🎄🐴 It’s Time for the Freedom Ranch Annual Toy Collection! 🐮🎁

We’re excited to kick off this year’s toy collection, where we are collecting farm- and animal-themed toys to be donated to families in need. You can drop off or ship your toys directly to the address listed on the poster!

📦 Toys will be accepted through December 20th.

This year, all donated toys will go to Safe Space, Inc., a non-profit organization whose mission is to reduce relationship violence and sexual assault in Franklin County, NC and surrounding communities. We are honored to support their incredible work. ❤️

At Freedom Ranch, we’re not just about the animals—
we’re about humans, kindness, and humanitarian efforts throughout our community. Whether it’s supporting our veterans, working with children, partnering with churches and groups, or educating others, Freedom Ranch is here to make the world a little better for everyone.

🙏 Your donation truly matters. There are children in our community who need these toys to lift their spirits and brighten their day—and you can make that happen.

Thank you for your love, compassion, and continued support.
🎁🐓🐄 Let’s make this Holiday Season magical for the families who need it most.

Updates:

Goats…

Well, everyone was able to get their vaccines today but Blondie who missed the bus. She is the sneakiest little girl! Don’t worry, she’ll get her vaccines “when the time is right” aka on her own terms😆

Grace was an absolute drama queen (screamed at me for several minutes after she was “released” from my bear hug). All the boys (Charlie, Tito, Joel, Buck, Bambi) were sweet angels 😊 Hazel was a big girl; Maggie, Robin, Jo, and Frankie did great!

Ruth…

Looks like Ruth’s weight loss is likely due to 1 - the frequent f***l water syndrome we highly suspect is due to scarring from previous parasites (she arrived years ago with huge roundworms among other worms) 2 - she’s lost most of and is loosing the remaining teeth (no dental care prior to arriving here and minis aren’t known for their amazing dental genes)… We’ve been addressing her FWS for several years and we have been on a different feeding protocol for the past month or so to help with her weight. Reminder that Ruth is now our oldest mini here - she is a sweet, spunky girl who we love so much! She’s been holding her weight recently but it just isn’t enough. Adding a 3rd feeding, hoping to get her back on track.

Penny…

Penny had her first trim with us today and did amazing! Vet+trimmer teamed up to help this girl. She had to be sedated but did so well… our barefoot trimmer working on her overgrown hooves so we are on a good path! 🫏

Bob…

Looks like the treatment we did for Bob’s cancer over the summer worked and his ear has no signs of growths etc. 🎉

Maverick, Maggie, and Flash are doing great!

Remi and Howie are doing great!

We are so thankful for our vet team and trimmer!
Donations are incredibly appreciated to help support our mission - to help animals in need!

We weren’t able to take any pictures because we are a small army - please enjoy these past pics ❤️ not everyone just a quick selection ❤️

🇺🇸 Lunch with a Veteran — A Huge Success! 🇺🇸

What an incredible day at Freedom Ranch for this year’s Lunch with a Veteran! We’re overflowing with gratitude for everyone who made this event so special — our amazing volunteers, friends, family, and most importantly, our sponsors who made it all possible:

💙 Select Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc.
🤍 Old School Detail LLC & Old School Bike Shop LLC
❤️ Louisburg Tractor

These local businesses are true pillars of our community, and their support helps us continue to honor those who’ve served.

We were treated to fantastic entertainment by the talented Major Rob Fessock, and the food — wow! Chef Sean knocked it out of the park, especially with his legendary peach cobbler (just one of many mouthwatering dishes on the buffet).

The day was filled with great conversations, laughter, camaraderie, and plenty of tours around the ranch to meet all our amazing animals.

But above all, this day was about our Veterans — the heart and soul of this event. 🇺🇸
Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your continued inspiration to us all.

❤️ From everyone at Freedom Ranch — we salute you!

🐴 Freedom Ranch Chronicles: Remi the Houdini Horse! 🐷

Well… it finally happened. We caught Remi — red-handed (or should we say, red-hooved) — breaking and entering into the pig pen!

Yes, my name is Remi.
Yes, I lifted the chain hasp all by myself.
Yes, I let myself in with the pigs.
And yes… I was having the time of my life until I got busted!

Apparently, the grass — and the mud — really are greener on the pig side. 🐖

🌟 Volunteer Spotlight & Rescue Update! 🌟

A huge THANK YOU to our amazing volunteers who made the rescue of Penny the Donkey possible! 💕

It took our dedicated co-founders a couple of weeks and many trips back and forth to visit Penny, slowly earning her trust. Thanks to their persistence—and the kindness of our volunteers—Penny is now safe and sound at her forever home here at Freedom Ranch. 🫏✨

We also want to give special thanks to Hope and the farm estate for all their support and help in making this rescue happen. Your generosity and partnership mean the world.

Penny’s journey is just beginning, and we can’t wait to share more details with you soon. Stay tuned!

👉 Please continue to support Freedom Ranch so we can carry on our mission of giving animals like Penny a second chance. Every donation, share, and kind word helps us keep going strong. ❤️

A quick update for now…
Not a good update 😔
We said goodbye for now to our buddy. Sampson has crossed over to endless alfalfa fields and trotting around with his wavy locks.

He was the best!

You’ll hear back from us later. Keep Howie in your thoughts.

We loved Sampson so much ❤️‍🩹

Keep our sweet, sweet Sampson in your thoughts!

Yesterday, he experienced a pretty bad choke. Sampson is THE oldest resident at Freedom Ranch and Howie’s presumed father.

It was super scary but he is doing much better.

Howie has been by Sampson’s side. He seems concerned about his dad ❤️

Sampson didn’t need sedation for the nasogastric tube procedure… He fought a little but was very brave on the second try. Sampson is really the best!

1 - we are raising funds to cover the emergency visit ($629)
2 - he is on a very frequent feeding schedule so Gail is at the barn every few hours and on 2 different injection meds
3 - we are watching him closely

Keep Sampson and Howie in your thoughts.

Please consider donating if you can ☀️
