Good humans are who we’re raising❤️ One of these little ones is starting riding lessons clear on the other side of the United States and when they went to their local tack store for supplies, they asked if we needed anything. Good used leather halters are ALWAYS needed around here and they found comfy shipping halters for our medical horses always on the move to vet and farrier appointments🛣️ This family went shopping for themselves and also thought about those who need help. This balance is incredible for the kids to see. So so grateful for our village. swipe to see Fleur rocking her shipping halter✨

These photos were taken earlier on Monday, the day Dandelion began to colic. I could tell she wasn’t 100% but she wasn’t bad either. She was eating, she was drinking, she was standing quietly, she was grumpy through her bandage change but she just wasn’t…right. The barn manager where she is stabled had a swamp cooler not being used so we wheeled that over for her. Maybe the hot day was just a lot for her? I put wet rags on her and hosed her legs because full body washes are out with her surgical site bandage.

They can change so quickly. The photo of her facing the swamp cooler was 20minutes before I was hooking up the trailer and rushing her to the vet. I was in the stall next door grooming another horse just to stay near, when I saw her lay down…and that’s when things got scary.

Shoutout to our wonderful fosters like Susan and her family. Susan had originally began volunteering by offering to transport a dog from Sierra Vista to Tucson for a meet & greet. Volunteer drivers mean EVERYTHING to us as we are a rescue in a small rural town. We learned that Susan was a Frenchie lover and she offered her home to foster if we had someone in need(a surprise to NOONE is that we are ✨aLwAyS✨ in need of fosters) Toast is a little boy who came to us and has had a rough past. He’s been to the ophthalmologist and we are in the process of navigating whether we can save 1 eye or 2 but a loving foster home is JUST what he needed before his scheduled eye and neuter surgeries. Thank you Susan and all of our other incredible fosters for loving these guys so hard.

If you are in the Sierra Vista or Tucson Arizona areas and want to learn more about fostering shoot us a message💌

Sometimes when things get really bad around here, I just do not have the bandwidth to manage each crisis and share with the world at the same time. Sometimes their fights just feel too personal and too fragile to welcome everyone’s opinion. When you see us go quiet around here. It’s usually because we are knee-deep in someone’s fight for their life.

This was dandelion five days ago when she began to colic. For those without horses, colic is synonymous with stomach ache. Not all colic cases can be treated the same because everyone’s stomach pain can be caused by something different. Gas, obstruction, impaction, temperature change, dehydration, food change, extreme temperature… any bit of any of those things can cause a horse to colic But rule of thumb is to always treat it as the emergency that it is.

We didn’t wait to see if she could perk up on her own. Immediately, Dr. Monika was called as we were hooking up the trailer to drive the 45 minutes toward help.

Five days later dandelion is not back to 100% but she is trending better every day and I will try to share updates to show The last week of caring for dandelion through post-surgical rehabilitation and her emergency care through colic.

Dandelion is no longer in Tucson with Sandy, but down where it is 10° cooler daily in Hereford, Arizona with Annette who is the world’s greatest vet tech .

If you want to help with dandelions Care, there are plenty of ways you can do that. If you would like to donate a bale of hay or a bag of senior feed you can contact our local feed store directly and I will put their information below. I will attach all of the regular ways to donate alongside any Amazon wish list with everything from supplies for changes to supplies while she continues with her 12 week stall rest.

We got this little old gator a few months ago and it has a few issues and I just this week started using it. I was using a wheelbarrow and made 3 trips twice a day to feed hay no big deal but now I only have to make one hay trip twice a day. This little Gator does not have seat covers and when looking them up, they are $200 for two new seats. Does anybody know if they have just cushion covers for the plastic? Please enlighten me 🙌🏼

Dandelion is not happy after her bandage change today. we are so lucky that she is so compliant and lets us do these daily bandage changes with no fight so if she gives me a wrinkled lip at the end of it, I’ll take it! We have started an Amazon wish list just for her that has daily needed bandage material and a few things to keep her comfortable while she is on mostly stall rest. Dandelion, Sandy and I appreciate our village ❤️

Things get so crazy busy I often forget to say thank you. Yesterday I was extra grateful to Olivia and John for picking up a medical supply delivery and a few things that we needed yesterday because I was having vehicle issues. Also a warm thank you to Diane from Cochise Lock & Safe for keeping our boxes safe and even offering to bring them after work ☀️
We are grateful for our village ♥️

Dandelion update! Post surgery she has needed a lot of extra care due to some complications with her surgery site that had partially dehisced (suture line came apart). It’s been daily bandage changes and three days ago she began to colic. She had to go in on an emergency basis and we are grateful for Dr. Monica making time to see her late at night and for noticing and acting so quickly. She got fluids and was tubed. Due to the extreme heat we moved her south to her previous foster barn to take off at least 10° in this summer heat. She is still on fluids and getting a plasma transfusion today. Her bloodwork was “ok” and this morning she was very bright so hopefully we are moving in the right direction ☀️

A huge thank you to everybody that has sent bandage material our way for her daily bandage changes that are running about $60 a day which will be going on for longer periods of time. Ashley, Robert, Dawn, and Claire-we’re talking about you! If I’ve missed someone there was no names on some of the bandaging packages! We even bought her a compression bandage suit that unfortunately is not tight enough for compression so it is serving the purpose of keeping the bandage clean. We will make an Amazon wish list specifically for dandelion with things that we could use help with and we will post that wishlist later on today. We could also use some help with daily used supplies from our local Jems feed store if anybody that is willing to help.

