Sadie
Cutie Patootie
Mighty
This precious little mini donkey came to us via owner surrender. She was pregnant, parasitic and desperate for love. Her baby was born later that year, healthy and adopted to a great home!
Sadie had been enjoying a wonderful home for several years but due to her declining teeth and age-related health issues she is back with us as a permanent resident.
Her monthly cost is $110.
Mighty
Cutie Patootie
Mighty
A senior mini, surrendered to us summer 2023 by the family of an elderly owner who passed. Mighty was emaciated! He is probably mid-30's, still a stallion, carrying a heavy parasite infestation and horrendous issues with his teeth. He has blossomed quickly with correct care however he will remain a resident as his continued care needs
A senior mini, surrendered to us summer 2023 by the family of an elderly owner who passed. Mighty was emaciated! He is probably mid-30's, still a stallion, carrying a heavy parasite infestation and horrendous issues with his teeth. He has blossomed quickly with correct care however he will remain a resident as his continued care needs are extensive. We pay close attention to his needs as he continues to age gracefully.
His monthly cost is $110.
Hamlet
Cutie Patootie
Cutie Patootie
Blue eyes and party colors, he was a scared, semi-feral "stray" at large. With patience he has finally learned to be happy with contained life. He is a permanent resident so we can monitor his weight, tusks and hooves and he also helps graze the chicken pen.
Hamlet is a favorite with visitors and has recently welcomed a new piggy friend "Cutie Patootie"
His monthly cost is $25.

Last winter we were notified about a stray baby pig hanging out out behind a local church, despite our efforts we could not catch her. Then a few weeks ago we were notified about another stray pig hanging out behind a church on the other side of the valley, we again went to see if we could catch and could not.

Last winter we were notified about a stray baby pig hanging out out behind a local church, despite our efforts we could not catch her. Then a few weeks ago we were notified about another stray pig hanging out behind a church on the other side of the valley, we again went to see if we could catch and could not. But the next morning guess who showed up on the farm? She walked herself right in the driveway and up to the barn and into the paddock! Now she is sharing a home with Hamlet.
Her monthly cost is $25.

Yoda was bottle fed by a kind woman for his breeder. But the breeder never came to get him, so he stayed with his bottle mom for 5 years until she had to sell her farm.

Yoda was bottle fed by a kind woman for his breeder. But the breeder never came to get him, so he stayed with his bottle mom for 5 years until she had to sell her farm. Then the breeder was just going to come and butcher him. We met Yoda and knew the gentle sweet little bull that he is so he came to live with us. Yoda is starting to have some arthritis and requires regular hoof care. But he is a steady face on the farm.
His monthly cost is $60.

This sweet Brahma Steer was bottle raised by a loving woman. She was in a dangerous and abusive relationship and reached out to us to take him as her ex was threatening to kill him if she tried to leave. He has become such an ambassador to visitors at the farm and we just haven't found the right fitting adoption for him in over 2 years so he is now a permanent resident of the farm and friends with Yoda.

This mother/son duo are survivors of Hurricane Helene. Their owners needed help asap and we went immediately over to rescue Cinnamon & Jig, considering their age and Jig's special hoof care as well as their history that they have never been apart we feel it is imperative they stay together and thus far will remain residents unless the perfect match for both is found.
Their monthly cost is $325.
Mr Quick
Cinnamon & Jig
Cinnamon & Jig
Mr Q was sent to us for retirement when he was no longer able to keep up with performance demands of a pro driving pony.

Our newest members joining us in 2025 are Whitetop aka Topper and Skippy. Topper was premature with contracted tendons and tilted bone structure.

Stairway Steve
Stairway Steve
He showed up a few years ago, a feral young cat in our hayloft. Slowly, one step at a time, he would sit on the "stairway" and watch us as we slowly befriended him. Now you would never know he was ever a wild kitty. Steve is the barn mascot and mouse catcher and will be a permanent resident with us. He is fixed and UTD now.
His monthly cost is $15.

Both of these little girls are Frizzle Bantams. Bebe came first to the rescue. She was nearly naked from being hen-pecked so bad by larger chickens. She is TINY. It took her over a year to fully grow her feathers and become a happy chicken. But she needed a friend. We found Frannie abandoned in a cage with no food or water alone when
Both of these little girls are Frizzle Bantams. Bebe came first to the rescue. She was nearly naked from being hen-pecked so bad by larger chickens. She is TINY. It took her over a year to fully grow her feathers and become a happy chicken. But she needed a friend. We found Frannie abandoned in a cage with no food or water alone when we went to a large scale farm seizure. Frannie has been the perfect friend for Bebe.

Born in the wild, Flame was rounded up as a weanling and offered at auction as a fundraiser for his wild herd. After a year with his buyers he was brought to RCAR. Flame was covered in lice, heavy parasite load, suffering from locking stifles and is a cryptorchid (stallion whose testicles didn't drop down for castration). He was quite a physical mess but oh such a sweet boy! He joined Fabio's little herd and is still here with us. He will be a permanent resident since he is still a stallion and cannot be adopted as a stallion.
His monthly cost is $105.
