those boys are living better than some of our board members!

The Bond Between also vets all fosters and adopters thoroughly so we know that these little hooligans will be adopted by their very best matches. Our board members, Erika and Sky, were given a tour on Friday while going to bid the boys a warm farewell and they can guarantee that they are in great hands. This place is amazing!

As always, nothing we do here at the ranch is possible without you, our supporters; donations, volunteers, likes, and shares keep our doors open and allow us to take care of all animals on-site as well as (in this special situation) transport these boys to their wonderful new lives. 💜💜💜

03/28/2024

….. AND THEY ARE OFF!

It was a very cold 2:30am wake up call, but Al, Bugsy, and Vivo are officially on the road to their new life! It’s been real, boys… not real fun, but real… good luck, be good, and have the best lives ever in Minnesota!

Safe travels to board members Sky and Erika on the drive! 💜
