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!

❤️ $5 Friday ❤️
Good morning from the sanctuary. It's Five Dollar Friday. Summer is moving in, and the animals are loving it after a long, cold winter. Many of the animals that call the sanctuary home are older or special needs so they're happier with the warmer temperatures. We are always in need of donations, and we also have wishlists on Chewy and Amazon. Thank you for your support.

One of our little potbelly pigs is Tw***ie. She's the sweetest little girl, loves everyone, and loves running around the yard with the dogs. There's a good possibility that she might think she's a dog.😆

Good morning from the sanctuary! In remembrance of all.

♥️ The Side of Farming No One Talks About ♥️

There’s a saying that sticks with you as a farmer:
“Where there’s livestock, there’s deadstock.”

It’s not something you’ll see on most farm pages.
We share the cute chicks, the egg baskets, the peaceful pasture mornings—and those moments are real and beautiful.

But the loss is just as real—and often makes a bigger impact on the farmer.

Death is an undeniable part of raising animals.
It’s rarely talked about, maybe because it feels too heavy for social media.

But every farmer knows it. You can do everything right—offer the best feed, the safest shelter, the gentlest care—and still lose one. Or several.

It hurts every time.
And yet, we keep showing up.
We keep caring.

Because loving animals means accepting the whole cycle—beginnings and endings. Even when it feels like we’ve failed or let the ones we lost down, we have to keep going—for the ones still depending on us.

So if you're following a farm or rescue page like ours, thank you—
For seeing more than just the pretty pictures.
For valuing the real story behind what we do.

💜With gratitude,

Eaglewing Sanctuary and Refuge

❤️ $5 Friday ❤️
Hello from the sanctuary. We have been getting some much-needed moisture, and things are starting to green up. We will be getting everyone vaccinated and dewormed for the warmer months. We could use some donations to help with the cost. Tomorrow is going to be $5 Friday, and every dollar counts. We also have wishlists on Chewy and Amazon. Thank you all for your support.

Good morning from the sanctuary! This is Tom, the "white donkey"; he's quite the character. One of our other donkeys is being treated for hoof separation, so we have to clean and rewrap her hoof every couple of days. She's doing well and healing. This morning, as I was wrapping her hoof, my husband hollered "ouch!" and Juniper jumped. He said Tom bit his butt, then he decided to give Juniper a little nibble as well. 🤣🤦‍♀️ Never a dull moment. Tom is very sweet, but it was breakfast time. 🤣 Just a little laugh for the morning. We are still in need of donations, and we also have wishlists on Chewy and Amazon. If you would like to help with Juniper's care, we are in need of gauze, vet wrap, and Banixx spray. Thank you for your continued support.
