Today’s the day- it’s GivingTuesday! ♥️

We are so thankful to everyone who has donated, shared, and supported our work. Times are tough for a lot of folks, and sanctuaries and rescues have really been struggling too. So even if it’s a comment or a share, just know it means so much to us. We’re just thankful you’re here and share the same love for our mission.

Pictured here is Maggie. She was brought in to our new friends at recently with sores on her wings and was a bit lethargic. They got her feeling a lot better, and she tested negatively for avian influenza, so we moved her into one of our awesome foster homes. Because of her angel wing (caused by poor nutrition), she has had really sensitive feathers. The other day quite a few of them broke. They are blood feathers so they may need to be pulled to prevent more breakage and pain, so off she goes to our vet today. We will keep you posted how it goes!

Donations for GivingTuesday go directly to helping animals like Maggie. So far we’ve raised $250 of our $1000 goal. Reminder that any donation over $20 will get a cute holiday card (swipe to see an adorable mud puppy 🦆) and a sticker! Just be sure to email us your address at [email protected] 🎄 the card is mailed blank so you can gift it to whoever you’d like!

Next up on our GivingTuesday spotlight is Charlotte 🤍

We got a call a little over a week ago about some abandoned domestic ducks, and one had feet that were bleeding 😔 a kind person caught her and did her best to clean up her feet and got her on some soft bedding. We didn’t know if we’d be able to help, but when one of our awesome fosters offered to take on a medical case (thank you Lisa ❤️), we made her a vet appointment.

Charlotte went for a checkup last week, and unfortunately the feet were the least of our worries. She does have mild bumble, and the bleeding was due to her feet not being able to scab up yet to heal. It was just raw sores on hard ground making it impossible to start healing. Now that she’s got some booties, meds, and soft bedding she should be able to heal. The bigger problem is Charlotte has an old dislocation injury in her elbow. Because of this she will need pain management life-long 💔

We’ll see how Charlotte is doing after her bumble heals up, but then she will need a very special adopter who can help her stay comfy and pain free.

Thank you to everyone who has donated to our GivingTuesday fundraiser! We are about 1/5 of the way to our goal! If you’d like to contribute to help Charlotte and the other animals we’ve been featuring, we are very thankful.

On this Thanksgiving, and as our next GivingTuesday spotlight, we’d like to introduce you to Alby. 🍂

This sweet turkey is a Broad Breasted Bronze, a type of turkey humans created to grow extremely large, extremely fast for the meat industry. Alby is still young and already 26 pounds, a size that puts huge strain on her body. She’s already been to the vet for swelling in her feet due to her size, but her wonderful foster is keeping her on a safe, stricter diet.

Because of this unnatural breeding, birds like her often face:
• joint and leg pain
• heart and breathing issues
• shorter life expectancy
• difficulty moving or roosting

But despite everything stacked against them, they are gentle, curious, and full of personality. Remember, you can still be thankful for all that you have this holiday season without supporting the industries that hurt others.

Thank you to everyone who has donated and shared our fundraiser. Just a reminder that anyone who donates $20 or more during gets a cute holiday card (see previous post) and a sticker! The cards will be mailed blank so you can gift it to whoever you’d like. Please email us with your address and name after donating so we can get it to you! ([email protected]) ✨

✨ First up in our GivingTuesday spotlight is Mabel ✨

Mabel, a New Hampshire piglet, is our newest rescue. And today she got spayed! Because she’s “small” (quotations because she’s already 30+ lbs at just a few months old!) we were able to find a vet not terribly far away. Kade our cofounder still drove around 3 hours round trip 😅 It is SO hard to find vets who will spay and neuter large pigs in Utah. Did you know if a female pig isn’t spayed she will almost definitely suffer from reproductive cancer later on? It is literally life saving care, and we are so glad Mabel has a chance at a long, healthy life.

Thank you SO much to those who have donated and/or shared our fundraiser! We have raised about 1/6 of our goal ♥️

🎄 Anyone who donates $20 or more during this fundraiser gets a cute holiday card (see previous post) and a sticker! The cards will be mailed blank so you can gift it to whoever you’d like. Please email us with your address and name after donating so we can get it to you! ([email protected]) ✨

✨ Giving Tuesday is next week, and we’re kicking off a little early! ✨

Our little rescue has had so many medical cases lately, including a couple new intakes and animals we’ve had in foster care who have developed unexpected medical issues. We have been so preoccupied getting them care that we haven’t had a chance to post! Over the next several days, we’ll be sharing some of their stories so you can see exactly where your support goes and the lives you help save.

