Update 5/14/26: ANOTHER FRAUDULENT COMMENT AND STUPID TAGGING OF SEVERAL FOLLOWERS ON AN OLD POST. DON’T CLICK ON IT! We don’t sell and carousel merchandise. Sorry for the rude people trying to take your money. It’s not us. 😞

Update 5/4/26: another fraudulent comment was spotted on an old post. It has since been blocked and reported but …

WARNING!

There was a fraudulent comment on an old post of ours that was trying to sell Carousel Vet merchandise. We do not have any logo gear of any kind to sell, so please don’t ever buy anything like that. There is a store for merchandise supporting Steven's Animal Sanctuary, but the link will always take you to our specific website, nowhere else. Don’t give your money to these scammers!

In need of a new home!

One of our carousel friends is moving away from us. 😞 They are off to Colorado at the end of the month, moving from a farm to a neighborhood. Unfortunately, their barn cat, Bo**ie Boo, can’t go, and needs a safe place to land for her senior years. Bo**ie Boo will be 17yrs at the end of June. She is spayed and has lived out on the farm since then. I’ve only ever seen her in passing. According to Tina, she is apparently a little deaf and maybe her eyes are not working 💯, but she seems to have so much life left in her. She doesn’t hunt anymore, she tends eat her breakfast and go back to bed or wander around. Boo is box trained BUT she’s an outdoor kitty only. She hates being inside unless it’s a barn.
We are hoping that one of our friends has a safe tack room or stall where Boo could go for a few weeks, and then become a barn cat. She’s not a snuggly cat, but I’m sure would warm up to whomever cares for her eventually 🙂
Let us know if you could help and I will put you in touch with Tina.
Thanks!

It’s the weekend so Asher decided to be my copilot. Don’t worry Holly, your job is safe and he wasn’t muddy. 😆

I thought I would share this article about canine cognitive dysfunction from the folks over at the university of Illinois veterinary school. We know that we are all big fans of our senior pets and want to keep them happy and healthy for as long as we can. Seniors are extra special to us considering we also have Steven's Animal Sanctuary 🙂

This article teaches a little about doggie dementia, basically, and what to watch for. We can also add acupuncture and herbs to help sometimes, so don’t let symptoms go too long before reaching out. Let’s make sure we catch things like this early so we can slow down the aging process as much as possible 🙂

Canine cognitive dysfunction, a degenerative disease process in the brain, occurs in 45% to 67% of dogs over 13 years of age.

Is anyone looking for a new giant friend?

Maverick is a 2+ year old Great Dane that needs a new home. He has shown some resource-guarding Issues. Not super aggressive, but snipped at little kids a few times. His size is enough to hurt the little ones even if he doesn’t mean to, so while they’ve been uninjured so far, we understand the concern and want to help. He doesn’t do it to adults, so his current family is hoping he can find a home with adults or teenagers. He’s overall been a fantastic dog with no known health concerns. We haven’t seen him personally, but can put you in touch with the family. They live in Roy now.

Don’t forget to buy your tickets and join us! A few weeks earlier this year, on September 13th, so less than a month away. Don’t miss it! :)

𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐃𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐞 – 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐲 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 🐐💛

This month’s Grazing Gazette is extra special—it’s all about Dottie, a tiny Nigerian Dwarf goat with a story as big as her spirit. Born the smallest of triplets and needing round-the-clock care, Dottie has faced more challenges than most—but she’s met them all with quiet courage and a twinkle in her eye.

𝐈𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞, 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫:
• How Dottie found her way to Steven’s Animal Sanctuary
• The unique care she needs to thrive
• The barnyard friends who’ve become her family

And here’s the best part—you can meet Dottie in person at our Annual Benefit Dinner & Auction! She’ll be there to charm you with her sweet nature (and maybe even pose for a few photos).

📩 Read the August Grazing Gazette and get to know Dottie before you meet her: https://www.stevensanimalsanctuary.org/so/98PW_ELx6?languageTag=en
