Just a little Benson and Boone update!

These 2 cuties are growing like weeds and getting more brave everyday. They’ve received more dewormer and their first vaccine. We believe they are now between 8-12 weeks old and most likely Walker Hounds. ❤️🐶🤩

For those of you just tuning in, a little over a month ago these poor souls were literally left on the side of a dirt road in the middle of nowhere to fend for themselves. Starving, scared, and full of parasites.

They are now ready for adoption, but separately! If interested in meeting either of them, please fill out an adoption application and make an appointment 💕

Message us or text 252-232-8228!

Don’t forget about Gwen! 🐴❤️

Do you love Arabian horses?

Gwen is as cute as they come! Her dainty little dished face and silly little prance are spectacular ❤️ She's an approximately 14 year old, 14.3hh purebred Arabian who is an inquisitive clean slate. She has overcome years of neglect and is ready for her forever person who will start or restart her. We are unsure if she was ever broke to saddle.
For more information about Gwen please message us or text 252-232-8228.

No hoof, no horse! 🐎

Each of the horses in our care gets a hoof trim every 4-5 weeks by a natural barefoot trimmer as part of their care routine. That’s $50 per horse every monthish! A vital investment to their health, however taxing on the rescues funds.

Please considering sponsoring a trim!
Lucy, Jasmine, Keegan, Easy, Gwen, Emmett, Tater, Bailey, Bravo, Dandy, Pedro, Dash ❤️🐴🙏

Happy Monday!! Who wants some puppy 🐶 love 💕
We need 3 fosters or adopters for this bunch!
We especially need help with Eeny…. She has a significant overbite and isn’t getting enough food fast enough before her litter mates gobble it up ❤️ yes, we’ve started to feed her separately but she’d still thrive more in her own home!

Check this bunch out! Adoption includes age appropriate vaccines and dewormer, microchip, and spay/ neuter!
