Hope Valley Ranch

Hope Valley Ranch Helping animals in need one at a time.
*Going through an organizational change at this time, please be patient during the updates.

After personal life events and Covid, we have shifted to supporting local small farm animals. While we will continue to help international street dog efforts, its become financially impossible to bring dogs here from Brazil. Donations received for other rescues will be forwarded after processing fees by 3rd party processors. Over the years, we have not posted about our work here on the farm. Going

forward, our posts will be primarily about happenings here, educational information and highlighting efforts we believe in and know the individuals/organizations well. As always the goal is still to make a difference one animal at a time. US donations are tax deductible and receipts are provided.

Little Nancy is always cold after a bath. Grandma to the rescue. And soon she stopped shivering and was ready for a nap. Will cherish these moments as the girls are starting to show their age. Approaching the 10yr mar in rescuek, many of the dogs are either super seniors, starting to show their age or have crossed the bridge.

It’s bittersweet. Never to forget, they have all far outlived their original odds thanks to rescue and all the people who have helped make it happen.

Creature of habit, Buttercup was insisting to go back to the garage last night. Had to place her in the coop last night. All went well and continues to go well today.

Undecided about this coop design. Has its pros and cons. Definitely not as solid as our usual construction. The roost bar design didn’t make sense in how are they supposed to get up there and worse is how would they get down without hurting themselves. Will come up with a further modification.

Chickening has its fair share of learning along the way. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not one of our best executions. I’m going to blame perimenopause for my confusing the guys. Video in 6x speed as this coop isn’t built like the solid structures we typically do here but we needed something quick. It’s cute tho.

Whenever I think I’m alone outside, I know the barn cats are watching over me. Especially while in the garden. Cutest garden gnomes.

I don’t advocate for every property to have outside cats for safety reasons and each cat is different but we are fortunate here to be far back from the main road and surrounded by forest and farmland. There are still dangers here but the risks are greatly diminished.

And our sanctuary barn cats would not do well being solely indoor cats based on their history. Living their best lives one day at a time.

Lately Chip has been drinking from Buttercup’s waterer. But then I noticed….

Buttercup completed her antibiotic series for her lower respiratory infection. She is doing better and minimal chirping sound. She may just have residual effects going forward will keep an eye on it.

Giving liquid medicine to chickens is doable but take your time to avoid aspirating. Each are different but she was not a fan of medicine time. Waited until she calmed down before administering.

We are so proud of her and she is doing very well.

If you’ve followed Chip’s story, it will never get old when I see him fully relaxed and at peace. We are grateful to be a part of his journey so he can live his best life.

Animals have their own timeline. It’s not what social media and many would like but that not who we are here for. Life is a marathon, not a sprint.

Chip is so adorable and quirky.