‼️Foster needed for a 10month English Cream Golden Retriever. Notes from the shelter “overall easygoing and a good boy. Easy to handle zig zag walker, but does walk nervous, but did not attempt to fear bite” We know nothing else about this kid.

“ draw me like one of your French girls” -Delilah probably.

Delilah’s a 2 1/2 year-old French bulldog who is cute as a button but looks like a potato 🥔 Delilah gets along with the dogs in her foster home, but has definitely decided that she would rather not live with cats. She is a joy out on walks and LOVES to snuggle. If you would like to meet Delilah, the link below is where to start.

If you aren’t sure if your pets microchip is registered right now is when you should do that. Did you know that there is up to a 60% increase in lost dogs between the fourth and sixth of July? Make sure your pet makes it back to you if they become a part of the statistic today.

Update! Meds will be on their way at 7 AM tomorrow morning. Thank you, Tiffany!

Is there anybody that is going up to Tucson today that could take along medication for Dandelion?

ALL 100%

If you choose to rescue animals, I am going to give you some sound advice - Grow thick skin and don't care what people think of you. I have known people to lose the battle with their minds and we just lost a kind, caring individual in my rescue network. Compassion fatigue is real, but nothing is worth your life. No pet. No rescue. No person's opinion. Nothing.

In rescue, that person that tells you what an angel you are and how wonderful you are every time you pick up a stray pet thrown at their door will also be the first person who tells people how your organization is worthless when you don't have space to pick up the 30th pet thrown off on their property. It's ok.

In rescue, the adopter that leaves you the five star review about how wonderful everyone has been will change that review quick when they return the pet even though you have spent hours trying to keep it in their home. One star reviews are ok.

In rescue, your friend will be your friend until you deny their application for a pet because they are a great friend but a terrible pet owner. That's ok too.

In rescue, you will answer 143 calls in a day (yesterday to be exact). But if you miss 6 calls in a row while you are in the shower, you will be the one who "never answers their phone". It's ok.

In rescue, other rescuers and random trolls will judge everything you do but never have time to pitch in a hand to help when they see something needing more attention. They will, however, have lots of time to talk about how they’d do it better while they harass and judge you. It will be ok.

In rescue, you will have to involve animal control and the police department sometimes. The people who you take pets from will hate you - and I mean REALLY hate you. Trust me, it's ok.

In rescue, pets will be put down and pets will die at the hands of abusers. We can't save them all - and that's ok. We save the ones that we can and pray for peace for the ones we can't.

I have been in the animal rescue world since 2009. I have dealt with every problem and every situation imaginable. I used to take some things to heart, then I realized - I am doing this for the animals, not for any person in this world. I have found my joy and no person will take that. If you are in rescue, don't let anyone or anything take your joy. Find peace that you will never please everyone. Find peace that you will never save them all. Never allow something you love to turn into something that ends your life.

UPDATE!! They are going to a rescue that is tagged below 🎉

Courtesy post!!!

These two where found as strays and fortunately for them our wonderful Animal control officer knew where they belong. The female was very much in distress and needed medical care ASAP upon making contact with the owner. The owner relayed that she never wanted the dogs and that she did not have money for medical care, Amber our animal control officer did not skip a beat the female dog to get medical attention. We were asked to help but we are on an intake hold until we are medically and financially caught up. If I recall correctly, they are both middle-aged dogs and the female was cleared this morning by the veterinarian, treated her yesterday. These two will be available at the Douglas animal shelter so please reach out if you are interested in meeting them.

Dandelion update this morning🌞

I’m sure I could change her bandage by myself if I had to, but having an extra set of hands (or 3) was so welcomed this morning. Today is one of those overwhelming days where there is so much to do in so many directions-don’t get me wrong I will get everything done but first I have to call my mom (Annette) and have a minor meltdown about it.

There are two young girls who have been spending some time with family at the Stables that dandelion is boarded at. Neither of these girls have experience with horses, but neither of these girls hesitated when I asked for a hand.

It’s easy in rescue to get beat up by unkind humans but if I take a breath and let the universe do its thing, usually the good comes through. We still have not covered the funds for her surgery and until we are caught up, we will stay on an intake hold. Please consider donating in any of the way below or to her fundraiser attached here.

Thank you to Brittani, Q, and Annie for your help this morning.

“Oh my gosh! What an easy puppy to find a home for!” -what you’re thinking probably.

swipe to see what Bree looked like when we first met her. She had a shattered face and was quite literally being held together with buttons when we met her. When she was dropped off at the animal shelter, the veterinarian did a procedure using buttons to temporarily hold her shattered jaw together until someone else could fix her. She was receiving IV fluids and eating through a feeding tube when we took her into Little Lotus Rescue. The closest veterinarian who was willing to do orthopedic surgery on her immediately was in New Mexico. We are grateful to the volunteers who picked her up from the shelter, Annette, who fostered her through rehabilitation, volunteers who drove her to and from New Mexico, and everyone who donated to make this girl whole again. When we say it takes a village, we really mean it.

By pulling dogs like Bree (who need months of rehabilitation before being adoptable) from high capacity animal shelters, we give another dog in that shelter time to find their forever home-in turn decreasing euthanasia rates in County animal shelters.

Bree has found her forever home and we are so thrilled for her!

we are currently on an intake hold while we catch up on medical bills for saving animals like Bree. if you would like to see more stories like hers, please consider donating in any way listed below so that we can continue helping the animals that others have forgotten.
