We are so blessed with this land! Green, fresh air, ab amazing view and such sweet kind people on the spot!
The happy quirky photos and videos will follow…
I am just beyond relieved we found this land thanks to Bari who kept screaming through the entire neighborhood…we had to find a better spot and so all unraveled and we found the land for the sanctuary start. 💛

YAGOTE - good news! Thanks to the amazing care of Dr Henok and the fantastic Juanita who comes and volunteers and assists Dr Henok, Yagote’s hoof starts healing.
These horrible photos are from the first bandage changed.
We are thrilled he is a good boy and is not using the leg much so I can heal and we have great hope that he will live a happy life with us.
Bari is so excited about him..am just loving it!
And thanks to everyone helping - all this is possible!
❤️🧡💛🧡❤️

💔 Beautiful sweet Opus!
You were suffering for too long on the streets before we found you. We tried all but your injuries were too severe.
We gave you all the care and love you deserved since the day you were born, we did our best for you, to experience love from humans and had a quirky donkey friend. You left us in dignity. On a warm day, with all your friends and fans around you…the sun came through and when your soul started traveling, a thunderstorm approached us and took you with.
My heart is in pain for your suffering, we are sorry we found you too late!
Now rest in peace, beautiful soul! You remain in our hearts and let your spirit visit us. Dear sweet Opus🤍🩶🖤

This is Yagote, he came yesterday - brought to us by
I am really grateful they identified and brought him. As per his owner he got into a car accident that smashed his hoof. We are facing horrible challenges with these equine as there is no clinic, x-ray, orthopedic surgeon who can help. Treatment is done as best as possible.
When we really cannot help we have to at least relief them from their pain. That is the most painful for us but we give them some dignity and peace and a few sweet friends when they need it most. 💔

I don’t think this needs any words.
We have arranged a car to bring him and two other horses to our land tomorrow and from there we go.
Safety first and some kindness, these beautiful horses deserve some dignity and love! My heart breaks for them, what pain they must go through, left all alone and really just left there to deal with their pain. What a horror and I am grateful for every animal we find, that is in urgent need, so we can at least do our best. One day - I dream, we won’t be needed because all animals are respected and safe.

On Saturday, as we rushed out within 30min after receiving the report, we came too late…or what even is too late as every second this poor soul didn’t have to suffer any longer was saving him from any more pain. We found him, he had passed away that morning. It is beyond painful to think of the pain he must have gone through and it breaks my heart into a thousand pieces for him. How humans watched him every day, going about their work around there… incredible!
And we also need to understand there is no system and nobody to call so people also are helpless…the ones who would care.
In his name and the other animals that are suffering - we will give our best!
Rest in peace, beautiful soul! 🙏💔

It breaks my heart and i wish our campaigns and those of others will be loud enough to make people understand to seek treatment for their animals be for wit is too late. Many of the animals we find could have been saved… we will relief him from his pain now. 💔💔💔

We have lost you and it breaks my heart, for you, little soul! 💔🖤🩶🤍 we had such great hope to help you!
It is so difficult to know what is right as capacity is limited.
We just have to work so hard to create better circumstances for the future! Every sweet little friend suffering breaks us and strengthen our will!
He suffered a lot in his short life, he should have lived, long and happy! He was supposed to join my furry family once recovered a bit. Rest in peace my little friend! 💔🖤🖤🖤

He is now safe!
I am proud of Tamrat as he completed his first solo rescue and followed every instructions carefully as it is crucial to ensure safe rescues, for the dogs and him!

This was fast and successful action this morning and set a milestone for us as the rescue itself can be very complicated and challenging here, lack of skilled people and transportation.
