Today, we welcomed two beautiful parakeets into our rescue family. 💙🦜 Laney and Cody are now being loved, spoiled, and given all the care they deserve.

Tyson and his girlfriend completely fell in love with them, and we couldn’t be happier to have these two little ones as part of our family.

Welcome home, Laney and Cody! 🥰💚 You are loved beyond measure. 🦜💕

🎉 SO MANY GOOD THINGS ARE HAPPENING AT THE RESCUE! 🎉

Little by little, things are REALLY starting to happen, and I couldn’t be more excited! 🥰🐴🐐

First, we now have hydrants throughout the rescue, which makes getting water to all the animals SO much easier! 💦🙌 One more thing checked off the list!

A HUGE thank-you to my stepfather and Andrew, who have spent hours and hours helping me fix the drainage around the rescue. We’ve worked hard to make sure we don’t have a flooding problem, and I am beyond grateful for everything they have done. ❤️

And my stepdad wasn’t done yet! He also fixed my round bale fixture, so the hay is now nice and secure and won’t collapse. This is going to make feeding the horses SO much easier! 🐴🌾

Right now, he’s helping me work on the barn, and let me tell you… it’s starting to look GOOD! 😍🔨 Little by little, one project at a time, we’re getting there!

The electric fence is up and ready to go! ⚡️🐴 A HUGE thank-you to my son, Tyson, for installing it! I appreciate you more than you know! ❤️

And I cannot say THANK YOU enough to the amazing Veneta Club for all the money raised during the 9/5 fundraiser! 🎉 Your support is making such a difference and helping us get these projects done. We are so incredibly grateful! ❤️

And there’s MORE! 😁

The shed/goat house will be going up shortly! 🐐🏠 I can’t wait to see that one finished!

I also want to give a BIG thank-you to Jeanne O’Toole for helping me get our NEXT fundraiser started! 🎉 And let me just say… I CAN’T WAIT to share what we have in store for you all! 🤫❤️ I truly believe you are going to LOVE this one!

And thank you to Pete Crowley for picking up all the donations for the next fundraiser! ❤️ You are helping make this all happen, and I can’t wait to share everything with everyone SOON!

There is still a LOT to do, but when I look around and see how much has already changed, my heart is SO happy. 🥹❤️

And I know my mother would be SO incredibly happy to see all of this happening. I know she would be smiling seeing the rescue grow, improve, and continue to help the animals she loved so much. ❤️

So THANK YOU to everyone who has donated, volunteered, worked, shared our posts, supported us, cheered us on, and believed in this rescue. YOU are a huge part of making all of this possible! 🙏❤️

We’re not done yet… not even close! 😉
One project, one fundraiser, one animal, and one day at a time!

🐴🐐❤️ BIG things are happening at the rescue! Stay tuned… because we have MORE coming! 🎉

Waking up early, trying to beat the rain so I can get outside, feed the animals, and hopefully not get completely soaked. 😂🐾🌧️

Rescue life can be exhausting, but honestly, it’s also so therapeutic for me. There’s something incredibly peaceful and healing about spending time with the animals, caring for them, and knowing they’re safe and loved.

I truly love my time with them. ❤️

💔 I hope you are smiling down and seeing everything I’m doing mom.

I know it’s only the end of August, and I’m probably a little crazy 😂, but I’ve already started shopping for Toys for Tots! 🎄🎁

I like to start early so my boxes are nice and full when Christmas comes around. If you’d like to help and donate, you can start now with me! Every toy, every donation, and every little bit helps. ❤️

Let’s work together to get these boxes FULL for Christmas! 🎁🧸🎅

I know it’s crazy that I’m thinking about Christmas and less fortunate children while we’re still in August, but I just want every child to have a wonderful Christmas and wake up with a little extra joy and magic. ❤️🎄

Let’s make it happen together! 🎁

To say I am heartbroken is an understatement. 💔

Today, we lost another animal. Today, we said goodbye to Brandi — the best pig ever. 🐷💔

Two heartbreaking losses in one week. I’ve been crying nonstop, trying to process it all. And then I hear my mom’s voice in my head saying, “I told you this wouldn’t be easy.”

She was right. It isn’t easy.

I know that through my rescue, these animals get the best years, weeks, days, and moments of their lives. I know that we give them love, safety, comfort, and a life they may have never known otherwise.

But knowing that doesn’t make saying goodbye hurt any less.

It’s so incredibly heartbreaking knowing I will never see that sweet little face again. I will never hear her sounds, see her silly ways, or get to love on her again.

Brandi deserved the very best, and I am so grateful that she got to know what love and safety felt like.

Run free, sweet girl. You will forever be loved and missed. 🐷🌈💔
