We are speechless. Not only did our local supporters show up in full force today but we were also blessed beyond measure by out of state volunteers and donations. Jay with Pan Equus Animal Sanctuary out of Oakland County Michigan stopped by and filled our gator with supplies and spent time showing love to our resident animals. These folks understand the dedication of maintaining a completely donation based animal sanctuary. Please help us show our gratitude and send love over to PEAS barn! https://peasbarn.org/

Guess who I am? My name is Marshmallow and I've had a busy 2 months! I had an unfortunate incident with a vehicle and broke my leg. FurEver Home, Inc. took me in and got me leg saving surgery, but I needed a foster home to recover! Kathy from the Poor Farm took me in and... what a place! I'm fully recovered now and love the farm! I have made a lot of new animal friends and get to greet all of the visitors! They seem to like me as much as I like them! Today, I got my vaccinations and chip so I don't get lost again! All of the paperwork is done! It's official! Come on out tomorrow and meet me. I'd love to thank everyone who donated for my surgery and let you see how well I've healed! Come see my new home where everyone can come see me!!!
