It's a snowy day in the neighborhood ❄️🌨️

The gloomy day hasn't bothered the Budgies one bit! With a nice, cozy fire in the wood stove, some "Treasure Island" playing on the Yoto (LOL) and some yummy carrot to snack on, they are some happy feathered friends! We just love our little "chatter" of birds 🥰🦜

This year has certainly already been emotionally taxing on us here at Strawberry Fields Animal Rescue. We've already suffered such a great deal of loss and recently, we were hit with yet another blow; our Martha cat. Martha had been with us for the last 15 years and was such a beloved and special member of our S.F.A.R. family. She was first brought to us after being born a feral cat under Carson Valley Veterinary Hospital. She was such a fearful and aggressive youngster, that they were unsure of what to do with her once she'd been trapped. Being that we had just taken in another difficult feline, Benji, they reached out to us to see if we'd be willing to take in their angry and unmanageable cat. We agreed to give her a go and once she arrived, she was given the name Martha (after a good friend of ours and former team member who helped make the love connection possible). Upon her arrival to our previous location on Waterloo Lane, it was clear that she'd need some time to adjust and get comfortable with her new living arrangement, however, in time, both she and Benji became the best of friends and Martha was an expert in pest control! She was always on the hunt and kept all the vermin at bay (with Benji's help of course!) and she was especially fond of bird hunting! She loved to climb the tall trees and sneak up on her poor feathered prey. She always left us "gifts" that she'd taken such pride and care in catching. Although, it was a bit morbid, it always seemed to be a symbol of her love and adoration for us once we'd developed a closer bond and relationship with her. She went from being a formerly aggressive and nearly untouchable feline to being one of the most snuggly and gentle cats! Both she and Benji were inseparable and were two of the best greeters we could've ever dreamed up! Martha was always there to greet us with her sweet little "Meow"; she'd quickly flop herself over for a well deserved belly rub (she liked them rough! LOL). We will always remember her silly water antics, she LOVED to play in her water bowl and we would often find quite the aquatic mess on the floor due to her shenanigans. We will always miss her sweet face and all the love she brought to our lives. At nearly 17 years of age, she has made her journey to the Rainbow Bridge to be with so many others who we've loved and lost. We are so very grateful to Carson Valley Veterinary Hospital for bringing that once fearful and angry kitty to us, as she turned out to be one of our happiest hellos and hardest goodbyes. Benji and Cha Cha are simply not the same without her. Her absence is largely felt and her presence is so dearly missed. We will cherish all of the wonderful memories we made together through the years. Martha, may you rest in peace, until we meet again at the bridge. 🌈🐾

Our dear old gentleman Bruiser..what can we say..you were always such a character and such a mighty dog in a small package! You were unapologetically you and never hesitated to express your opinion on anything. We'll miss your independent nature and your loving, playful and snuggly side. We always have a soft spot for seniors here at Strawberry Fields Animal Rescue, and you were no exception. We cherished every moment spent with our little geriatric gentleman and we will miss him around here. At 18 years old, Bruiser definitely led a life only some dogs are lucky enough to have. He'd spent so many years as a beloved companion and when his mom passed away, he'd joined the S.F.A.R. pack and seemed to just fit right in and loved his other canine and feline housemates. Although, we are sad that he had to leave us, we are so happy to know that he had such a full and happy life. We know he's free now, calling the shots on the other side and keeping everyone in line at the Rainbow Bridge 🌈 we are certain that he and his mom are having such a wonderful reunion and we only hope that one day, we will meet him again at the Rainbow Bridge. Although, you may not be by our side, your paw prints will forever be on our hearts.We love you Bruisy, always and forever, the bestist boy!! ❤️ Rest in peace little man, until we meet again.

Well, 2025 has already presented us with many new challenges and loss...we know so many of you have been praying for Zen and sending us such supportive and kind messages regarding him and his condition and it absolutely breaks our hearts to have to share that we had to make the absolutely impossibly difficult decision to humanely end his suffering. The hole that his absence has left in our hearts and lives is bigger than we can even articulate. Zen was such a larger than life presence here (both in stature and personality) and he is missed beyond measure. Unfortunately, he was just deteriorating rapidly and his comfort and quality of life were decreasing by the day. Through his whole medical journey, he'd lost 30+ pounds and was continuously restless, bloated and clearly uncomfortable, despite our best efforts and treatments to manage his condition. On his final day, he'd begun throwing up and drooling uncontrollably. He was trembling and obviously felt miserable. We simply couldn't bare to watch our majestic, strong and sweet boy suffer any longer. We were so grateful to Peak Pet Urgent Care in Reno for their compassionate and kind care for our boy in our time of need. They not only were wonderful with Zen, they were so kind to us as we went through this devasting situation. Although, he is so very missed here, we are comforted in knowing that he is at peace now. He's free from the confines of his ailing body, from which he has been a prisoner of, even longer than we may have been aware. He is whole, happy and playful again, running with so many other friends at the Rainbow Bridge. We will carry Zen in our hearts forever and his thunderous exuberance we once felt in our home may be gone but the memory of his antics will live on. He always loved to romp in the fresh snow (something he'd never experienced prior to coming to Nevada as he was born a southern California boy), he enjoyed long walks and smelling the breath of any willing participant lol (such a strange hobby, however, it was one of Zen's favorites!), he absolutely adored his children, Finnley and Reign

Our hearts are heavy with the passing of a dear friend and supporter of many years, Sally Kelley of Kelleygreen Labradors from Gardnerville, Nevada. She was known, nationwide (and even throughout the world) for her quality, pedigree English Labradors. There is truly nothing like a Sally Kelley Labrador. Their unique look and classic, stocky appearance with their beautiful heads and rutter tails, set them apart from so many other Labradors that you would notice. It was always obvious when you'd see that signature Kelleygreen Kennel pup! Sally was a truly remarkable woman, always working hard from sun up to sun down, devoting her whole self to the breed she was always so passionate about! Sally never waivered in her devotion and dedication to her animals; always putting them first, until the very end. She was one of the most spirited, patriotic and kind hearted individuals we've ever had the pleasure of knowing and calling a friend. Through the years, Sally had not only dedicated so much of her own life to her English Labradors, but also championing animals in need, having quite a menagerie herself, she was always a generous supporter of our rescue efforts. Her kindness and friendship will not be forgotten. May her legacy live on in all of the Kelleygreen Labradors spread throughout our nation (and the world) and through all of the lives, human and animal alike, she was able to touch during her nearly 95 years on this earth. ❤️ We love you Sally, you will be so dearly missed. Rest in peace, may all of your beloved animals be there to greet you on the other side 🌈🐾
