Eaglewing Sanctuary and Refuge

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.

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!

Good morning from the sanctuary. We got hit hard with a blizzard yesterday and lost power for almost 15 hours. We got some pretty big snow drifts and had to dig out to feed and lost one of the goat houses. We are in need of donations as we have lots of cleanup and some repairs to do.
All the animals are doing well and power has been restored. We also have wish lists on Chewy and Amazon. Thank you for your continued support.

Hello from the sanctuary! It was a long, cold winter for us here at the sanctuary, but we are starting to warm up now and thaw out, so the cleanup begins. All the animals are appreciating the warm weather and are starting to shed out.
We are still in need of donations, as spring approaches, we will need to do vaccinations and other essential things to keep everyone healthy. We also have wishlists on Chewy and Amazon.
Thank you all for your support!

I took advantage of the warmth to get some pics. Now, the cleanup begins. We are always in need of donations. Thank you for your support.

Good morning from the sanctuary. We have had a very tough few weeks here with the cold temperatures and snow. Unfortunately, we have had to say goodbye to a couple of our senior goats, and we also lost our sweet boy Loki to a condition called white muscle disease. Our hearts are broken over the loss of these sweet babies, but we will honor them by moving forward and ensuring everyone has the best in their forever home.

We are still in need of donations so we can continue to provide a permanent home for all of our wonderful animals, including many senior and special needs animals. Thank you all for your support.

We are finishing up our final preparations for the arctic blast that will hit us tonight. We have our new load of hay and lots of extra bedding for the animals. We probably won't get above freezing until next Friday. It's going to be a tough week for us and the animals. We are still short on donations, and today is $5 Friday. We also have our wishlists on Chewy and Amazon. Thank you!

Good morning from the sanctuary. It's a cold 4° outside this morning, and we got about 3 inches of snow yesterday. Everyone is fed and doing well. Winters can be pretty brutal at times out here.

Good morning from the sanctuary. As the year comes to a close, I reflect on the animals whose lives we've saved and those we've lost. Rescue efforts present unique challenges, but the rewards are well worth it. Thank you to all our supporters and followers; without you, this wouldn't be possible. Here are some memories of the year.
As always we are in need of donations and we now have an updated wishlist on Chewy and Amazon.https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/364W1FHONX4GV?ref_=wl_share

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
