"Saving a Life Means the World to the Life You Saved"
Residents
Sadie
Hamlet
Hamlet
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.
Hamlet
Hamlet
Hamlet
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.
Mighty
Hamlet
Mighty
A senior mini, surrendered to us this 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.
Wild Willie
The Sheep of Rugby Creek
The Sheep of Rugby Creek
This handsome hunk of a kitty is feral and living in our hayloft. We are diligently working on befriending him and plan to trap, vaccinate, neuter and release him back to the hayloft. He does come and get food after we've left the barn. Capturing a picture of him was rare, so we're making progress!

At any given time we have from 5 to 15 Katahdin Hair Sheep here on the farm. Most are bottle babies that we saved, some are owner surrender, a couple we saved from being lamb chops. All of the sheep that live here are now in different fields providing pasture rotational grazing, fertilizer and weed control as well as companionship.
Stairway Steve
The Sheep of Rugby Creek
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.
Fabio & Fury
We have been blessed to be able to offer the famous "Fabio" of Grayson Highlands a permanent retirement home here with us. His buddy Fury also now resides with us permanently. For more information on their history/story, please visit their page by CLICKING HERE
