Swingin' D Horse Rescue

03/27/2026

Nurse April always gives the gentlest vaccines to our happy herd. Thursday was the perfect day for shots, grooming and fly spray (blech - can't believe it's already that time of year again) at Swingin' D Horse Rescue! Up next: dental floats.

Can you help this precious old man?

Rehoming 15-Year-Old Senior Lab (Temple, TX)
Senior Black Lab Needs Loving Home
We are looking for a peaceful retirement home for Bo, a sweet black 15-year-old Labrador currently in Temple, TX (76501). Bo recently lost his owner and is currently with an ex family member until placement can be found. Due to his late owner’s own health challenges, Bo has not had regular vet care in recent years. Bo lived with his owner since he was a puppy, so 15 years- he needs a miracle.
He is completely deaf, has possible hip dysplasia, is not neutered, and is not microchipped. He needs a patient, quiet environment—ideally with no stairs—to spend his golden years comfortably.
* Name: Bo
* Location: Temple, TX 76501
* Color: Black
* Age: 15 years (Senior)
* Health: Completely deaf; possible hip dysplasia; not fixed/chipped; behind on vaccines.
* Temperament: Gentle and calm.
* Ideal Home: A single-story home where he can receive companionship and a soft place to land.
If you can open your heart to this loyal boy or know a senior dog rescue in Central Texas that can help with a "hospice" or senior foster situation, please message me directly. Shares are greatly appreciated!

*****We are sharing this senior dog, he is NOT apart of our rescue but we can get you in touch with his current keepers if you can offer a loving retirement home for this poor baby!*****

If you're looking for a worthy cause that will help lower your tax burden as 2025 comes to a close, donations of cash or property to Swingin' D are tax deductible!

If you're unable to give financially, we have lots of volunteer opportunities. You'd also help a lot if you could share this post!

You may notice that we rarely post on Facebook. Our page has been suppressed for over a year for posting a raffle item from our annual fund drive (which we're now unable to hold because of Facebook's restrictions). The image in no way violated Facebook's community guidelines, but try arguing that with an anti-2A robot.

While Facebook promotes other horse rescues so that they can gain followers, our traffic is suppressed, which means fewer people see our amazing accomplishments, and fewer donations to support our work. We've picked up just nine followers since our eternal punishment began in November 2024. Meanwhile, I watch new followers flood in on other pages I manage. Our posts are seen by almost no one.

No warning. No explanation. No appeal. NO VIOLATION OF ANY KIND.

If you run across our posts about our amazing volunteers and horses, please be sure to share. It may be the only way to get our message out.

As always, donations are gratefully accepted! Remember, they're tax deductible.

Is Loki more offended that he's getting a pedicure, or that he's forced to wear a man bun? Tough call.

Our volunteers are hard at work planning a special night for trick or treaters! Please share, and come on out November 1.

We could not be more proud of Anastasia, our special needs mare that's been in wooden clogs off and on for 5 years. Today, Scoots farrier service removed Ani's final set and graduated her to padded shoes. If we can keep her stable through the searing temperatures, she may be able to go barefoot in a month or two.

Through years of painful discoveries and trial and error, we've spent countless thousands of dollars on vets, medications, supplements, treatments, therapies, special shoes, farriers, insulation, HVAC, and more to diagnose, treat, and stabilize our little angel.

Thanks to all the donors who helped to support Ani on her journey. God willing, this is the payoff!

Right now, Ani is relaxing in her air conditioned and mist-cooled condo, doubling our electric and water bills until cooler temps next week. If you'd like to help support Ani's quality of life, donations are gratefully accepted. https://donate.stripe.com/dR67wk86DeyYegocMO

Pedicure day for our healthy-feet crew! Special needs horses are up next week. So grateful to our wonderful volunteers for helping ensure our herd's tootsies are healthy! Thank you, Sarah and Rebecca!

This is the thanks I get for her bath, fly spray, and wound treatment. 🙄
