The Ravens Nest Rescue Farm and Sanctuary

04/05/2023

OUR SANCTUARY HAS BEEN SHUTTERED since the pandemic and we have moved from Bucks County, Pennsylvania to the Catskill mountains in Upstate New York, approximately four hours away from the old location.

I still field several phone calls a week,  and if we can help, we certainly will, even if it’s over with a referral or advice on how to handle the problem so that you may be able to keep your animal.

IF you are trying to rehome a rooster, we suggest searching chicken fb groups in your are. They are held very helpful with advice and many are willing to take a rooster to guard their flock or add to a breeding pair. 

RESEARCH AND PREPARE FIRST! Most barnyard animals that came to us were the result of impulsive purchases for children and then discarded as quickly as the child lost interest, or because people have been forced by their locale to remove the animals. PLEASE check your local ordinances before you bring you bring home a non-typical pet in a suburban or city location. 

Surprisingly, even rural townships have regulations on what type of farm animals are permitted, as well as rules about housing, space, distance from other properties, etc.

I am glad to answer any questions and be as helpful as I can, but again, we are now in the Catskill mountains of New York.

Lola was was our first rescue, 16 years ago. Someone left her in a carrier on the sidewalk in strawberry mansion, and we went and got her, because we was looking for an unofficial emotional support dog for Aaliyah. I can’t believe its been 3 years since she crossed the rainbow bridge. Aaliyah started writing her college essay on Lola, as the person who impacted Aaliyahs life most. 💜

Somebunny needs a dentist!

Bella is one of our Sanctuary animals and loves to sleep on top of her house (and eat it). Bunnies need lots of room! X-Pens are a much better alternative to cages. And she prefers a handmade cardboard hut to a fancy schmancy one with no rooftop view!

We also have a couple kitties needing fixing and every little bit helps us to help them.

To donate just go to https://www.paypal.me/ravensnestfarm. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

Yes!

As we move into colder months, all Pennsylvanians are reminded of our new laws regarding dog tethering in colder weather. In temperatures under 32 degrees, dogs may be tethered for no more than 30 minutes. Learn more about our new animal cruelty laws: on.pa.gov/2jwDB0A

Please keep this in mind when you consider giving a pet as a Christmas present. It’s a 10-15 year commitment for most dogs.

Dogs add so much richness to your life, but only when you adopt with your eyes wide open. Please play the tape all the way to the end....

Do you have the time to play with, train and exercise them?

Do you have the finances to cover not just food, but medical care which could run thousands of dollars in illness or emergency?

Who will care for them when you go away?

What will you do when you have to move or have a baby?

Who will care for them if you become ill or die?

How will you handle behavior issues? Especially puppy behavior issues? How are you going to feel when they chew your shoes or are too excitable, or p*e on your carpet?

These are just some of the questions to consider. Impulsively bringing a dog home rarely ends well for the dog.

Meet Bella, one of our Sanctuary animals. Because of the abuse she suffered before she came to us, she is terrified of people, making adoption unlikely. All the rescues that come to us "unadoptable" become our Sanctuary animals and live out the rest of their lives here. Whether it's a naked ferret with adrenal disease, or a bun like Bella that bucks and bites, we offer the love and care they deserve. 100% of every donation goes for housing, care, feeding and vetting. And of course, Bella IS adoptable, as long as you don't expect to turn a rabbit into a lap log!
