Say some prayers for our animals & Steven in Happy (between Tulia & Hereford) who will be slammed by high wind tomorrow. We are no stranger to crazy weather and experienced many disastrous storms in centex the last few years. I just pray God keeps our kids safe in their barn. 🙏 Praying everyone affected by all of this crazy weather can prevail and be okay!

I celebrated my birthday last month and our 11 year Anniversary today without my partner in crime. Which is fine, I keep myself busy by working the days away as a distraction but I do miss having my best friend here.
This picture is from several years ago but one of my favorites. Steven Houston wasn't a big animal person when we met, he didn't mind them but he sure never realized what he had signed up for when falling in love with me. Marriage is tough and only the strongest survive, forever grateful for him accepting this crazy life and journey running our animal rescue and sanctuary while also raising our son. The stress and weight of keeping what we have built together is heavy sometimes, but we are a power couple and can take on anything - I know that for a fact. I love you Steven, you are a great 'Father of the Farm' and I literally couldn't do any of what we accomplish alone. Just a few short weeks away from having our family & farm reunited at our NEW chapter at OUR new sanctuary property and happy place! 🩷

And yes, we still have this sweet chunky gal. 🐽 I hate that the people that abandoned her and the other animals there were never charged or even questioned about what they did...., It's sad how little some counties do to protect the animals in their reach, at least we were able to help those that time. 🩷

Steven got between 2-3in of snow over the weekend in Happy but said when the sun came out it was already all melted by 10-11am yesterday! Sure was beautiful while it lasted! Steven has been getting the 'kids' up there on a routine where they all go into the big barn at night to sleep together where they can all be warm and safe, then at sun rise they pile out to explore the pastures we have fenced so far! Steven video calls me every day to show me how happy they all are and we can't wait to join him with the rest of our rescue babies to ALL be Happy in Happy. 🥰 If you'd like to help us with our last move with the rest of our animals in a few weeks, our feed cost or fencing, you can make a tax deductible donation here;

PREACH.... We are all broke and doing our best. So sick of the hate in the rescue community which is why I stand on; Kindness Matters. 🩷 If someone is negative and mean, it's a reflection of themselves and it only hurts the animals in the long run.

❤️If you’re in rescue, don’t let your ego get bigger than your heart. Remember why you got into rescue in the first place.

It’s not about you or me it never was. It is all about the animals ✌🏻

Help us feed our farm FULL of rescue animals by supporting our on-site baby bottle feedings+animal cuddles with some of our cutest & sweetest pets! Your donation/ticket buys us a bag of feed/square bale of hay, we spend thousands to fill our rescued pets bellies and can't do it alone! We are the ONLY nonprofit in the Central Texas area that offers this and will be gone by April and moved to Happy Texas to pick back up there! Don't miss out 🥰

Brody is the last of 11 puppies we rescued this year and is looking for his loving forever home! He is an adorable little guy!! Brody is a BIG talker, it's comical! He and his sister Uno have been learning the ways of the farm and go outside during nice days. He enjoys playing in water and playing with his sister (who we also still have but are keeping longer due to complications with her 1 eye.) Brody has been doing well learning how to use potty pads and is fine with our other dogs, he has also been around chickens/goats/ducks with no issues. Brody would make a person/family very happy! Reach out to complete our adoption application if you are interested in adopting this cute baby boy! Brody is located in Temple Texas at this time, if he is not adopted by the end of this month he will be moving up to the panhandle with us!

Took a walk with Miracle yesterday and she enjoyed a nice dip in the pond, she is seriously the best dog. Can y'all believe she is turning 6 this month?? Lots of time has passed since she was locked in a crate and left on the side of the road to die. My sweet Miracle puppy.

Our Journey

My name is Shelby Michalewicz and I am the owner of the Tiny Hooves Rescue farm with my Husband, Steven, and our Son, Re*****on.

We have dedicated our lives and property to taking care of animals that are injured, disabled, orphaned, surrendered and discarded.

After a car accident in high school I lost most of my short term and long term memory due to my injuries. I never quite understood how serious it was until I was in college following my dreams of becoming a veterinarian. I could study for weeks and when a test came, I just could not recall the information I had just spent so much time learning... I ended up dropping out of college after a year. I was so disappointed in myself and wondered what was next. So....I prayed, and prayed...

I met my husband in 2014 and moved back to my families farm in 2015 to fix it up as I continued to ask God to give me a purpose... Our son Re*****on was born in September of 2015 and God finally had answered my prayers. God then led people to start calling and bringing me animals in need, and it got to the point to where I was not only a stay at home mother to my human child, but also several animals that needed my help to be happy and healthy again.
