Rags to Rescues Sanctuary

11/01/2024

Sanctuary friends make the best company!

From family llama walks and neck scratches with Smokey the Zebu, to our Co-founder surrounded by the mini-horses and quiet moments shared between Joe and Mamala.

It’s the simple moments that make this place feel like home.

Times almost up to get your pies and save a horse!

Maybe we didn’t explain it well enough…

…but we want you to know just how much good your purchase of pies and cookie dough from our fundraiser actually does:

*It helps raise needed funds for all the wonderful and worthy organizations involved.

*You get delicious Pies and Cookie dough.

*Businesses around town ‘pie-match’ your purchase and then those pies are given to local organizations who help feed the less fortunate of our community.

It’s pretty much a win, win, win situation and it’s all because of your purchase. 👊👍👏

It’s the final two days to order. Load up those freezers with all the yummy deliciousness of Willamette valley pies and Sweet Treat Girls cookie dough, and help us change both human and animal lives here in Central Oregon this holiday season!

Mr Peaches isn’t a fan of his morning pergolide pill (for Cushing’s Disease). He’s a good patient, though, and lets me slip it in his mouth with little protest.

We have 4 senior horses and one senior mini donkey with Cushing’s disease. We have to get creative to get the pergolide pill delivered. Some will take it hidden in a gel cap in a treat, others accept the direct placement in the mouth.

Fabulous patient, Mr Peaches aka Peachy had his follow up visit today. The ulcers in his mouth from sharp points on his teeth have all healed.

We are still trying to heal the fistula (hole in his pallet). Fingers crossed the flap and sew technique will give his mouth the chance to heal without food getting stuck in the hole.

If you’d like to support Peachy’s care, consider making a donation, or staying on the farm!

Sweet boy Mr. Peaches had his vet evaluation last week. He’s a good patient with some senior horse issues.

He has an oronasal fistula (a hole from his mouth into his nostril), “advanced geriatric dentition with numerous abnormalities”, possible EORTH on the incisors, and Cushing’s Disease.

We’re working with the vet to heal the fistula, giving him Prascend for the Cushing’s and, as a result of the state of his teeth, 90% of his diet is pelleted feed (LMF low carb senior, and hay pellets, soaked).

If you’d like to support Mr. Peaches care, consider booking a stay on the farm, proceeds go directly to the rescue https://www.hipcamp.com/en-US/land/oregon-rags-to-rescues-sanctuary-06yhp786
