Meet Annie

Annie is a 15-year-old beautiful chestnut mustang born in a Nevada holding facility. In 2016, we drove to Connecticut and rescued her along with another mustang, Summer (who was trained and rehomed in 2018). Their owners had moved away and left their herd of five mustangs behind. They'd never been trained or properly cared for.

Three of the mustangs were adopted by other people and the two most wild ones were left behind. It took a team of people and almost two hours to herd Annie and Summer into the trailer.

In the beginning, Annie had severe separation anxiety from Summer. But, with a lot of love and care, Annie became more independent. In 2018, she, too, was rehomed to a well-known mustang trainer in Georgia who wanted Annie as a companion for a pregnant mare.

Less than a year later, the word emerged that this reputable trainer was starving her herd. The mustang community bee-swarmed to take care of the surviving horses. Annie was one of them--the pregnant mare and foal had starved to death. It took a while to get Annie's health to the point that she could travel back to us. Our vet came and said she was practically a ZERO on the Henneke scale of horse health and was shocked that Annie had survived.

Today, Annie is thriving with her small herd of sanctuary mares at CZ Mustangs Sanctuary. She is a permanent resident here so that we can ensure she never has to suffer again.

Please consider contributing a recurring monthly donation to help us provide her with the grain, hay, supplements, and medical care that she needs.

Donate to help her and our other 26 sanctuary horses.

Big news for OMG!!!!! We will be switching from rescue to rescue and sanctuary with the emphasis on sanctuary.

With so many dogs and cats rescued, vetted, and rehomed, we have been very successful in our first 12 months.

Unfortunately, the demand for rescue far outweighs the donations to support the effort. And too many dogs either have been returned (Jackson, Waffles, Momma, Jellybean, Willow) that I cannot take in more rescues right now.

Momma is going to have big medical bills. Our recent influx of kittens need to be fixed. I am hoping that some of you might help by donating...even $10 helps. We have medical bills from Ruthie (RIP), Lil Nugget (tail amputation), and Jackson (run over by car) plus the upcoming bills. 🙁

Donations are tax deductible and can be PayPal’d to [email protected].

Please help if you can.

Congrats to Butter on her new home!!!!! A wonderful match with an awesome family. ❤️

Ok friends. We have a quest! 😬

This gal is in the running for Youth Fan Favorite of the KY Extreme Mustang Makeover. Ashlyn is a remarkable young woman and I’m very proud of her. Not only did she train this wild yearling in 90 days but she did this while rehabbing not one but TWO of the Boyle County KY starvation case mustangs. She spends every waking moment working with and caring for these horses.

I know from first hand experience how much sacrifice is involved from teenage girls who choose responsibility over sleepovers and parties and hanging out with friends.

Please take a moment to vote for her. I am on a mission to reward these young adults in training who put responsibility before self. Hopefully you will too! 🥰🥰

Rescue Chance...hanging poolside. He’s doing fantastic and is one of our sanctuary dogs. Scheduled for euthanasia because he was classified dangerous and could not return home, OMG is the only place that would take him. Legally we cannot adopt him out. But after four+ months here, there isn’t a dangerous bone in his body. The story that tore him from his loving parents was a lie—confirmed by doctors—which only makes the story sadder. But he’s loved here at OMG HQs. Isn’t he gorgeous?????

Dogs live life large and love with their whole being. This doggo, Waffle Hut, is my shadow —along with a few others. I’m never alone.

Consider adopting a dog. Miami-Dade Animal Services has tons available. We can always help find transportation.

This is what Levi has to say to that horrid horse “rescue”
woman in NJ who complained about donors helping pay a barn’s hay bill during this nationwide crisis.

A true rescue applauds any effort to help care for animals instead of making very untruthful statements.

Speaking of which, look how fat, happy, and beautiful Levi is!!!!! A very well taken care of horse, among all the others, thanks to skeleton crew of helpers and donors who contributed. Thank you for caring about horses and animals.

There are many different kinds of non-profit rescues. Those that help others, those that try to thwart efforts to help others, and those that hurt the animals they “rescue.”

We help others. We mind our business unless we see animal abuse or neglect going on. We help individuals. We help businesses. We’ve paid vet bills, bought hay, bought grain, bought dog food, donated cat food, paid for vetting, etc.

No one at our rescue gets a salary. NO ONE. I earn my income on my own. We do this out of pocket if people do not donate. Not a lot of rescues can say that.

We are registered in Florida and have submitted our registration in other states for fund raising.

My rescue dogs and horses and pigs and goats and cats are fat, happy, healthy, and—if placed—in good homes. Those that don’t place, stay here.

I’m hearing too much about shady rescues, horse hoarders, dog rescues gone bad, etc.

We focus on the animals...keep them safe and healthy. Save them before they need saving and seizing. If you love animals, you get that. If you don’t get that, well...I’m sorry about that for you. I will never apologize for helping an animal in need.

We are transparent. You have questions, I’ll answer them.

We’ve been working a lot but not posting a lot recently. Thought I’d update everyone.

We recently rescued two more horses from a major starvation case in KY. Joker and Ruthie are blending in nicely (except when I switch the day crew with the night crew for paddock rotation 🤦🏻‍♀️ ). Lol.

The doggos are doing great. Right now, three are in bed with me 😬 and four in doggie beds beside me. At this point, these are all sanctuary dogs for a variety of reasons...personality, age, obsession with being attached to me, etc.). One of the beagles that was placed is coming back and might be available for foster-to-adopt I have to access her personality—she is very skittish and scared of things which is like her sister who is here and I can’t rehome for the same reason. ☹️

While we are not taking in more animals, we are doing what we can to help find fosters or homes for those in need. We are also fund raising to help feed horses up north at my husband’s riding stable that regularly donated to OMG. Now with the barn being shut down, OMG is fund raising up north to buy feed for those horses.

We really really really need a couple of donations for Operation Mother Goose. I made a wish list on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/33749S6CI0GNY) and updated it with the shipping address (duh me). We really really really need the SUNSCREEN for Chrissy. She's getting sunburned.

If you'd prefer to help by providing financial donation, our PayPal is [email protected]. We have two rescue horses arriving shortly and they will need vetting, farrier, etc. Also, Chrissy had her first manicure...er, hoofacure?...today and her little hooves are so bad that the farrier has to come back again. So anyone who would like to help contribute to that, we'd appreciate it A LOT!!!!!!!
