Carrie

This sweet little mare was rescued after we received an urgent call from her owner who could no longer afford to feed her. We immediately started building a new horse shelter so we could bring Carrie to our sanctuary. Carrie is now living at Hooves & Paws and is slowly gaining weight. However, due to a previous injury, Carrie has some difficulty walking and will require special care and medication for the rest of her life.

Moby

We welcomed Moby to our sanctuary when we found out that he had no where else to go. His owners were losing their home and had to move out of state. They could not take Moby with them and they feared that he would end up on someone’s dinner plate. We wanted to help this wonderful little pig and we found a way to make room for him at our sanctuary. When Moby first arrived, we noticed that he had problems with his sight. Our vet confirmed that due to the fact that he was so overweight (he was being fed a very unhealthy diet at his previous home) and a long neglected condition called entropion (an inward rolling of the eyelids), Moby has most likely suffered irreparable corneal damage. We now have Moby on a very healthy diet and we are providing him with a safe and loving home for the rest of his days. Thank you to all our supporters for making these and other rescues possible!
