Today is Anchovy’s big day! He is currently at our vet’s office and will be having surgery soon to get his cancerous toe removed. This will be the start of his new beginning, his next (hopefully) pain-free chapter. We will keep you all updated after his surgery! Thank you so much to everyone who has donated. We’ve raised $850 of his $1700 bill! 👏 If you would like to donate, any amount, it is so appreciated.

Winston and Charlie 🧡
These two are still looking for their forever family! They are an adorable pair of American Guinea pigs. Charlie is shy but very sweet. He loves lettuce and cilantro! Winston is a wild and outgoing man. He loves head scratches and exploring outside of his enclosure. These two do need to be separated during meals, as Winston thinks he can steal all of the food lol. Their ideal family would be someone who is willing to continue working with them and give them time to warm up to being handled more. Guinea pigs living requirements also include an area of least 7.5 sq ft for two guinea pigs. Each of our guinea pigs receive a microchip before adoption. Are you interested in adopting Charlie and Winston?

Since we posted our $5,000 donation match fundraiser last night we have received $320! 🎉 Thank you SO much to everyone who has donated and shared. Your donations help us help animals like little Helga here.
This sweet girl is our newest intake, and she was found at a local pond with a fishing hook in her leg. We are getting her into our vet tomorrow morning where they will likely sedate her to remove it and see how much damage is caused. For now she is safe, warm, and has a full belly. We truly could not help animals like Helga without you. If you’d like to donate towards our end of year fundraiser match, we would be forever grateful!

Meet Bean 💛
We weren’t expecting another vet bill right now, but unfortunately here we are. We had someone reach out recently about surrendering a duckling that was given to their daughter “as a joke” a couple months ago, and they weren’t properly equipped to care for them. This is why we always emphasize that animals do not make good gifts. This little one has suffered the consequences and is now dealing with an upper respiratory infection as well as bumblefoot. Thankfully the bumble seems to be mild, but this URI is nasty, and we can tell Bean isn’t feeling well. We got them into our vet today (thanks to our amazing foster Taylor) and they are doing a culture on the eye discharge so we can see what type of infection we’re dealing with to hopefully get Bean better soon.
To be honest we have had to say no to so many injured animal requests lately because our vet bills are through the roof. Had we known the extent of what was going on with Bean, we probably would have had to say no, and that really hurts to think about. But we have Bean in our care, and this means we are going to do whatever we can to help them get better and have a happy life.
If you can donate towards Bean’s medical bill which is currently at $284 (this includes meds and the culture), we would be so grateful. It’s the holiday season, and we know funds are tight. If you can’t donate, can you please share? Another great way to help is to participate in our $2 Tuesday and $5 Friday raffles! We have a $5 Friday raffle happening right now (see previous post). Other ways to donate at link in bio. Thank you all so much for being here 💕🦆

We can’t believe Penelope hasn’t had a single adoption application! Sharing her info again to hopefully help find her an amazing home 💝 This sweetheart came to us from a backyard breeder situation and is now looking for her new forever family. Penelope is a 6 month old female American mini pig. She is currently 20 pounds with lots of room for growth. She loves exploring the yard and being outside, running around with her foster dog siblings, relaxing the day away, and of course being adorable. She is shy at first but warms up quickly, especially for her favorite treats. Her perfect new family is one who would give her time to adjust to her new home, have other pig friends to play with, or even be the queen of the house and live indoors. We estimate her adult healthy size to be 150 pounds. Fun fact pigs are 3 times more dense than dogs! Penelope will come spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Adoption fee is $200. If interested in adopting fill out our application below 👇https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=as2888&method=online_form_html&formid=21
Miss Mae went to her forever home this weekend, and here she is running to meet her new friends. This girl was abandoned at a pond (illegally) and left to fend for herself. We had dozens of emails and messages about her, but we couldn’t rescue her until we had a quarantine foster open up. We are so thankful she survived and had a community looking out for her. Now she gets to spend the rest of her life feeling safe and loved. 🧡
You may have seen, but we recently rescued five hens who were slaughter-bound. Spending the entirety of their lives so far at a commercial egg farm, they were never given the opportunity to act upon natural instincts like dust bathing. Now in their amazing foster home, they are starting to get these opportunities. This little one decided to take her first “dust” bath the other day. (There are areas with more dirt but she chose here haha). Isn’t she so sweet?
Jersey (now named Captain Waffles) has made it home!! Just a couple weeks ago, this guy was set to be euthanized at a shelter in California to make room for fire evacuation intakes. Through some incredible team work, he is now safely in Utah with his forever family. Thank you so much again to @rejectranchsanctuary and @snoutsofsedona for making this possible. And to our cofounder Kade for meeting transport in Vegas to bring him home! We can already tell you’re going to be so loved, Captain Waffles. 🧇
Meet Jersey 🐷 If you’ve ever been involved in animal rescue, you know how much of a team effort it is. This cute boy was on the euthanasia list at a shelter in California, set to be put down yesterday to make room for fire evacuation intakes. A lot of incredible things happened in a short period of time, with various people coming together to save him and another at-risk pig. We had an adopter looking for a pig just like Jersey so our cofounder Kade started networking. With the help of @snoutsofsedona, @rejectranchsanctuary, and an incredible person offering to sponsor his neuter costs, these boys are now safe. ♥️ We can’t wait to share more as he makes his way to Utah and to his forever home, but for now, welcome to safety buddy. (Adorable video by @rejectranchsanctuary)
Zip and Bruno, two of our male slider turtles, went to their forever home today! And I think it’s safe to say, they will be very happy here. 🐢💚

Mila is looking to join a flock to call her forever home! She is a bantam hen with the prettiest coloring. Mila came into a local shelter as a stray, and they reached out asking for help. Our wonderful foster Sheryl has had her in quarantine (we do this will all new birds as a precaution), and she’s doing great. Are you interested in adopting? Fill out our adoption application today! Predator proof housing is required for her to be locked up in every night. Adoption app: https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=as2888&method=online_form_html&formid=21
