I wanted to show you guys the progress I’m making on Kevin, Mrs. Featherbottom and Lucille 2’s run I’m building! When it’s finished, it will be totally predator proof and enclosed in plastic panels for winter. I decided to just build it myself because it would end up being less expensive for longer lasting wood than if I purchased one that was prebuilt. So I rolled up my sleeves and got to work (with the occasional help of my ten year old 🥰)!

This entire area of the sanctuary has taken so much longer to finish off than I ever intended. I also wanted to do a big reveal when I finished the entire area. It’s going to look so nice and be so safe for them! However, life has thrown us so many curve balls this past year and progress has been slow on all fronts. I’ve also changed my mind on a few aspects of it to better suite the big birds year round.

I was originally going to put up fence panels around the enclosure but then decided to put a more permanent fence in (which would actually cost a little less) and use the extra money from that to build a totally enclosed run so they have a larger, safe space during the harsh winter months.

I’m working on getting fence posts in now but have been plagued with sick kids that need a lot of my attention. One just got over pneumonia and now today, on a beautiful 40 degree day perfect for installing fencing, a stomach bug has hit. I’ve actually tried to just get someone to come out and dig the holes for me but can’t seem to find anyone reliable! That’s not surprising with as far out in the country as we are.

So I’ll just dig the fence post holes one at a time checking in on the kids as I go along. It’ll be a longer process but I’ll get it done.

I’ve promised you guys this area will be totally safe for these birds and I will definitely fulfill that promise! Sometimes it just takes me a bit longer because of all that life hands out for us to juggle. I just wanted to check in with you all and show that the works getting done even if at a slower pace. Thanks for always supporting these animals and creating such a kind, supportive space 💜

Sullivan James just wants to check in and let you all know we’ve raised $430 of the $620 we need for this necessary barn upgrade! 🥳 That means only $190 more to go! It’s also $5 Friday!! Would you like to help get us past our goal? I’d LOVE to knock this project out this weekend and be ready for the winter weather to roll on in. It’s coming very soon!

Sullivan James was our first horse rescue. It turns out I really have a huge spot in my heart for old horses with special needs 😅 this means we need to make some unique living space accommodations so we can offer them the best our sanctuary has to offer.

We are going to build a space inside the barn for all three horses to safely be in when the weather gets bad.

I couldn’t give these old timers the soft landing they deserve without the support of our community. You guys mean the world to them! They’re only able to be with us and safe because of you all. Thank you! ❤️

Happy Tuesday everyone! I’m sitting here with my little one, who’s still sick, thinking about one last project I would love to get done before the cold really settles in.

Here’s my dilemma. Dash absolutely can’t be closed in a small space. He becomes a danger to himself when he is. Sullivan has limited eyesight and is creature of habit because of this. He needs his familiar space, smells and company. Sullivan also needs a separate space to eat since he’s got older slower teeth than his bestie, Bella.

When winter storms come (which omg will be so soon) I would love to provide them all with a way to be completely inside but also have the individual space they need. We’re fortunate to have a large lean to they can be under but I currently have no way to allow Bella and Dash inside at night and provide Dash with his open escape route as well as Sullivan with his separate space to munch his hay.

Luckily, the barn is huge! I can put up what are called corral panels and create a wonderful space for all of them. It’ll be open enough for sweet old Dash and have a separate area for Sullivan so he can eat in peace.

We need three of the ten foot panels and one gate/panel combo. I’ve attached images of exactly what we need. The total for this is $620. Every project like this sets us up to be in a better position to help animals in the future as well. This space was only supposed to be temporary but now we know the horses love it so much we need to make it more permanent.

Would anyone like to help with this project? We are 100% donation based and couldn’t do this without help from our community. Thank you all so so much for your continued support! 💜

A few sanctuary updates! 💫

The horses got their hooves trimmed up on Sunday and everything looks great with them! Our farrier was reminiscing about when she was out every two weeks for Sullivan when we first rescued him. He was the first horse I’d ever had the privilege of caring for and I’m lucky to have found such a knowledgeable and compassionate farrier. They’ll be at an 8 week trim cycle through the winter unless I feel they need it before then. I keep a close eye on those hooves!

Bella and Sullivan got f***l result back and their parasite level is relatively low which is really great! I’ll get Dash’s done hopefully this next week. I’ve also got to take in samples for Lilo and Stitch.

