As we head into Labor Day weekend…

Some of the most sentient beings — the ones who feel the deepest — are also the ones who’ve endured the most.

When our rescues first arrived, they carried fear, neglect, and silence.
Now, with time and care, they carry trust, rest, and peace.

This weekend, we honor that quiet labor of healing — theirs and ours.
Because love, given the space to grow, restores what was broken.

The True Measure of Wealth 🌿

Imagine if we measured success not by money or status, but by how safe others felt in our presence.

Horses remind us of this every day.
Their hearts literally sync with one another—and even with ours.
When one senses danger, the whole herd feels it.

we stand with them, they can sync their heartbeat to ours, creating a healing bubble of calm and connection.

That’s the real wealth animals give us. No masks. No lies. Nothing to prove. Just unconditional love and an unrelenting presence that says: “You are safe here.”

At Fostering Love Rescues, we see this truth daily. Success isn’t measured in numbers—it’s measured in trust rebuilt, in calmness returned, and in love that flows freely between human and animal.

🤍 If you believe in this kind of wealth, help us keep creating safe spaces for rescues—through donations, shares, or simply by carrying this truth into your own life.

Through Every Season, They Depend on Us

At Fostering Love Rescues here in Colorado, the seasons aren’t just weather — they shape every part of how we keep our animals safe, fed, and healthy.

⸻

Summer

In Colorado, summer heat is unforgiving. Horses and goats can drink 10–20 gallons of water a day — our herd can go through hundreds of gallons daily.

Drought dries up pastures, forcing us to feed hay all year when grass should be growing.

And the flies? They’re relentless. One fly can lay hundreds of eggs, turning into infections, swollen eyes, and stress that weakens our rescues.

Sponsor Summer: $50 = fly masks for 2 horses.
$100 = electrolytes for the herd during heat waves.

⸻

Fall

Colorado fall is beautiful, but it’s also preparation time.

Pastures brown early, and hay prices spike as ranchers stockpile for winter. A single semi-load of hay can cost $5,000–$10,000 depending on drought conditions.

Fall is when we feel the pressure to secure feed before snow hits, knowing shortages can leave sanctuaries scrambling.

Sponsor Fall: $150 = a week of hay for the herd.
$500 = a truckload to prepare for winter.

⸻

Winter

Snowstorms freeze water troughs, requiring hours of breaking ice daily.

Our horses burn extra calories just to stay warm, doubling their hay needs.

Medical issues like arthritis flare in the cold, and it takes grit to push through the long nights.

Sponsor Winter: $75 = heated water troughs for a week.
$200 = extra hay to keep rescues warm.

⸻

Spring

As the land thaws, parasites return.

Flies, ticks, and mud bring hoof infections and vet visits.

Many rescues still need recovery from the winter’s strain. Spring is a season of healing, but also high medical care.

Sponsor Spring: $60 = vet care for seasonal hoof checks.
$120 = dewormer for the herd.

⸻

Every season in Colorado brings a new battle — heat, drought, snow, or pests.

But every season also brings a new chance for you to stand beside us.

Sponsor a Season. Share our story. Carry them through the year.

This is the daily fabric of our lives.
It may look mundane — but it’s what holds everything together.

Today, I hope you pause and notice your own small threads.
The little routines, the overlooked blessings, the quiet acts of care.
Because those are the things that create abundance,
for others, for animals, and for yourself.

The early morning meadow is always the favorite — a place where rescue animals finally get to live as they were meant to. But behind the calm scenes is the daily work that makes survival possible.

👉 Did you know?
• The average horse eats 15–20 lbs of hay a day (that’s 4–5 flakes per horse).

• Goats spend nearly 60% of their day grazing or browsing, which keeps them healthy and prevents boredom.

• Flies and parasites are not just a nuisance — they can cause eye infections, ear wounds, and stress, which is why fly masks, treatments, and pasture management are so critical.

• Routine farrier care (every 6–8 weeks) is essential to prevent pain, lameness, and long-term hoof damage.

Rescue isn’t only about pulling an animal from a bad situation — it’s about providing them with the daily, consistent care they need to truly heal. That means feed, vet visits, medicine, shelter, and love… every single day.

💛 When you share our story, sponsor a horse, or give even $5 toward hay, you are part of that quiet revolution — turning survival into thriving.

Because for them, every meal, every safe day, every ounce of care is life-changing.”

Excuse me, do you have a minute to talk about snacks? Asking for a friend. 👀🐐🐐

A typical day in the life of our goats looks something like this:
🥜 Morning peanut snacks (the ultimate bribe for good behavior)

Snacking around the pasture — because nibbling is a full-time job

🤼‍♂️ A little headbutting practice (don’t worry, it’s how goats play and establish their pecking order!)

💛 Ending the day lounging together, enjoying the safety of the sanctuary

Goats aren’t just adorable — they’re incredibly social, curious, and mischievous. Keeping them enriched with food, play, and companionship keeps them healthy and happy.

