We have another heartwarming adoption story to celebrate! Zulla and Erec went home together last month!
Zulla arrived at Longmeadow as part of a high-profile rescue investigation last year. When she first came to us, she was in rough shape, both emotionally and physically. It took months of patient rehabilitation, extensive veterinary exams, farrier care, and routine treatments to help her heal and regain her strength. With her gentle disposition and kind eyes, we hoped she would find the forever home she deserved. After such a long history of neglect, however, we knew it might take time.
Meanwhile, Erec, a sweet senior horse with a young spirit, had also been waiting patiently for another chance at his forever home. Both of these horses had stories that tugged at our hearts, and we held onto hope that someone special would see in them what we did.
Then, eight months after her arrival, Zulla’s moment finally came. Not only did she find a loving family, but she also found a lifelong companion in Erec. As July came to an end, Brittany and her family opened their hearts and home to both horses, bringing their Longmeadow chapters to a joyful end and marking the beginning of a beautiful new one.
We’re over the moon to see these two deserving souls head off to a life filled with love, companionship, and peace (well, maybe not so peaceful at times😂) . Knowing they’ll spend their golden years together, surrounded by care and kindness, makes us ecstatic.
Here’s a recent update (and photos) from their new family:
“We absolutely love these two. They bonded with each other so quickly, and they’re getting along great with our other two horses. (We didn’t realize until now, but apparently we have a thing for bays and paints 😂😂). They’re incredibly sweet, come when they’re called, and absolutely adore the kids. We’re so happy to have them.”
Zulla and Erec, you’ll always be part of the Longmeadow family, but now, you’re finally home.