We would love any and all support so we can continue to take care of all these animals that desperately needed a safe, forever home. I couldn’t do this without your help and appreciate each and every person that shows these animals that they are seen and they matter 💜

We’d like to introduce our newest resident here at Patched Hearts! This sweet little pup is Birdie.

We get asked constantly to take on new residents and have had to say no countless times recently due to a lack of solid infrastructure (like fencing and housing, we’ll get there but it’s a slow process). I’ve been really struggling with wanting to help the animal world because it’s absolutely abysmal out there on all rescue fronts. While we can’t take anymore farmed animals in at the moment, we decided we could take another dog into our home. Enter Birdie.

My amazingly, wonderful friend, recently rescued three dogs in a matter of days! Two were in horrible, unsafe conditions and my sweet Birdie was abandoned. I was confident I could add Birdie into my crew that lives in the house with us. We did a two week stray hold but of course nobody came forward to claim her. I hopped in my car and drove over four hours to pick her up and bring her to her forever home with us.

Birdie is really settling in well! She was heartworm tested and given her first dose of flea/heartworm prevention prior to coming to us. I immediately took her to get started on her vaccines and we’ll be scheduling her spay soon.

With rescues, you never know what they may have experienced before they’re with you but I know that she’s a part of our family now and will get nothing but the best care and endless love from here on out 💜

Thank you, for taking the more difficult road just about every single time and never turning a blind eye to an animal in need. Birdie and I will always be grateful to you ❤️

Today, my awesome brother in law spent the day helping build a new indoor pen for Lilo and Stitch! I had originally made one for them that was supposed to be very temporary. My intention was for them to sleep closed up in their house outside but it turns out they didn’t care for that and would rather be inside the big barn 😅

The barn the horses and goats share was an empty hay barn when we first moved onto the property. I’m working on building up the inside but it’s been a process! The next task is to build a permanent area inside the barn for the horses. That’s another quick build I did that I thought would be temporary 🤡

I’m hoping to get these projects completed before winter. Time is running out! If you’d like to contribute to these protects we would be beyond thrilled. When all is said and done the goat stall, horse area with new footing will cost us just over $1,000. These are projects that need to be done in order for us to grow in a responsible way and provide the animals with the best care we can 💜

A memorable night for the kids and I as we did our sanctuary chores surrounded by the northern lights in the middle of October 💫 🍁 🌙

Just a few moments from the last week that made me smile 😊 Sometimes when I don’t feel like I’m doing enough, offering safety to enough, helping the rescue world enough I take a few minutes to browse my photos.

We’ve built quite a bit as a community over the past year and a half and have a lot to be proud of. It’s a slow process as we make sure all the animals have what they need and we learn how to take the best possible care of them. It’s the responsible way to run a sanctuary. I’m really grateful to all of you for supporting us through this process. We wouldn’t have been able to take in and care for all these animals without your support. You’re all awesome and I’m so grateful. I hope these happy, peaceful images bring you all some joy 💜

Hello Patched Hearts community. Thank you for the outpouring of love and support surrounding the loss of my guy, Paddington. I’m not able to respond to everyone at the moment because I’m so devastated by his loss that it’s difficult for me to revisit that post but I see it all and am so grateful to you.

In the spirit of transparency, I wanted to take a minute to walk you through the last few days as I don’t feel I actually got to do that very well in the moment. I always believe in transparency, especially surrounding the death of a resident.

On Sunday we started gearing up for a hot day. We made sure everyone’s houses were opened up and breezy, shade was ample, water was cold, all our usual precautions. I never leave during extreme weather so I can monitor everyone and provide all that’s needed to keep our residents safe. Sunday was no different. I frequently check everyone (some would say an obsessive amount but I’m an anxious person so here we are) all the time but especially during extreme weather.

I went to do a check on everyone and found Paddington laying down rapidly breathing. Although he had everything he needed to stay cool, and it hadn’t been long since I had checked on him previously, I immediately assumed he was overheating and sprung into action to cool him down. I misted him with a hose and put a wet towel on him as I got a crate and moved him into our air conditioned house. I then began monitoring his temperature and he cooled down quickly. I don’t have a temperature at the time I found him because I was focused on getting him inside. His temperature did not take long to lower which isn’t actually typical of animals that overheat. It typically takes a long time to get their temp back to normal.

