Eaglewing Sanctuary and Refuge

We are a 501c3 non-profit providing a forever home to fainting goats, a llama, potbellied pigs, sheep, mini-donkeys, ponies, & horses. It does get expensive.
(2)

A quick decision in May 2018 led me to become the guardian of about 40 farm animals. Our "babies" now number over 56 and include miniature donkeys and horses, sheep, potbellied pigs, a llama and a large herd of Tennessee Fainting goats. In July 2019, the animals were transported 1300 miles to a new sanctuary - their forever home is located on 36-acres in Yoder, Colorado, which is approximately 25

minutes east of Colorado Springs. While this will always be a labor of love for me. On average, it costs over $20,000 a year to take care of our animals at the sanctuary. By far, the largest cost is the approximate forty tons of hay they eat during the year which results in a hay bill of $17,000. Other costs include special feed, vet, farrier and shearing services and building materials needed to ensure that each of the animals enjoy the best quality of life we can provide for them. If you would like to partner with us to help feed and care for these sweet animals or even sponsor one of the animals, we welcome your involvement - to any extent. We also happily accept any surplus building materials that can be used to repair existing shelters or build new ones. Tax deductible donations ( #85-1952395) can be made via:
Venmo (www.venmo.com/EaglewingSanctuary) or
PayPal (EaglewingSanctuary) and
Facebook. Always feel free to reach out and ask any questions. Thank you!

🛑 $5 Friday 🛑
Good morning! Today is Five Dollar Friday, and we're receiving a new load of hay. The past week has been challenging due to snow and mud, and we're still cleaning up. We are in need of donations, which can be made through our page or website, EaglewingSanctuary.org. Thank you.

11/09/2024

Three days of snow and wind have left us with 36 inches of snow and 5- to 6-foot snow drifts. Now we dig out. All the animals are doing well and have been fed. Big shout out to my husband who's been out there for several hours making sure everyone has a safe path to water and hay.

11/07/2024

As we are dealing with cold temps and significant snow fall the next couple of days here at the sanctuary we wanted to share our post for again.
All of the animals are doing well snuggled up in their shelters and straw. Thank you!

Happy Halloween from all of us at the sanctuary. 🎃

Good morning, it's going to be a busy day with fall vaccinations and hoof trimming for all 23 goats and 6 sheep.

10/20/2024

We're getting things cleaned up in preparation for winter, but we still need donations for straw and other essential items as some of our animals are older and require more feed in the colder months. If you can help we have several ways of doing so on our page or website .org. thank you for your support.

This video shows what happened. All the animals are okay. The weather can change quickly out here. #eaglewingsanctuaryandrefuge

Good morning from the sanctuary. We have a brutal day ahead of us here. The weather is calling for 70mph winds and we already have 1 to 2 ft snow drifts. Everyone is fed and doing well. We will be keeping a close eye on them today. Yes, the horses are fine. That's just where they want to be. They do have a large wind break and shelter. We will probably have to do some repairs after the storm passes. If you would like to help out we do accept all donations including building materials and tin.Thank you all for your support. #eaglewingsancutuaryandrefuge #foreverhome #sanctuary #rescue

Hello from the sanctuary. We did our interview this morning with FOX21 News and WireNut Home Services for the 3-Degree Guarantee. We can't thank them enough for supporting us for the month of December. This was a wonderful experience. Thank you also to all of our supporters who voted for us. #eaglewingsancutuaryandrefuge #ForeverHome #sanctuary #rescue