🎄 Anyone who donates $20 or more during this fundraiser gets a cute holiday card (see second picture) and a sticker! While supplies last. The cards will be mailed blank so you can gift it to whoever you’d like. Please email us with your address and name after donating so we can get it to you! ([email protected]) ✨

Every dollar helps us provide vet visits, spay/neuter, medications, food and supplies for the animals who need us most.

Thank you for believing in our mission. Being a rescue that focuses on overlooked species can be difficult, and we truly can’t do this without you. 🫶♥️

Adoption announcement for some of our feathered babes!

We had four ducks and six chickens go to their forever homes over the last few days. All of these birds were found abandoned (shocker I know!) and now get to live their lives with safety, comfort, and love.

First picture is Chestnut and Elm in their amazing new pond with all their new friends ♥️
Second picture is Peeper, Snowball and Pinecone 🤍

We highly suggest adopting rescue birds. I promise it’s so rewarding to give them a new chance at life.

Now those are some stinkin cute guinea pigs. 🥰 These three boys (lovingly named Rainbow Cupcake, Cheesecake, and Neo) are looking for a forever home!

They were adopted a few months ago but unfortunately were returned through no fault of their own. This trio is so sweet and would love to find their safe, forever landing. Their foster is even willing to sponsor their adoption fee of $50 for the crew, isn’t that nice?

Rainbow Cupcake is probably going to win best hair of 2025. He is a sweet little gentlemen that loves celery and leafy greens. Cheesecake always has something to say. His little wheeks when food arrives are the best. He enjoys hanging in his hidey hut. Neo is more of a listener and lets Cheesecake do the talking. He loves long naps in the piggy hammock. Guinea pigs living requirements also include an area of least 7.5 sq ft for two guinea pigs.

The most beautiful boy, Warhammer, has been adopted! 🐍

He ended up in a local shelter a few months ago so we worked on finding a foster home with a proper snake setup. Well, we found the perfect person who wanted to foster to adopt, who also happens to be an exotics vet! After a few months of settling in and eating F/T (frozen, thawed) consistently, he has now officially been adopted by his forever family. He is so loved. Happy slithering, Warhammer! 💚

Foster or adopter needed, preferably near Roosevelt, UT 🐀
This is Lenny, an older male rat nearing 2 years old. We took him into our rescue last year, and he found a home with another rat pal. His pal recently passed, and through no fault of his own he is now returning to our rescue and looking for a comfy retirement home.

When we take in an animal we commit to helping that animal no matter what, even if circumstances change and they need to come back to us. Lenny’s ideal family will go slow with him, have a large enclosure with at least two levels, and other male rats to do slow introductions with.

Please share- let’s find Lenny his forever home or foster!

Introducing Casper, Wendy, Boo, Morticia, Wednesday and Candy. 🤍 A couple days before Halloween we got notified about 7 chickens abandoned up Springville canyon. Sadly this isn’t uncommon. Being a small team of volunteers who also work regular jobs, we couldn’t go out to try and catch them right away. We told the community if someone could catch them, we could find a foster and take them. An incredibly kind person named Melissa went out and caught them as they were roosting for the night, all but one who had sadly already been killed by a predator. 💔 PLEASE don’t dump your pets. It is a death sentence.

The good news is these six ladies have passed quarantine and are now ready for forever homes! They can all go together or can go in pairs. Could you be their safe landing? Please fill out our adoption application below 👇

Slithering in to meet you today is baby, a 1 year old fire fly basic ball python. Baby is shy, with fast movements scaring her. She warms up quickly after getting to know you, andshe enjoys a good hide knowing she’s safe and exploring on her own time. Her perfect family would provide her with a large enclosure with many hiding spots giving her the confidence to explore as she wants. She is a good eater eating F/T mice regularly. Note: It is a common misconception that ball pythons do best in a small enclosure. This is not true - make sure to read our care guide which proper enclosure requires. She going to grow quick. 👉https://reptifiles.com/ball-python-care-guide/. If you think she would be a good fit for your family after reading the care guide fill out our adoption application 👉https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=as2888&method=online_form_html&formid=21.
Adoption fee $60
