Sky Diamond Rescue We Rescue, Rehab and Re-home horses and dogs in need. We also educate the public on proper care of animals and the need to spay and neuter their pets. Thanks.

I have always loved animals and have a passion to help them. After my horse, I'm A Sky Diamond, aka Diamond, died in his sleep at the age of 32, I made a promise to him that I would help all the horses I could in honor of him. I got Diamond as a yearling and when he was 8 yrs old, I was forced to sell him for financial reasons. Exactly one year later I was contacted by a woman who had recently b

ought him from a kill buyer. She then called me back a couple of weeks later and asked me if I wanted him back, and that if I did not take him, she was going to sell him back to the kill buyer. Of course, I purchased him back. I was not prepared for how he looked when I picked him up. My once beautiful, stocky, happy boy was so thin I could see all his ribs, while his back bone & hip bones protruded horribly. He was so weak, he could barely lift his head. I went to him and quietly said "Hi, Diamond." He let out a soft whinny, then rested his head on my shoulder and gave me a nuzzle. I cried, but knew he was never going anywhere again and he didn't. I had him until the day he died, moving him with me wherever I went. I realized at that point that the need for horse and dog rescue was overwhelming. I had to help how ever I could, so I have done it by just taking one or two horses at a time. Now I want to move on to the next level so I can rescue more horses and also start rescuing shelter dogs as well as providing education to the public on proper care of them and the urgent need to reduce the population of both horses and dogs through adoption, spaying and neutering instead of buying or breeding. However, as anyone involved with animals knows, it takes a village to rescue and care for homeless and abused animals. Veterinary bills and feed bills can mount up very quickly. Donations are needed to help my partners and I at Sky Diamond Rescue to maintain the lease on an incredible country facility that we have found, perfect for both horse and dog rescue, just north of Greensboro, NC. In addition to the property lease, we have an immediate need for basics for the farm- shovels, rakes, pitchforks-as well as feed, beds for the dog kennels, shavings, straw and hay for the horses, Vet care for both , and farrier care for the horses. I know this is going to cost a lot to get started, but believe it will be well worth the work and effect. This rescue means the world to me and those it will help. Any amount will help us. Thank you so much for helping us. The animals in need thank you also. More about the rescue and mission:

Horse & Dog Rescue & Education Center. We believe in the 3 R's.....Rescue, Rehab & Re-home horses & dogs to wonderful loving homes as well as educate the public on the proper care of these animals. The animals will also be used for therapy for high risk kids/youth, first responders and their families, Military personal and their families and woman in domestic violence situations and those with low self esteem, depression, etc through equine empowerment therapy. We truly believe in the power of animal therapy. We hope to also eventually offer after -school care and summer camps for kids. We will rescue those animals who are starved, abused or unwanted. Those animals in shelters (especially high kill) and auctions. They will be trained/retrained and adopted out to loving families. It is in Diamonds honor I started to put this rescue together. The name will be Sky Diamond Rescue & Education Center. We are a non profit status (501 (c) 3)

Again your donation will help to pay the lease on the property, horse supplies, dog supplies, vet care and farrier care for the horses, and feed. Thank you for your support. We want to continue to help animals in need as it continues to be brought to our attention of several horses & dogs needing a safe, warm place to recover and be loved, for some of them, it will be the first time they will know what love and a safe, warm place to sleep is. We are located in Greensboro, NC. Thank you again. We will post updates as this campaign goes on. Please contact us with any questions.

Happy 4th of July everyone.

It is with a very heavy heart I must let everyone know that we lost (euthanized) Diva today. She is the one whose baby we had to euthanize 2 weeks ago. After years of service to humans, she was thrown away like trash. Her body was failing her. She was unable to stand up so we made the hard decision to let her go peacefully surrounded by people who Love her. RIP Diva, you are missed.

On the way to the barn we found these 2 box turtle babies. They were in the road so my son helped them across. Then at the barn my son found a toad. A huge one, they eat good out here. He was also released. My son is an Environmental Scientist so he likes to monitor these guys (and Snakes). If you are local & find any injured reptiles or turtles you can contact us.

Rescue really sucks sometimes. It is hard, emotional, financially draining & exhausting. Yesterday was all those. We had a recently Rescued Mare give birth in the early hours of the morning. We didn't even know she was Pregnant. She showed no signs of Pregnancy. No milk, no big belly, etc. She missed her in take Vet appointment due to being terrified & no one could get close to her. We tried everything & finally just decided to let her settle in more & learn to trust us. She rejected the little c**t & stomped his head to kill him. Turns out our Mini Mule (CJ) stepped in & protected him, even from us. He is an Amazing Mini Mule. We immediately called the Vet when we found him at morning feeding. He had to much damage & could not saved. Warning: Graphic pictures in comments. He was a fighter our little boy Moose. Our Vet bill was $592 plus $200 for cremation. We also need to stock up on hay ($13 bale for great quality Orchard Grass & $45 for a round bale), plus feed $28 a bag (Nutrena Senior), Our Farrier will be out this coming Saturday ($270), a big Vet bill coming again soon for routine shots, coggins, teeth, etc. We are asking you to help us cover these costs. Any amount helps & is tax deductible. You can also call Tractor Supply directly & order the feed online or call. Links for donations below or you can use the QR codes.
