Who knew we had a bunch of polar bears here at Doe Eyes! I think Milton loves this weather the most…Bolt cussed me out when I tried to put him outside lol
The Bolt update everyone has been asking for! Bolt said aaaaaaaabsolutely not to outside time today. He walked out, looked at me, turned around and went back inside and sat next to his playpen lol. He got a fresh warm blanket out of the dryer and he is all set for the afternoon!
We hope everyone is strutting into the new year the way Ms.Candy is strutting her stuff!! Look at how good she is doing! She is still at the vet for a bit longer but will be ready to find her furever home soon!
🖤 Ralphie’s Vet Appointment 🖤
Our large animal vet came out to the sanctuary today to check out Ralphie. He was so well behaved while they looked him over. After discussing everything with them we have made the plan to not do any major surgery on Ralphie at this time. Where the legs of the absorbed twin are located on his neck would make removing them completely incredibly risky. We also discussed him being 3 years old and at this point relatively used to this being his condition. We did agree that we are going to observe him over the coming months and see if/how much the extra legs get in his way and if we see that they are an issue for him we will like just have the legs removed but not the entire form from his neck. It would be a much less invasive procedure. However, our vet does think that with him being 3 years old that he is probably used to the extra appendages and that they don’t seem to be weighing him down. Like I said though, we will revisit all of this again in a few months and really determine what the best course for Ralphie will be. As of right now he is a happy and healthy boy! One more week of quarantine and he will be ready to join his new friends!
Video is of myself, Ralphie and Dolly the cat hanging out in the barn after his appointment 🖤
Did you know that on top of being absolute bestest boy in the world, that Milton is also classically trained in Tap? Turn your volume up for some absolutely adorable tippy tappys!
* Volume Up* Pretty sure this is Helen cussing me out in her own way because dinner was served 2 minutes late last night lol. Helen is definitely settling into her own here at the sanctuary. She’s lost some weight and is now extremely active and talkative…clearly lol
Here’s a little glimpse into feeding time for the kittens here at Doe Eyes. We try to make sure to add things to their diet that will help them with digestion, staying hydrated, coat care and overall health. Also not pictured is probiotics and L-lysine (forgot to put it in the video and was not re recording lol). Also, every kitten pictured here needs a foster or adopter!! Please reach out to us if you can help!!
Some holiday chaos with the doggos! We have 4 sanctuary dogs that will stay with us forever; Bolt, Bear, Lexi and Aspen. And 4 AMAZING dogs that are waiting for their furever homes; Ru, Milton, Dot and Daisy (not in the video bc they’ve got beef with Aspen lol). We love having all these babies here but would love it even more if they had their own homes for the holidays! If you are interested in even fostering over the holidays please let us know!
We wanted to wait until everything was finalized to tell you guys the AMAZING news, that our sweet Bertha girl has officially been adopted!! And the best part is that she is only 1 miles down the road from us!! That means we get to visit her all the time and see how she’s doing!! She could not have gone to a better home. Her new family is very experienced with large (and small lol) horses. And she has a very handsome new male friend now named Roanan. This girl went from being worked and bred until her body literally broke, to then mere hours away from being shipped to slaughter, to now living in the most picturesque home where she will have unlimited love and attention and want for nothing ever again. We are so thankful to everyone that donated to saving Bertha from being shipped to slaughter. Because of yall this is now her reality. We literally cannot say thank you enough to her new family for opening up their hearts to this girl. She is so so deserving! And don’t worry, Lainey is doing just fine at the sanctuary with her buddy Oreo lol.
🎟️ WINNER TIME 🎟️
Alright yall it’s time to announce the winner of Day 5 of 25 Days of DOEcember! I wrote out all the tickets from everyone that donated yesterday, placed them in a box and pulled the winner. (I kept my face out of the video bc my eyes are swollen from crying from yesterday 🥴). But CONGRATULATIONS to Deborah Carter !!!!
I want to thank everyone that donated yesterday to help us raise the remaining $500 to pay off this building! Will be making a call later today to pay the remaining balance off in full!!! We are so excited! 
Look who we just picked up from the vet!! Oliver made it thru the night! He is still in horrible shape but I told him if he would fight then we would too and it seems like he’s trying! We are on the way back to the sanctuary to get him all settled in. We will continue IV fluids and medications. This poor man just needs to rest. Lots of rest and lots of TLC. Thank you to everyone that has been so supportive of Oliver. Please continue to send healing thoughts, vibes and prayers his way 🖤✨
And please tell him how much of a beautiful boy he is!
Chichi is waiting for someone to come do arts and crafts with her!
