It's been a while so I figured I'd reintroduce myself to new followersπ
My name is Sarah. I work full time providing farm and petcare to residents of Laurens, Greenville, Anderson, Greenwood, and Abbeville counties.
I have experience working with and owning all kinds of animals. From livestock and domesticated animals, to reptiles and exotics.
I myself own and have owned cats, dogs, hedgehogs, hamsters, flying squirrels, chickens, sugar gliders, goats, pigs, turkeys, chickens, ducks, rabbits, geese, guineas, various types of reptiles, horses... the list goes on.
I have rescued animals for many years and am known for such by MANY. I began bottle-feeding orphaned kittens and rescuing dogs. I learned a lot from these experiences and I learn more with each animal that I rescue. I've rescued cats and dogs who were severely emaciated, traumatized, abused, neglected, pregnant, nursing, fear-aggressive, or just under-socialized. I've worked hoarding cases and removed over 60 cats from a single home.
So far, I have successfully rescued, vetted, altered, rehabilitated, and rehomed around 200 cats, and a few dozen dogs. Through all of this, I have learned so much about reading animals' behavior and predicting their reactions.
I have experience working in animal daycare and boarding facilities, county shelters and humane societies, and veterinary offices. These jobs provided me with valuable and essential lessons and knowledge for animal welfare, behavior, and wellbeing.
My previous employments provided classes and learning opportunities to better my understanding of the animal minds and care. Through that, I have learned how to be in tune to each animal's communication and identify and address issues such as fear, pain, illness, stress levels, and behavioral issues.
On the livestock, reptile, and exotic side, all of my knowledge has come from owning my own, experience working with other farms, FFA/Ag, and TONS of research. I seek to expand my knowledge every day and I am CONSTANTLY digging deeper into the care of these complicated creatures.
I have experience with vaccinations, deworming (what to use and when), hoof trimming for goats, nutritional needs, grooming, breeding scheduling, calving, kidding, lambing, foaling, welping, bottle/tube feeding, etc. I also have knowledge of medical emergencies such as colic, GI blockages/issues, hoof/leg injury, parasite related emergencies, etc.
I truly love every animal I work with and I make it my goal to provide better care every day! Whether you need daily, weekly, or seasonal care, please message me for any informationπ I also provide assistance for veterinary visits and routine care such as deworming, grooming, hoof trimming, transportation, pasture rotation, etc!