So next time you see those wide eyes staring you down, just know… 9/10 times, they’re thinking about snacks. 😉🐐”

“A dog is the only being on earth that loves you more than it loves itself.” – Josh Billings

There’s something about a dog.

The simplicity of their love.
The way they flop beside you when words fail.
The big, slobbery, protective, comically sweet presence that fills a space with more than just barking — but with comfort.

At Fostering Love Rescues, we know the power of animals.
Of open skies and loyal eyes.
Of being reminded — every single day — that love doesn’t have to be complicated to be life-changing.

If you’re lucky enough to have a companion as loyal as a dog, give them an extra squeeze tonight. 🐾
Their love is unwavering.
And we are endlessly grateful to share life with a few of the very best.

One of our big boys goes through toys like nobody’s business (but we can’t blame him… joy should be loud sometimes.)

🌱✨ Choosing compassion isn’t about judgment—it’s about perspective.

When we pause to see animals as individuals, not just products, it reminds us that kindness can be simple, nourishing, and meaningful. Every meal is a chance to care a little more—for them, for ourselves, and for the planet. 💚

Even small choices add up. Whether it’s trying a plant-based meal, learning about sanctuaries, or just sharing their stories—every action makes a difference.

📸 These beautiful souls live safe and loved at sanctuaries where they are free to simply be. ❤️

💚 For those who feel too much — we understand.

It is heavy to be an empath in this world. Heavy to carry the pain of people, and heavier still to carry the silent suffering of animals.

Animals are voiceless. Their cries are often hidden, their stories untold. And yet, their hearts feel, just as ours do. At our sanctuary, we hope to give them back what was taken — dignity, peace, and a chance to heal. Through our work, we advocate not only for the animals in our care, but for countless others across the nation who deserve a life free from cruelty.

To feel deeply is not a weakness. It is a gift. It is what moves us to act, to love, and to protect.

When we choose to be conscious — of what we eat, what we buy, what we support — we are not only healing ourselves, but also shaping a kinder world for animals.

If your heart feels heavy, let it be a reminder: you are not alone, and your compassion is powerful. Together, we can carry the weight, and together, we can create change.

🐾✨ Share, speak, advocate, and live with awareness. For them, and for us all.

🌿 Sanctuary is sacred.

It is not easy work. The weight is heavy, and there is always more to be done. Behind the scenes are feed bills, sore muscles, and endless tasks that never wait for tomorrow.

The animal world holds deep shadows.
🐴 Horses discarded at auctions when their bodies give out.
🐶 Puppies bred for profit while millions in shelters wait for homes.
🐂 Farm animals born into lives measured only by their “use.”

Exploitation for gain is everywhere. And if we choose to look away, the cycle continues.

But here, at sanctuary, beauty rises out of the darkness. A horse who once trembled now lays her head gently in our arms. A donkey once bound for slaughter now brays for breakfast.

This is why sanctuary is sacred — because it turns sorrow into second chances. It reminds us that love is not wasted, even in the hardest places.

We ask for your help in carrying this work:
Live consciously — in what you support, in what you consume, in what you share.

Educate yourself — learn about the industries that profit off suffering.

Donate, volunteer, or simply share — because each small act adds up to life-changing impact.

Sanctuary is proof that even in a world that can be cruel, compassion can win. 💚

Behind the scenes, it’s not glamorous.
It’s messy stalls, feed bills, sore muscles, and weather that doesn’t care if you’re tired.
But it’s also where the magic happens.

Because rescue isn’t about “fixing” an animal — it’s about watching them rediscover what it means to live.
It’s about eyes that used to look past you now looking into you.
It’s about trust rebuilt one touch, one meal, one safe night at a time.

Somewhere along the way, you realize it’s not just the animals changing — it’s you.
You become softer and stronger all at once.
You start noticing the little things — because you know they’re the big things.

Life changes fast.
I hope you remember — today is the only day you can touch.
Not the past.
Not the future.
Just this moment.

If our work and their stories move you, please share this post.
Because the more hearts they reach, the more lives we can change. 🫶

Every Beating Heart Deserves More Than Survival.” 🐓💛

When we think of livestock, too often we think of numbers — not names.
We see “farm animals” instead of individuals.
But each chicken, goat, cow, or pig has a mind, a personality, and the capacity to feel joy, fear, and love.

Chickens, for example, are incredibly intelligent.
🐥 They can recognize over 100 faces (human and animal).
🐥 They dream when they sleep, just like we do.
🐥 They form strong friendships — and even mourn when one is lost.

Yet so many live in cramped, unsanitary conditions, denied sunlight, fresh air, or the simple dignity of a dust bath.
They are treated as commodities, not companions.

💬 Quote:
“Consciousness is not a privilege of the human mind — it is the quiet truth of every living being.”

At Fostering Love Rescues, we believe livestock are not “less than” — they are equals in their right to safety, comfort, and respect. Whether it’s a rescued horse or a barnyard hen, each deserves to be known, cared for, and loved for exactly who they are.

Education leads to empathy.
Empathy leads to change.
And change is how we make the world safer for all.
