1 Day Ranch Rescue

10/22/2026

Just want to take a moment to thank everyone who donated towards Logan’s burial… You all helped make a horrible day for us a lot easier. This might just seem like a picture of some dirt, but to us it’s a promise that was kept… and it means the world that we were able to do so! 💜

This morning I found Logan, the oldest member of our herd here at the ranch, passed away overnight 💔.

Logan was a very special horse to me. He was not a “kind” horse in any way… To be honest, he hated most humans with an impressive level of passion, was overall extremely grumpy, and I loved him fiercely. He was a BLM mustang, and his brand showed he was one who had been rounded up a lot older than most (we don’t know why that is, but it was confirmed by BLM) and I have no idea what happened in his life after that before coming here, but he was completely feral and untouchable. After a LOT of working with him and training (with very little success), I finally hit my limit and said “LETS MAKE A DEAL, I won’t force you to interact with humans or push you past your limits, I will never make you get on a trailer again (his biggest fear), and you never have to leave here… but you can’t try to hurt me!” And I guess he agreed! From that point on, he was respectful towards me, and let me handle him without much issue. (he also eventually got to where he would walk up to Sky and let her pet him because she was “treat lady”. lol).

I am so thankful to have been Logan’s final home. I know he was cared for and loved these past 10 years…. And I am also thankful that he left us on his own terms. I know it’s what he wanted. I will miss our late night cuddles (that he randomly started giving me one day and would only do if NOBODY else was around) and his funny glares he would give to visitors… he was one of a kind for sure!

I want to honor the promise I made to Logan, that he would never have to leave here, by having him buried here at the ranch. The cost for the backhoe to come bury him here is $360. If you are able or willing to donate to his burial? It would mean a lot to all of us here. You can do so in one of the following ways…

Hey friends… it’s Monday again! That means it’s feed store day!

I had hoped that we wouldn’t have to ask for feed fund donations this week, but… let’s be honest, life has simply not been going anyone’s way lately, has it? 🤦‍♀️ We ARE very happy that the temps have at least calmed down a bit for now… and while we know it’s likely “false fall” for us here in Oklahoma, we will take whatever we can get! (See photo tax of our “odd trio” Arya the Mustang with her tiny besties Rookie and Cali the Minis! They are quite happy about it not being over 100 today!🤣)

ANYWAYS- Here are our current prices:
Horse feed: $20 per bag (need 7)
Pig feed: $17 per bag (need 4)
Goat/sheep feed: $19 per bag (need 2)
Puppy feed: $27 per bag (need 1)
Alfalfa hay: $19 per bale (need at least 10)

If you are able to donate even a few dollars? That would help us tremendously today!

Hello friends! Is anyone else OVER this heat? We sure are🥵. This summer has been absolutely brutal and, sadly, it doesn’t look like it is giving up any time soon! We are going through SO much water every day (800+ gallons) filling and refreshing tanks, tubs, pools, and etc just to keep all the animals hydrated and cool. Thankfully we have a really good well, but we don’t even want to talk about the electric bill😒. Yall please pray for rain! We NEED IT.

Unfortunately this extreme Oklahoma heat has meant we are going through hay just as fast as we do in the winter at this point (our pastures are pretty well scorched… except the weeds of course. 🙄) and we are needing to buy more round bales and alfalfa today!

Round bales are $50-$60 each ($50 if we can buy a load of 8 at once) and small square alfalfa is $20. If you can help even a little bit? We need it and would appreciate it SO much! We simply dont have the funds, but we HAVE to get more hay today. Every single dollar counts!

Hey friends. It’s time for a quick update on Sarge, and also a plea to help us with care costs for him and our other current cases!

I feel like this video really sums up Sarge in general. 😂 This sweet wiggly guy is doing REALLY well! He has officially completed his first 30 days of heartworm treatment, and his skin infections are healing beautifully. He’s gained a little bit of weight already, is really one of the SWEETEST boys ever, and will do just about anything for a butt scratch. As you can see, he’s almost a totally different dog compared to a month ago… He is scheduled to get neutered within the next 2 weeks, before he starts getting his big time heartworm treatment injections.

That said-we are still badly in need of donations for him to be able to complete his full treatment, AND for Daisy (the mama dog we recently posted, more pics of her and her pups very soon!) and her pups to go in for another vet visit/the pups to begin their vaccines. We also are going through puppy pads and other supplies like crazy with that crew! Sadly, The costs for euthanizing Michonne last week really cleared out any extra we had😔… So if you can spare even a few dollars this week? It would be SO appreciated!

On Thursday afternoon we lost a pivotal member of our herd and a incredibly loved and special friend. Michonne wasn’t ready to leave, but her old body couldn’t keep going… After coming to us after enduring horrible starvation and cruelty, she showed us how incredibly strong she really was… She recovered fully, and went on to spend the last 12 years as the pasture matriarch, the baby sitter, and a true favorite of visitors and our therapy friends. She ran the pasture with an iron fist when needed, but was also gentle, sweet, and so very kind. She adored children, and connected with them the moment they saw her… on multiple occasions, children who were mostly non verbal? would speak to her… her spirit was magic. She was magic.

We are all crushed beyond words by her loss, but we had to do the last right thing for her in letting her go.

Rest easy, sweet girl. Your magic lives on in every person you helped and loved here on earth. 💔💜💔

Hello and Happy Tuesday! We have a new case that we have waited a bit to share about, but now I feel confident in doing so.