It’s with a heavy heart I have to inform everyone that today we lost our sweet Paddington. He was not alone when he passed. I held onto him and told him how loved he was by everyone and to go find that bit of sunshine he loved so much.

Our hearts are broken. I’ll always wish I could have given him years of sunshine and fresh air but I’m grateful I got to care for him and know him. He was special and he was loved.

His doctors reassured me that there was nothing more we could do. Unfortunately, the years of neglect he faced contributed to his sudden decline. Please know we are so grateful to everyone who supported him and saw that he deserved everything ❤️

28/08/2024

Yesterday I made the decision to take Paddington to MSU to receive supportive care, 24 hour monitoring and more diagnostics if they’re needed. I loaded him up and the kids and I drive the 1.5 hours to East Lansing to get him the care he needs. Luckily, we somehow dodged all the storms that were tearing through Michigan yesterday! We saw a lot of damage on our drive but had clear sky and no rain.

We stayed with Paddington while they drew more blood and got an initial physical exam. His lungs and heart sound good and his temperature was normal.

In the image above I’m holding Paddington so they can draw blood. He’s such a little guy I’m easily able to lift him up and roll him backwards onto his back. This is how pigs are restrained for things life hoof trims and a lot of general care. It also works well for drawing blood.

They drew blood from his ear and we got results fairly quickly. His glucose (blood sugar level) continues to be low. They’re going to try and raise that by putting a very sugary substance on his gums which will absorb into his system. He’s also slightly dehydrated which is to be expected. They’ll continue administering re**al fluids to help get him hydrated again.

One concern I have is that he has neurological damage from the heat stroke. Overheating can cause the brain to swell and this can cause long term damage to the brain. He’ll get a full neurological exam and I’m anxious to see what they find.

He got snuggled into a stall with straw and hopefully laid down to rest. I’m waiting for an update to see how our guy did overnight. He just looked so depressed. I’m really hoping the supportive care helps get him feeling better.

The estimate for his care was $2,000-3,000. I put a $1,500 deposit down which is required. Any donation towards his care is appreciated beyond belief. No donation is too small and all your kindness is felt by me and Paddington. Thank you so much for caring about him!

Hello from a very tired sanctuary owner! I’ve been rather absent lately as we battle Covid (I’m still feeling the effects of it but am doing better) and getting ready to start school. Then a heat wave hit us after temps just a week ago were dropping into the 40’s at night.

Our Paddington didn’t handle the heat well on Sunday and ended up becoming overheated despite my constant monitoring and cooling. He must have gotten himself into a situation in between my checks and the timing was just not in his favor. He also doesn’t know quite how to be an outside pig which is why I’m always extra cautious with him. I quickly brought him inside and got him cooled down. Unfortunately he has not bounced back like we had hoped he would.

Since this episode he has been depressed and doesn’t want to eat. He is drinking water. I immediately put a call into our vet and they have been out twice now to administer medication and we also placed a re**al catheter this morning so he could get supportive fluids. We ran labwork which was pretty unremarkable except his sugar level was low. I’ve been putting honey on his gums to try and correct this.

We’re running out of options for at home care and I’m now deciding whether a trip to MSU is warranted. This isn’t an easy decision to make with pigs anyway but we are also under a severe weather watch so transporting him isn’t necessarily going to be very easy. He also has his previous salmonella diagnosis so he’ll be put into isolation which can be hard on pigs mentally and is also incredibly costly.

My gut is telling me he needs additional attention and I would really love to not have cost be a factor in our decision making process. I’m asking for help to cover the cost of this hospital trip which could be and probably will be in the thousands. I hate to have to ask, especially after being so absent but we have been really just trying to get by over here. August has been such a challenge.

Any amount helps as does sharing and spreading the word! This is how we make sure these critters get the best care possible. Paddington has had such a rough life I just want him to know he’s got us in his corner no matter what happens. Thank you!

Our equine vet just left! I of course was helping hold horses and also talking to our vets every step of the way so all I’ve got are pictures after they left. Dash is asking me if they left yet and Sullivan is coming out of his sedation 😅

Dash did awesome and we’ll get his labwork results next week! I’m very interested to see the results for his insulin levels and Cushing’s. I’m really proud of how well he did! With a handful of treats the vet had no problem drawing his blood. What a rockstar!

