How your orders help local animal shelters and rescues in the Central Valley of California and help to foster/adopt abused/neglected animals.
I donate a percentage of my revenue to local animal rescues and shelters. I also adopt and foster livestock in need.
Dumbledore ("Dumble") is a 17 hand sorrel Thoroughbred gelding who came to us from Fresno Humane Animal Services in Fresno County. He was emaciated, abused, and abandoned. He is the friendliest and goofiest horse we have ever met. We cannot imagine our life without him. Although he remains incontinent, he has otherwise recovered fully and is thriving.
After Dumble, we received generous donations for a new stall system from many kind hearted souls, which allowed us again to answer the call from Fresno Humane Animal Services taking in an abandoned, underweight bay Quarter Horse mare we named Otter who had an extremely large degloving wound on her hip/leg. Otter is now fully recovered from her wounds and is becoming a sweet girl.
We also recently took in from Fresno Humane an emaciated goat with an eye injury (for which he had removal surgery). We named him Huggy Bear as our other two goats at the time were Starsky & Hutch (IYKYK). Huggy Bear even has his own Instagram account courtesy of my sister Becky Holly who is a board member at Fresno Bully Rescue.
Otter, Dumble, and Huggy Bear are now thriving in an environment they desperately needed. We are very grateful for all of our blessings.
Some of the rescues in our Valley doing amazing work are Fresno Bully Rescue (bully breed dog rescue) www.fresnobullyrescue.org and Rawhide Rescues (horse rescue) https://www.facebook.com/p/RawHyde-Rescues-100088557799778/. Give them a look and consider helping if you can. They are really making a difference in our area that is in dire need of their services.
*Correction to the news story - we are located in Madera Ranchos and the donations were not for food but for additional stalls to house Dumbledore and other large animals in need.
