Almost 2 years ago, we welcomed Clark the rooster into the sanctuary. He was our first critical care rescue, and solidified our purpose—to provide rescue, rehabilitation and sanctuary to the types of animals most people overlook, or even worse— dispose of.

As long as he wanted to fight for his life, we would fight with him, and eventually, he became our first happily ever after 💗 Clark’s story has come full circle now and we are absolutely heartbroken, but we also take comfort knowing we were able to make up for some of the cruelty he suffered and give him the “happily ever after” he deserved.

Roosters have a reputation for being aggressive and scary. I learned so much from Clark and went on to tame 5 aggressive roosters. This 15 pound gentle giant went on to teach countless kids (and adults) the value of a little kindness and love.

Rest in peace beautiful, sweet boy. You will be missed 🥺😢💗

We could really use you help to help more of these forgotten babies. Please consider donating… any amount you can spare helps so much 💗

**UPDATE ON POTATO!**

Hi everyone! Now that we are getting back to posting, I want to give an update on Potato (the stray piggie with the broken hind end—both knees, both hocks and left femur)! Our last post in May was Potato’s progress and a video of his swim therapy session to help him walk again. I received a lot of negative comments for this video (which was both shocking and discouraging) and haven’t posted since. I guess Facebook is not for the faint of heart…

That said, I continued swim therapy and I am happy to report that Potato has done so well, we had him neutered and introduced him to the piggie sanctuary!!! He is SO happy and we are SO proud of him!!

GO POTATO GO!!

Happy Halloween from Blue Barn Rescue!— I know, it’s been a long time since we posted. Thank you to those that reached out to see if all is ok! It’s been a challenging summer/ fall—between lack of foster homes, lack of funding and personal health issues, survival mode has not allowed time for social media.

The good news is, we are getting back to a state of normalcy just in time for our many adorable and amazing bunnies and guinea pigs to show off their Halloween costumes!

Meet bunnies ( I mean, the witch and wizard) Snow White and Prince Charming, and piggies: fire truck Cow, hot dog Remi and bumble bee biscotti! These guys and many others are still searching for their forever homes.

If you are interested in fostering or adopting, please fill out an application on our website bluebarnrescue.org!

If you are interested in helping out, fill out a volunteer application or consider visiting our “support us” page to donate! Every donation, no matter how big or small, truly makes a difference!

*UPDATE ON STARBURST*

For those following Starburst’s story… He is doing amazing Post Amputation🤩! We are over the moon for him! He is already back in his amazing foster home, no longer needs pain medication and runs around like nothing happened. his new “command center” is on top of his castle 😂

Way to go little man! He and his brother Reese’s will be available for ADOPTION in a couple of weeks! Though he is a tripod now, starburst will require no ongoing care and this adorable and super sweet pair would be a great addition to any family 😍

If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website: bluebarnrescue.org

*UPDATE ON PAULIE*

I wanted to touch base with everyone following Paulie’s story…

He went in for surgery yesterday. Sadly, he did not make it through 😭

We are absolutely heartbroken— but we knew there was a very slim chance he would make it, however, he couldn’t continue living the way he was, in pain, constantly having his face flushed out. His other option was euthanasia. I can sleep at night knowing we gave him a chance at a pain free, happy life. It was his choice to let go, and he slipped away under anesthesia, unaware of what was happening.

Thank you to all who donated, cared and shared 💗

*UPDATE ON PAULIE’S UPDATE*

Culture came back with some weird SUPER resistant bacteria… there is ONE antibiotic that it responds to… hopefully he will respond well! MAYBE he can clear it up with JUST antibiotics!!! But will likely still need surgery to clean out his face and remove the teeth causing the issue… Will let you all know how he progresses! Fingers crossed!

*UPDATE ON PAULIE*

Paulie visited a new vet today at Monroe Animal Hospital! Thank you SO much Robin for the referral! Dr. Greenberg is amazing 🤩.

We have a plan for Paulie now— and a vet that is willing to take the risk to help him! It will be a difficult surgery—but his only option at a quality life without pain…

He will need a CT scan to better plan the surgery, and he will have surgery to extract all of the teeth on the upper right side and clean out all of the abscesses in his face. She will try to save the eye, but if it needs to be removed in order to properly clean out all of the infected areas, she will remove it. It’s a last resort, but one I am willing to do in order to save him and give him a good life!

The vet agreed, he is otherwise too happy, and too healthy to give up on him, so we are not crazy to try!

However, the surgery and CT scan will be expensive. If you are interested in donating to Paulie’s treatment plan, we (Paulie especially) really appreciate it! 🥰

*We also could really use donations of critical care formula (as that will be his toothless diet)— as well as rabbit / puppy pens/ litter boxes (really anything bunny or guinea pig) if anyone is looking to clean out their basement!

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone that has and continues to support our mission 💗💗💗