I also ended up having a full eye exam done on Sullivan James. He’s only got the one “good eye” left and I want to make sure we keep it functioning for as long as possible. I had seen a lot of debris on the actual eye ball several times and wanted to make sure it wasn’t still there and wasn’t causing any irritation as that eye is always weepy.

He was sedated and they injected a drug into the area around the eye to “block” the nerves so they could do a thorough examination. They didn’t find any debris in the eye. What they did find is that the lens of his eye is incredibly crinkly so he’s probably only able to see light and dark and a little color. Theres no irritation to the eye. The drainage I see is because the passageway that allows the eye to drain is completely blocked. Other than it just looking a little unsightly this is not an issue.

I’m so glad he’s got no pain in that eye. That was my main concern! We’ve got awesome vets and I’m so happy they were able to come out and give these guys the care they deserve.

We get zero cell service out here (🤡) so they’ll send me the invoice when they get back to the clinic but I’m sure it’s going to be quite a bit. We could use all the support we can get right now. Running a sanctuary ethically is not cheap and you can’t cut corners. We make a promise to each animal that comes on our property that we will be their family forever and that they will get the best care we can provide. Our community helps make sure we can always keep that promise. Thank you so much for caring about these animals! 💜

Arnold aka Arnie aka Ranoldo aka Kerndy aka Smerndy… the list goes on 😅 Over the last year Arnie’s skin got dry, thick and just looked very unpleasant. He actually didn’t seem bothered by it at all but I couldn’t look at it and not think I could be doing better. Pig skin issues can be a challenge because what we’re able to do is so weather dependent. You can’t apply topical treatments in winter and you have to be careful not to get them burned in the sun in the summer. His vet has been out a couple times and I think I’ve finally got a routine that’s going to get him looking his best.

Pigs routinely get Ivermectin to keep mites from becoming an issue. Unfortunately, many pests are becoming resistant to our drugs of choice because of overuse so the first thing we tried was switching to another mite treatment. I diligently used a spray on formula and saw no improvement. He also hated having to be sprayed so often (shocker 😅).

Our final treatment plan includes a mite treatment commonly used in dogs that can be given by mouth along with a medicated bath given every three days. The medicated bath does not treat mites but instead will help clear up any irritation secondary to what’s going on with this guy. We really aren’t even sure it is mites but we’re covering all our bases.

So my routine is slathering him with conditioner and letting that set for about 30 minutes, I then give him a nice exfoliating scrub down with the medicated shampoo, the last step is putting a medicated homemade sunscreen allllll over him.

So far our routine is working! I do think he trends dry and I may never be able to get him to be a sparkling pink pig but the improvement I’m seeing is encouraging.

Farmed animals deserve vet care and they deserve to have someone tackle any issues that may come up. Let’s hope I can get Arnie all squared away before winter hits! 💜

This handsome man is Dash. He gets to see the vet tomorrow to have blood drawn. We’re monitoring his insulin levels and checking for Cushing’s disease. When he came to us last year, I knew his insulin level was at the very high end of normal. We’ve managed it through diet change (making his mash lower in sugar by adding more beet pulp pellets and switching him to Timothy pellets) and so far he’s done well! However, he’s not shedding his winter coat all the way which is a sign that things aren’t quite where we want them.

It’s a privilege to take care of this old man and provide him with the care he deserves. I can’t express how much I love that we’re able to do this for him.

Our Dashy (I actually often times call him my Dashly) doesn’t like a lot of human interaction. We’ll keep his vet visit short and to the point and always have his best interest in mind.

To me this vet appointment (which we have had schedule for several weeks) takes priority over getting our plumbing issue fixed so I pushed that appointment back by one week. Do we desperately need it repaired? Yes. Is essential vet care the priority? Definitely.

We’ve raised $800 out of the estimated $2,700 needed for the yard hydrant. As soon as I get Dash’s final bill for tomorrow I’ll be sure to share it!

You all take such excellent care of all these critters and I couldn’t be more grateful! I hope we can get all these recent expenses tackled so we can continue to grow. Thank you! 💜

Happy Thursday! We’re so close to getting through this heat wave! 🥳

Paddington was a bright spot in my week. He always greets me with a tail wag and happy grunts but also has just enough attitude to keep me on my toes, which I love about him! 😅❤️

He’s more challenging to take care of in extreme weather because of the neglect he’s faced but I’ll always rise to the challenge and make sure he’s comfortable because he is, without a doubt, worth it.

