And so it begins, the endless pedicures, tusk trimming, and health check for each animal. We started doing our own hooves last year, it saves so much money.

As 2025 comes to an end, I sit here and reflect on this past year. This year has been full of many ups and downs, including a shift in what we had been doing to what we are doing now. This year we have really focused on slowing down and focusing on our 4 legged friends that live here at the rescue. We posted less, made some improvements, and welcomed many wonderful men that needed community service hours. Our volunteers not only help us with the mundane tasks of endless chores but they helped us see our rescue through their eyes. Which meant slowing down, being in the minute, and seeing our rescue for what it is. Its beauty, the many beautiful animals that all have a story. To sit and be still and not worry about the work ahead, to just sit and spend time with the beautiful creatures that have brought us so much joy. Its so easy to get caught up in the endless chore list and to post all the updates, sometimes you have to take a timeout and remember why we started the rescue in the first place. By slowing down and not being involved in as many community events it has given us the opportunity to see through a different lens. Not only do we want to provide a safe and loving environment for our animals but also the individuals that come here to volunteer or do classes. That's right, we will be offering classes again Spring of 2026. So as we have slowed down, please know that we continue to do what we have set out to do. Our focus is our animals and the community. We still take rescues but it is on a case by case basis. We want our animals to have the best care and most of their care comes out of our own pockets. We do have a few wonderful individuals that donate every year and we are extremely thankful for them. So with that being said we can't house all the animals...it is very hard to say no but there is always a reason why. We appreciate every one of you for your love and continued support. Thank you always ❤️.
A very special New Year to each and every one of you,
From all of us here at Sunshine Farm Rescue and Sanctuary

Every evening Penelope will sneak up on me and grab my clothing to gain my attention! Tonight I was ready for her and turned around tickled her and ran after her. She absolutely was not having it. She knows how to dish it but she cannot take it for sure lol
Such a silly big baby girl.

What a beautiful tribute. Thank you so much Dale Krueger IV for sharing our story and keeping Ethan Dutter memory alive. We may not do as much as we once did but we have our focus on the animals that live at the Sanctuary. We have placed over 60 animals in new farm homes but out of that 60, we have only found homes for 2 adult pigs. The rest were goats, sheep, birds of all kinds, horses, and of course the piglets from Sarah (the sow that was pregnant when she came to us). With that being said it is only fair that we focus on the beautiful animals that will remain here the rest of their lifes. We have grown and learnt so much about not only our 4 legged critters but ourselves. We have also met some pretty fantastic individuals. We have been blessed to have individuals with special needs come to our farm both adults and children. This past year we haven't done that as much due to making some changes and simply being a bit busy. We have met some great guys that need community service hours and heard so many life changing stories. We simply are blessed and will continue to do what we do just on a smaller scale. Thank u for supporting us through it all and thank you Dale..for such an amazing story! Who would of guessed..many years ago when you just were here as farm help before the rescue began..that you would be sharing our journey. Hugs my friend and thank you again. ❤️

They encourage us to be better people and regardless of what they have been through or where they have come from, they still choose to love us regardless of their past. I think we all could take a lesson from our animal friends. So each day i wake up and question myself: Am I being KIND in all areas of my life regardless of my own stresses and story? Am I treating others the way I want to be treated?
With all the HATE AND NEGATIVITY that is happening right now. YOU can make a difference by YOUR CHOICE of WORDS and offering to help or just being there for a friend, family, or a stranger.
Just be kind always 💕 you never know someone else's struggles.

All snuggled up and keeping each other warm. ❤️
