We are so incredibly grateful to everyone who has donated and supported us—your kindness truly means the world and helps us keep going ❤️

We are still accepting donations if anyone would like to help. Monetary contributions, blankets, and any pet items are always appreciated and go directly to the care of our animals.

Thank you for standing with us 🐾

To our dear family, friends, and supporters of Dandelion Acres 💛

We’re reaching out with during a really difficult time. Caring for our animals is always our top priority, but right now we’re facing a past-due veterinary bill that we’re struggling to catch up on, and until we are fully paid, we are unable to get new care for our animals.

Anyone who knows us, knows that we never like asking for financial support, but this is about the animals and not human pride.
If you’re in a position to help—whether through a donation, sharing this post, or simply sending kind thoughts—we would be so deeply grateful. There is absolutely no pressure; your support in any form means the world to us and to the animals in our care.

Thank you for always standing beside us and believing in what we do. 🐾🌼

The snow this winter is kicking our BUTTS! It's almost like we get older every single year 🤔🤷‍♀️😂

We have been busy doing our best to keep everyone warm and watered, and hope this winter has been kind to everyone!

We are looking for blanket donations for the animals, as we go through a LOT and the cost purchasing replacements (even used ones) has added up! ❤️

We do our best to reply to messages on social media but admittedly we have been struggling to manage it on top of real life.

Ziggy and Hostia are putting the blankets we have left, to good use. ❤️❤️

While the animals hunker down inside, one mom goes to work, and the other mom shovels and does farm chores.
I simply cannot fathom their luxury 😂❤️❄️
We hope you have THEIR luxury today, friends

Every few weeks I try to reset spaces for the animals, so that they have new and fun things to do with our limited space and budget.
I try to thrift and make as much of their enrichment as I can. Today's creations are an old metal light shade that I've turned into a hay feeder, with little wood hangings, a rattle from the thrift store, and an extra piece of plywood and some zip ties into a shelf to add space.
You can do so much with so little if you turn on the creative parts in your brain ❤️
I find myself feeling guilty that I cant do more but am trying to remember how dang hard I try 🥰
Here's to another year of doing our absolute best 😂🎉

Find a pal to snuggle up with, and watch movies, this Holiday season 😂❤️🎄
We are having a quiet Christmas at home this year, just us and the animals.
We are so thankful for all the donations and support we have recieved and always try our best to help those around us when possible.
Be light and spread love this Christmas, when the world needs it more than ever!

I have never in all my years met entitlement like this 😂
Meelo is nothing, if not an agent of chaos.
We occasionally store feed and other things down that hallway. You would be shocked, (or maybe not if you know pigs) at how many are willing to jump over and off the back of the couch to get to it!! I've decided if they're can work that hard, they can all get jobs!
Happy Friday everyone xx

I spy with my little eye : a fluffy jerk who refuses to come inside 😂💛❄️
This boy LOVES the snow and nothing will keep him from his destiny ! He is also the only one brave enough to be outside today. Everyone else is nestled in their beds and barns, dreaming of warmer days.

Another cold and snowy day on the farm! We want to thank everyone again for the gifts from our Amazon wishlist and wanted to post a list of used items we always keep our eye out for as well, in case you have a cupboard youre looking to empty! ❄️

💛 Blankets (the biggest hot ticket item!)

💛 Building Supplies (in major need of any plywood at the moment)

💛 Pet toys (cat, dog, bird, rabbit etc)

💛 Small animal habitats (example: hamster cage used for disabled baby bird 😂)

💛 Fruits and Vegetables

💛 VOLUNTEERS! If you or anyone you know would be into some dirty and rewarding farm work, we always appreciate helping hands

Today we focus on keeping the waters thawed, and keeping our tempers cool as we battle the overstimulation that comes with allowing this many animals, access to your home 😂