Have a wonderful day and stay cool! 😎

I never thought I’d have a job where I’d be so tuned into the weather. I basically live on my weather app and have no idea how people got by before easy access to the forecast was available 😅 We just had a cold snap and small winter storm roll through last week and we have another coming this week. I’ll go through each house and totally change out all the bedding to ensure it’s dry and filled to the brim. Animals in wet bedding when it’s cold out is dangerous for their health. Straw makes a wonderful insulator so they’ll all get cozy bunch of dry straw to nest in. I don’t skimp which means we are flying through bedding! I’ll head out today and pick up more from Family Farm and Home. If you’d like to help contribute to this supply run I would really appreciate the support. I know the holidays are fast approaching and if you’re like me, you’re probably stretched pretty thin so I really am so grateful we can all come together and keep these animals warm and dry. I wouldn’t be able to do this without our community 💜 Each bag of shavings is $6.25. I use shavings in every single animal enclosure. We easily go through 6 bags of shavings a week in the winter. I’ll also pick up a bale or two of compressed straw. I use this to keep the geese and Lucille 2 nice and snuggly warm. I also spread it over any muddy spots around their outside house. Each bale is $21.99. I’ll get as many bags of shavings as I can fit in my little red mini van! Someday I’ll have a truck 🤡 but until then it’s a game of Tetris and I just pack in as much as I can.

I’ve been processing the events of this past week and have a few thoughts I’d like to share. I can no longer exist in this space without it being explicitly clear that I do not support the hate that was voted into office and I will not be shy in saying so. I also cannot keep the animal world separate from the political world. The people coming into office have absolutely no compassion. I have been in some form of rescue work and veterinary medicine since 2006 and I have seen what happens to animals when people don’t have financial stability. When I hear someone saying, Americans are going to have to suffer “hardship”, my compassion extends beyond the human suffering and knows how much the animal world will suffer too. I fear for the rescue and sanctuary world. If you’re one of the many people that no longer feel safe in our country, I’m with you 💜

Well, we started the day off needing to fundraise for our farrier day coming up and are ending it with a plumbing emergency that’s got me very anxious. Our hydrant that supplies water to our residents needs to be totally replaced. Unfortunately this isn’t an easy job and it’s expensive. The estimate to have a bigger excavator come and dig up the existing pipe so they can get in and replace everything is $2,700. If we don’t raise the funds for this, I’ll be forced to completely stop all animal intakes for the foreseeable future. I want nothing more than to provide a safe home for any animal in need but a huge expense like this for a start up sanctuary is… a lot. If not taking care of this issue was an option I would gladly go that route. But this is the main water supply for the animals, so this is necessary. Fundraising has never come easy to me. I’m much more comfortable giving away everything I have down to my last penny and ounce of time than I am asking for help. But I have to step out of my comfort zone because (as I’ve been reminded recently) this is one hundred percent for the animals. I always appreciate any support we’re offered. Every like, comment, share and donation is seen and valued by me. No amount of support is too little and I could use all the support we as a community can muster! Thank you all so much!

So much spring cleaning going on at Patched Hearts! That means sprucing up the critters too! Sullivan James, Bella and Dash all got scrubbed up and spiffy yesterday. It was gorgeous weather for it! I love watching them roll around on bath day. They’re happy and at ease! Now that they’re all dry I’ll go back and give them all a good brushing as they are all shedding their winter coats and are now little dust pots from all that rolling in the dirt. None of this makes for exciting content but of course it’s essential to their routine care and keeping them healthy so I’ll continue to share!

Vanellope update! 💫 You guys! Look at this girl go!This is a quick glimpse of the work we’re putting in so we’re able to communicate with each other. I’ve learned so much about Vanellope from working with her every day. I’ve learned more about her personality, her comfort zone and just how eager she is to learn. In this video we’re working on “sit” which is a tap on her hind end, “follow me” which is a swipe under her chin and “down” which is a swipe down her right leg. She’s also learned that two taps behind each front paw means she should offer me her paw. This training is also helping me give her little mind some direction. Deafblind dogs can get overstimulated and can have a hard time settling, so this kind of work helps get her centered again. It also helps her navigate a house with 3 young kids, 3 cats and 4 little dogs 😅 She’s doing wonderfully and is settling in well at Patched Hearts! 💜 Patched Hearts Farm Sanctuary is a 501c3 nonprofit providing a safe, loving home for animals in need.