On July 10th we responded to a call regarding a dog and her 8 newborn (1-2 days old max) puppies that were dumped at an abandoned homeless encampment. 😔

PLEASE NOTE: Some of these first photos might be unsettling to some people, but it’s important to share the situation, and why we had to step in… and I don’t in any way want this post to be negative towards anyone who is unhoused. I will say that the majority of the people I have worked with who are unhoused have taken far BETTER care of their animals than the majority of people in much better situations…. I do believe that these dogs were placed here AFTER the camp was abandoned. But I will never know the full details.

To be completely honest, the LAST thing we wanted or needed was to take on another case while we are still in the middle of Sarge’s treatment, and battling this brutal heat with all of the other animals here at the ranch… but the situation was dire, and we knew that this momma and her babies were absolutely not going to make it without immediate help. It’s heartbreaking that someone would just leave any animal like this, but NEWBORN BABIES? It’s despicable. 💔

The momma dog (who we think is a Springer Spaniel mix, and we are now calling Daisy🌼), was very dehydrated, stressed, and emaciated. The puppies were all extremely dehydrated as well, and most of them were very close to death due to heat exposure. I made the choice to wait to post about them until I had a better idea of if they would even make it, because the puppies were in really bad shape.

We have now had them here for 11 days and I am happy to report that Daisy is doing amazing. She is a wonderful momma, and a JOY of a dog to handle and interact with. Sadly, we did lose one puppy😔… she was just too far gone and passed quietly the first night we had them. The other puppies were touch and go for a bit, but have bounced back and are now doing awesome! They are fat little butterballs and ADORABLE. We have no clue what they are mixed with, obviously, so it will be a surprise to see what they end up looking like.

We will be needing to take Daisy and all the puppies back to the vet soon for another recheck, and the puppies will have to start their vaccines soon. We have already had to spend quite a bit of money on special food for Daisy, dewormer, flea/tick treatment, etc…. So ANY donations anyone would like to make would be SO appreciated. Again, we were not planning on 8 new souls to care for… but, their little lives mattered, and they deserved a chance to be loved and happy! So we don’t regret it.

💜Sarge update time!💜
‼️DONATIONS NEEDED ASAP FOR HIS MEDICAL CARE!‼️
Hey everyone! Thank you for your patience while we have been looking into all of our options for Sarge’s medical care moving forward!

Before we get into all that, I wanted to answer the most asked question we’ve had so far… “Is his case is going to be investiated?” The short answer is YES. His case IS continuing to be investigated. Also, I AM aware of a post that was made in another local group, potentially about him. However, I cannot speak on that, nor can I speak on the current status of the investigation. We hope those responsible are brought to justice just as much as you all do. We promise!

👉Now for his medical situation!
Monday afternoon we were at the vet for a full workup… He did great with the vet! He loves meeting new people and is just a super friendly guy! However, we didn’t get great news overall.

The vet was just as shocked as we were that he survived out in the heat like he did. He was still dehydrated but making great progress. He had responded to the sub-Q fluids well, thankfully! He is underweight, and has quite a bit of muscle that he needs to build back. He also has multiple skin infections from “urine scald” (which is essentially the hair and skin rotting off due to being constantly soaking in urine and feces… and we knew that just from looking at him). A few of the areas, specifically an open sore on his right leg, part of his stomach, and a large portion of his tail, are pretty severely infected. He has been started on antibiotics for this now. He also has diarrhea due to intestinal parasites, which we have began treatment for as well. He will have to be neutered as soon as safely possible due to one testicle being concerning, but thankfully that will be a non-issue when neutered. Sadly, the worst thing we found out is that he is Heartworm positive, and it is a very progressed case.😣

We have began Heartworm treatment now, which includes a month of oral medication, a month waiting period after completing the oral medication, and a series of injections combined with more oral medications in the following 2 months. Unfortunately, Heartworm treatment requires very strict exercise restrictions AND is very expensive. But, it is absolutely necessary for his survival and long term health.

Thanks to your donations already, we were able to pay for his initial vet visit and current medications! We are so thankful to you all for that. 💜

I have included the veterinary estimates for his treatments over the next 4 months in the photos. We were advised to expect the high range in terms of cost… This will total around $1400. 😳

⭐️We REALLY need your help to make sure Sarge gets the necessary treatment he needs to live a long and healthy life! ⭐️

Hey everyone! Sorry for the delay in updates on Sarge (also now known as “Sergeant Wigglebottoms”… because everyone needs a Government name. 🤣) We went to the vet on Monday, and unfortunately didn’t get great news… we are still waiting on final estimates on what he needs moving forward… I will have everything tomorrow, and will post a full update then!

Sarge spent most of Sunday sleeping (he was SO exhausted) and rehydrating. Even with sub-Q fluids it took some time. I also realized very quickly that we needed to bring in some HEAVY HITTERS when it came to bathing… So, on Monday morning we went to our VP’s grooming salon, and after 6 FULL SHAMPOOS TOTAL, we got him clean! (Or as clean as he’s going to get… he’s still stained, and still has some lingering smell… But, it was soaked into his pores, so there’s only so much we can do. It will take time… But it’s MUCH improved!). We also got his disgusting molded together collar removed, and he got a summertime watermelon bandana…. He thinks he looks pretty snazzy!

We have began treatment for a lot of things, but he’s going to need a lot more moving forward… like I said, I will be sure to update tomorrow when I get the final paperwork from the vet. He is greatly enjoying some couch cuddles in the cool AC today, though…. He’s already looking a lot better just being clean and rehydrated. 💜

Check back tomorrow for full vet update and what the future holds for this sweet guy!
