Our next plea for extra assistance is for our little buddy Clem.

Clem was diagnosed with insulin resistance last spring when she had her intake bloodwork done. After trying several expensive supplements it looks like we finally found one that is both treating AND she will eat. Shes a very picky eater! However, when we had her follow up labs and exam completed this year her vet recommended further labs be completed to see if any organ disease would be detected along with another thorough exam. That is tomorrowā€™s appointment.

For those that have not been following along, we have had a higher than normal number of medical/ veterinary expenses this year. We do our best to budget high for these expenses but we can never truly know whatā€™s coming, especially with the ones we focus so heavily on providing sanctuary to. Currently we are dipping into our emergency medical fund which is something we must replenish. We are so grateful we had that safety net available but also scary to think about if it were no longer there.

Any help means the world! Any help keeps our mission strong- to help those who need us most.

Fun fact: I always have a machete on the UTV. Silas laughs at me. Those that donā€™t know me raise an eyebrow. However, no regular kitchen cutlery slices and dices melons, squash, pumpkins and monster zucchini quite like my trusty blade. Not to mention, I think I look way more ninja like wielding this beast than I would a kitchen knife. šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø
When thereā€™s 20 anxious to eat kiddos waiting for their grub, who has time to mess around? They smell it before they see it and then the hunger games begin!

PS Huge thanks to the thoughtful neighbor that left this watermelon for the piggos!!! They were SO excited!!!

Feels good to get another project completed! This time without spending a cent!!! Thanks to a friend who donated a bunch of t-posts, another who donated a 16ā€™ heavy duty gate and some fence panels we had freed up and were waiting to get back to work, we were able to divide the back field paddock so we can start working towards rotational grazing and bettering the quality of the pasture. Something we have been wanting to do for some time now, and itā€™s finally done!

As you can probably tell, sanctuary pup Sanford was a huge help. From herding the UTV ensuring it went where it was needed, to inspecting all components and even helping dig some of the gate post holes. Of course taking his break in the shade with his favorite pals was an added perk!

First- Avenger Is fine. Heā€™s just reminding us to roll with things. Well, in his case- roll on them. šŸ˜†

We are doing our best to roll with the punches. We want to thank all who have donated and shared. You folks sure know how to ease our stress and we cant thank you enough! We will be sharing more after a little break. A break meaning we are spending the long weekend completing some projects at the field. Minimal cell service on the back 40 so donā€™t be alarmed if we go radio silent for a bit!

Wishing all a nice long weekend! Do some relaxing if youā€™re able and if you still have to work, we sympathize šŸ˜œ

We mentioned in our last post how our medical funds have taken a huge hit. We will be doing our best (with your help šŸ¤ž) to fundraise to keep these funds available. We will be highlighting those who really need extra this year.

After initial lab work for Bo and Ruby both had results showing very elevated ACTH levels, meaning they both have Cushings. Both need to go on Prascend, a medication to help manage the disease along with a strict diet and supplements. Marigold was retested and the medication is helping her levels stay where they should be so now all 3 require a daily medication. The cost for 160 pills is now up to $420. Bo and Ruby will both need follow up vet visits to do blood draws and send out to the lab to recheck and see if the medication/ dosing is doing its job. That will be another expensive task. Lab work isnā€™t cheap but so important in making sure things are working as we hope.

Again, thank you so much to all who have donated. We do not want to ask the same people over and over. We ask you share, tell your friends and family about us and the work happening here. Our hope is that with more support, the less taxing the ask on those of you who always show up. We know we have been asking a lot. We promise we wouldnā€™t do it if it wasnā€™t needed.

Mr. P. Approximately 20 years old. Just one of the many seniors in our care. Living beyond expectancy, loved, happy and receiving the care necessary to navigate old age.

Aside from the basics- hay, feed, bedding, all crucial. Our veterinary expenses have almost quadrupled this year due to changes in medications, supplements, medical supplies and the need for further lab work, tests to monitor health conditions. Our mission has always been to provide for those who need us most. To provide safety and sanctuary to those who have been surrendered instead of euthanized due to expensive care. Quality of life is always monitored and we vouch to do everything possible to keep it the best for those in our care. If it wasnā€™t for those of you who believed in what we do, those of you who donate $5, $50 or $500, we couldnā€™t do this for them. This is why we keep fundraising. This is why we are all volunteers. This is why we keep asking for help just as many have asked us to help.

Together, we have saved, we have helped and we have given one last chance to so many. You know who you are and we absolutely know who you are. Please know, we appreciate each of you more than we could ever truly convey. We are not a large organization who receives grants, has corporate sponsors, etc. we are a small volunteer run organization who is boots on the ground and passionate about helping those in need.

We will be focusing more on the days to follow on the individuals who truly need a little ā€œextraā€ right now, to hopefully help those that donā€™t know us well understand why we need the extra assist this year. Please share, please tell a friend about us, letā€™s try and grow our Magzalea family so we can gain more love and support for those that call this special chunk of earth home. šŸ’š

Yesterday we gathered yet another large load of hay from the fields and hauled it back to the sanctuary, unloaded and filled the hay shed (plus some). We are hoping to get a couple more loads of small square bales before winter so we will be fully stocked and ready! This preparation is imperative to ensuring there is plenty of feed to carry everyone to late spring. As we all know, you never know how the seasons will treat us, so we have to be prepared and ready. If we have to buy hay off season it will be much more expensive and we all know, every cent counts! Thank you to everyone who has donated towards the care of the sanctuary residents. Itā€™s because of your kindess they are getting all that they need! šŸ’š

PS The mini moo crew was more than happy to help with the clean up!

Oh, Seamusā€¦ you got a little somethinā€™ on your face buddy. šŸ¤­

Who are we? What makes us different?

Nestled back in the woods of Fitzwilliam New Hampshire is a small sanctuary and farm. A sanctuary and home for misfits. Home to the handicapped, ill, senior, orphaned or otherwise ā€œunadoptableā€ farm animals. Our family, human and animal, work as a team to build and maintain our home. Our sanctuary. Our farm. Our homestead. We let nature, our instincts, our natural drive contribute to the creation of a self sustaining, functional and beautiful piece of earth we call home.

We as a family have been dedicated to this cause. Magzalea started in 2002 with the start of our family. All expenses paid by our day jobs. As our animal family grew we in turn outgrew our original home and farm of 13 years. In 2015 we moved to 93 acres with a rundown house. Since, we have been clearing land, building fences, and rebuilding the sanctuary. We went Non Profit last year, 501c3. Though the majority of the expenses are still coming out of our pockets, we have had great support from our friends far and wide. We raise funds through our homemade products, candles, soaps, salves, and other natural necessities. Along with fundraising activities. We host a community gathering monthly at our work shop- Farmer/Homesteader Group Therapy. Here, we chat about things we have learned, bring questions and pick each others brains. No agenda, very open, friendly and fun!

Support Your Local Misfits!
