Rescue 💙 #GivingTuesday
The good, bad, ugly, and beautiful are just a few components of rescue and hard to summarize in one video such as this.
This year has especially been a journey as we've had many successful adoptions, but it came with some of the worst neglect cases we've laid eyes on and on top of that we've had our share of losses.
Every rescue is different, but the end goal is the same and we cannot thank you enough for choosing our rescue to support, whether that's through donating, volunteering, or even just engaging with us through social media and helping us reach more people.
Today is Giving Tuesday and if you would like to make a contribution so that we can continue this journey that we are ready to take on again in 2025, you can refer to our pinned fundraiser post or click the link below to immediately go to it. You can also donate via our website. We have a very generous donor that is willing to match up to 1,000 in donations so your contributions are currently doubled.
Thank you again for choosing us as your rescue 💙

Happy Thanksgiving from DITR 🧡
Featuring little Muffin to brighten you and your family's day today 🍂
Look at how big (and wooly) Muffin has gotten! This sweet girl is thankful to have been rescued with her momma and mini herd. Because of that she is able to grow up to be the free spirit she is! They are all safe because of generous people like you who allow us to rescue horses in need.
We have a Giving Tuesday fundraiser going on a few posts down for those who would like to contribute to our rescue horse's care and for future rescues to come!
DITR wishes you all and your families a happy Thanksgiving, we'd love to know what you are thankful for this year!
We are beyond thankful for all of our volunteers, staff, and supporters who make up our rescue and allow us to continue serving the equine community in and around Isle of Wight County, we couldn't do what we do without you 🧡
This little piggy is looking for her forever home. Very friendly. Has been kept inside and out. Not a rooter! Please help! 100.00 rehoming fee contact Nicole T 910-431-4431 in va beach
Meet Bambi, our newest sanctuary member 💛🦌
Like many of our sanctuary horses, Bambi was brought to DITR by her owner to ensure she'd have a soft landing. Bambi is 30 years old, an age not uncommon for minis such as herself, and is continuing to enjoy "retirement" life here at the rescue where she works to gain weight and live her best life.
Bambi is available to sponsor on our website. To do so, check out our "Sponsor a Horse" tab on our website to learn more about Bambi and our other sanctuary equines 💛

The serenity of Muffin ❤️
*Please no adoption inquiries*
Enjoy a short video of our youngest Diamond enjoying a peaceful evening. Muffin is a carefree spirit who has shown us how much she loves running around and getting attention.
More updates on our mini herd to come!
It's time we introduce you to our new additions!
We are not accepting adoption applications for these guys at this time, they still have a bit of a read ahead of them before they are able to be adopted. We will post more about each one as time goes on.
As many of you know, we were asked to take on the horses involved in the Carrollton County seizure back in July. These guys have adjusted beautifully to their new life and have received the care and treatment they needed. We can not thank those involved in their rescue and our donors and supporters enough. These animals are safe because people like you give them a voice.
We'd also like to thank Bluegrass Animal Products, Triple Crown Feed, St. Brides Feed and Farm Supply, and Old Dominion Hay for their generosity and assistance with our new additions.
Special thanks to Cathy Lombardi, The Oaks Equine and Farm Service, and Isle of Wight County Animal Services for your help and support.
We'd like for you to officially meet Little Girl, Charlie Brown, Momma, and her baby Muffin ❤️
Bright futures ahead for these little guys, and we can't wait to take you along for that journey.
If you would like to contribute towards their care please see our donation button on this post. They still have a long way to go!
Thank you all again. Welcome to the good life, little ones ❤️
What do you think Stevie's dreaming about? 🤔😴
Yesterday was a cozy indoor day for the horses and volunteers alike, but that didn't stop us from having a great volunteer meeting! Thank you to our new and returning volunteers for making it such an amazing day!!
We apologize for the lack of updates. The heat we've faced these past couple months limited our activities this summer and once it cools off it's time to start prepping for our annual Haunted Barn! If you are interested in volunteering or attending our upcoming event in October check our website and keep an eye out for updates on our Haunted Barn - Windsor VA page.
We hope to have more updates on our Diamonds soon!
We are interrupting Turbo’s nap to announce our Valentine’s Day Contest. One Diamond 💎 will be featured each day with a donate button. Each donation equals a heart on their door. The horse with the most hearts on their door wins a bucket of treats.
Misty showing us she's excited for Christmas with a dance! 🩰🎄
Our rescue arabians just love to show off! Would you believe me if I told you they're 20+ years old?! Misty and her best friend Heidi are spending the holidays with us, but we won't stop until we find their perfect forever home!
We hope everyone is having Merry Christmas Eve!! ❤️💚
