Just when rescue gets tough, in comes “Fleet of Angels” to help, awarding
CARE a much needed hay grant for our sanctuary horses.

CARE relocated the sanctuary in response to the wildfire threat which seemed to increase every year. The sanctuary was located in the Borel evacuation zone. CARE made the right decision to move and now can continue to help equine and companion animals at risk.

A ‘Fleet of Angels’ and CARE happy horses! Rescue life is good when you don’t have to worry about feed and you have a fleet of angels on your side!

CARE has 3 senior horses around 30 years old. All are UTD on teeth floating and have lots of wear from years of chomping.

To keep them healthy and at normal weight, CARE includes alfalfa cubes and pellets along with alfalfa and grass hay as part of the daily feedings.

CARE has a couple stalls if needed for evacuees at our sanctuary in Bakersfield.

If you need shelter from the Borel Fire please send us a message. We will try our best to help.

Here comes Curly. She is full of curls when she’s got her winter coat. Curly is the friendliest Jenny donkey.

She has a BLM freeze brand and was born wild, originally adopted from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). She was kept with another horse, Dakota that CARE also rescued. Both were underweight and had raw wounds from fly bites and allergic reactions.

Living in a neglected situation both equine were rescued and came to reside at CARE (2022) for the rest of her life. ❤️

Look for Dakota update to come..

LOVE some Curly Donkey 🫏 she’s doing much better with lots of CARE!

Oh my goodness!
If anyone needs help adopting this little or another dog, I will be happy to pull and facilitate adoption.

We have a crisis, if we don’t CARE for these precious animals, they will surely die…

Super big thank you to

Oddfellows Bellflower Lodge #463

Keep your animals cool:

Top tip from UC Davis attached article

“To lower body temperature, hose off your horse or pour a bucket of water over your horse.”

I turn on a sprinkler mid day when it’s hottest. Valentino will stand in it and the other will stand near it but they all enjoy a little relief from the heat.

Read the article for more tips on how to keep your horse cool in this heat wave.

Being mindful and planning ahead can help prevent heat-related problems in horses.

Awareness is essential. Check on your animals often.

When celebrating the Fourth of July this year, we would like to remind everyone that fireworks can affect animals and people alike in very negative ways. Please be safe and celebrate responsibility🇺🇸🧨

Here is a handy tool to see how much you should feed your horse.

Use the Standlee Feed Calculator® to determine the best mix of forage, manufactured grain-based feed, oil and/or beet pulp for your horse.

Scarlet, My tractor is my right hand girl. I couldn’t do all this work without her! Paid for with my personal savings. Just another way I donate to the cause. Do you CARE? Please donate to help feed our herd. That’s all I ask for…. For the horses! Donations for feed, fly control, supplements, farrier and vet. All that and more is not funded….

Valentino, our red roan gelding, has been losing weight and no matter what I try I can’t seem to get him back on track.

Our veterinarian has seen him and recommends additional softer feed and further testing and treatment. There is a possibility of a gastric abcess or cancer.

Yesterday’s vet bill was over $1000. I desperately need your help! Grant funds don’t fully cover the bill.

Sometimes seniors (animals and people) start failing and we can’t stop the normal process at the end of life. But we can’t turn our backs and allow suffering either

I’ve changed Valentino’s diet to include soaked hay cubes, senior feed, psyllium, rice bran, weight gainers, ulcer guard, coconut oil… what else? Electrolytes, beet pulp and benamine for pain. An additional $300. - $500. a month to keep him maintained and it may still not be enough.

All this cost is above and beyond feed cost for the rest of the herd. $500. month

The CARE pot is empty, donations are almost non existent. I am overwhelmed with worry and how we are going to make it.

I will continue to seek grant money and CAREgiver’s that believe in helping others.
I’ll use every penny I have, then I’ll find more penny’s somewhere. (Penny was our first rescue, A Belgian Draft mare that won my heart as I was working to win hers.)

I can’t turn my back on Valentino and animals like him that need MORE as they age.

Just like us humans! Do you CARE?

This is another local rescue that needs your help. This is a legitimate rescue doing a lot of good work.

Please follow this rescue and support them any way you can. Donate, interact and/or share… it all helps.

I should be planning a big 5 year anniversary celebration for the rescue but instead I'm filled with dread and fear about how to continue on. Our general fund is dangerously low and I need to make a hay order...

We have 5 horses waiting in the wings to come into our rescue (from local situations where their owners cannot keep them) but we need help!

Neo, in the picture, had his eye removed at the end of April along with another horse, Marshmallow. Both suffered from uveitis and Neo's left eye had progressed to painful glaucoma. Their bill was just under $3,000 and we fundraised $25! One person made a donation of $25! It's not sustainable and I'm not sure where I'm going wrong! 😩😩😩

It's hard to ask for help but we are! Please share or consider donating or creating a birthday fundraiser on Facebook for your birthday! Thank you!

Does any CAREgiver have a good decent trailer they could donate? See trailer below available at Tractor Supply for comparison.
****
Each month CARE pays an additional fee for hay delivery, ranging from $75. -$150.

If CARE had a trailer to pickup hay, that’s a cost saving that can be converted to at least 3 additional bales of hay.

Please help CARE continue to provide sanctuary and free veterinary services for horses and dogs.

What do you call a pack of sleeping dogs?

Bed Hogs!

CARE Sanctuary dogs enjoy the air conditioning inside while temperatures are in the 90’s outside.

CARE needs dog food, this is an unexpected expense but there’s always a risk in rescue. The risk of trying to save one more pregnant dog, one more homeless dog, one more hospice dog, one more…
