Heaven Help Us Animal Refuge
Sharing Jesus Love Through The Hearts of Animals
Her teeth cared for..
a few bathes...
So still a long way to go, but well on the road to recovery :)
She Loves her new friends too..
She is soon to get her vaccines and an updated coggins.
Again, we can not do any of this without your support!
It will take a little while to see a difference with her weight.
Valentine is a pretty tall girl!
She is as sweet as they come & nothing bothers her.

Update 6/2014
Valentine is doing great!
She has put on lots of weight, her teeth done, just had her coggins updated, getting lots of love and we have been lightly riding her.
She is a little nervous while being tacked, but we are working with her on that. Just recently she started to display some nervousness once we mount her. Not sure why considering the first few rides she was perfect.
We are backing up and working slowly through.
She is the perfect horse when it comes to ground manners, loading, grooming, bathing and bombproof!
She is looking for her forever home Now!!
ahh..Loves her back rubbed!

Valentine adopted a new mom and dad!
And..they even let her bring Promise too!
Thank You Jo Marie for coming to meet these 2 sweet girls, falling in love and giving them the life they so deserve!!
These 2 girls are happy and so spoiled. They have both been through a lot, but will never have to worry about anything ever again.

"Trooper"
"Trooper"
Trooper came to us as a pony with a torn muscle and never ride able. We were informed he was approx 10yrs old.
Looking at his teeth I guessed more like 7.
After a vet friend took a look, he is about 6-7 years old :)
He in fact does not have a torn muscle, he has a stifle-locking issue. Basically his back legs did not develop properley.
He can't control when his back leg locks into place or pops out. This causes him to look a bit goofy at times. The good news is with a little work/therapy , it will go away.
Trooper got his name because of all he has been through..he is just that.. "A lil Trooper"
He is putting on weight and shedding out beautifully!
He is the sweetest lil guy you'll ever meet.
He is part of out "Petting Pals" program.
Notice the bearded dragon lizard on his back..lol

Although Trooper's stifle issue doesn't show much improvement, he is still as ornery as they come AND it definitely doesn't slow him down any. He has become Sammy's sidekick and thinks he's just as big...lol
We Love him and the personality plus that he adds to the herd.

"The 3 Amigos"
"The 3 Amigos"
3 of our newest Refuge Angels as well as part of our "Petting Pals" program, 3 Bearded Dragons.
We have yet to give them individual names...lol...but we will.
They have made themselves at home in the corner house of one of the aviaries.
They love to be held, and their favorite past time is basking in the sun and eating live super worms.
Update July 2014
Update July 2014
We were sad that over the course of a few months 2 of our beardies, within a few weeks of each other passed away. We were informed when we took them in that 2 were quite older.
We sure did enjoy the time we had with them.
The 3rd guy is doing great as a personal pet in a friends home.
Thank you to the Rambo family for building an awesome enclosure and giving this guy a great life.

"Erwin & Gobblet"
"Erwin & Gobblet"
Erwin is our young Emu & Gobblet is our Young Turkey.
They both came here as hatch-lings and are best buddies.
They are only a few weeks apart in age.
We are pretty sure Gobblet is a male and think Erwin may be as well. Only time will tell.
They are going to be part of our educational and on-site "Petting Pals" program. Because of their fast growing and size, it is to complicated to transport them.
They grow by the day! I will post some new photos soon.

"Matilda"
"Matilda"
Matilda is our Little Pot Belly Pig Diva.
She came to us when a family could no longer keep her.
She is house broken and thinks she is one of our dogs..lol
She would rather spend her time outside digging in the dirt and eating grass. She enjoys playing with our dog Hogan & mini-donkey Hosea.
Matilda is a huge hit in our "Petting Pals" program.
Pigs are actually very smart and very clean. They only reason they dig on the dirt is to cool off because they can't sweat. They also enjoy looking for bugs and roots to eat too.
Matilda & Gary the Lop eared Bunny^
UPDATE
We were contacted by a lady who was in search of a friend for her pot belly piggie.
She felt her little girl was lonely and she wanted to find her a friend.
After finding out how spoiled Matilda would be, and having one of our foster families do a visit, we knew this was a golden opportunity for Matilda!
So, Matilda is living the good life as an indoor pet, with 5 fenced acres to run at her leisure, AND a buddy to do it with.
What more could a piggie ask for ;)
====================================================
" Gary"

"Freckles"
"Freckles"
Freckles came to us as a rescue along with trooper. We didn't have much information on her background. We were informed she was about 12 years old and used as a child's lesson horse.
In Rescue you have to take all information with a grain of salt!
Turns out that Freckles is between 19 & 20 yrs old, and has a old injury to her front left knee. The good news is the injury does not cause her any discomfort or pain. It does however cause her to have a slight limp at a trot due to the fact her left knee can not flex as it should.
She is a very sweet and willing girl and great with everyone.
She is slowly shedding out and putting on weight.
We are now using her in our riding program at Horses For A Cure.
She is adored by all who meet her.
