animal rescue ( Archived) (56)

i found two birds in a house that was for rent the owner of the house didn't even no they where there that was 3 years ago i still have them in my house and there doing great

Now that's cool...do they just fly around??? I often have house wrens that flit in and out when my windows are open and the screens are down...They also nest on my porches and the bats sleep out there too...there are several lizards that make my cabin their home and of course there is Regina Negra, my black goat who lives mostly on the fat fronch porch.

no they where in a huge cage so i took cage and birds-- i can't let them out because i have a 9 year old boy and Tater and Grumpy aren't very friendly

So what kind of birds are tater and grumpy???

cockatiels

well i have several animal rescue storeys about animals i've rescued but i'll only share a couple at this point cuz it takes so long.

well the first horse i ever rescued was back in 1998.she was a pure arabian mare that had been at a pmu place where she had been bred over and over, she was under wieght, malnurished, and her hooves were really long and cracked, she had rain rot and mud fever.well i seen her at an auction and my heart went out for her so i bid $100 and got her, we took her home and put her on a high fat and protien diet, groomed her up and got the mud that was caked on her off cleaned up any wounds and had the vet out to give her all her shots and the farrier out to trim her.she was so sweet and well behaved just stood there loving the attention.over the next few months she gained wieght but we also noticed her belly getting bigger then it should have been which caused us to suspect she was in foal.so we had the vet come out and check her and sure enough she was pregnant, unfortunatly since she had been so unhealthy she miscarried not long after we found out, but we half expected it and moved on worring about getting her in shape.a year later when she was healthy and sound to ride we started breaking her in she was around 13 years old and had never been rode but u wont never have known that, it was if she had been being rode all her life she was perfect.we had her for 3 years before we sold her to a friend of my moms.she was a smaller horse and me and my sister and out grown her but she now has a great forever home.


in 2005 i rescued 2 other horses both were in there 20's and both were possibly in foal.they were both skin and bone and both had 3 month old foals at there side which were weaned early due to the fact both had stopped producing milk.the one mare named bartender was blind in 1 eye and lame due to a kick in her knee when she was younger.anyways i took them both and had them both gaining weight and we had high hopes for the foals to be carried through the pregnancy since they were only 3 weeks pregnant when i got them.we had the vet out several times throughout there pregnancies and each time we were told the foals were growing fast and were healthy. but stormy miscarried 3 months before her due date(no one knew why not even the vet)but other wise stormy was healthy and fat and it didn't effect her anyway so i gave her a few months of then began to work with her retrianing her for trail riding, which went well other then she would never be sutiable for a beginner since she thought she was still young and could be ery hyper.i focused my attention a bartender wanting to get her through her pregnancy with no complications.she foaled on june 10 8 days late but with no apparent problems.but we soon realized something was wrong.the filly was absolutly beautiful and looked healthy but we soon found out something was wrong with her legs.she was not able to stand on her own and couldn't nurse.the vet checked her and suggested we give her a few weeks to see if she could learn.i bottle fed her and worked several long hard hours to help her, she was a fighter she tried her heart out but just couldn't.we decided to splint her legs because we knew it would help but she didn't like them and would just give up when they were put on, yet as soon as they were off she was back to her fighting little self.unfortunatly 5 days later she became very ill and i decided it would be best for everyone to lay her to rest i didn't want her to suffer, so on june 15th we had the vet out and humanly put her down.even though i was heart broken i had to move on i had to find homes for bartender and stormy(which didn;t take long)my bosses mother had become very attatched to bartender and i decided to give her to her.as for stormy my uncle liked riding her and his friend was looking for a companion horse for his yearling so i gave her to him, and i go out to visit her and ride her every now and then.

lots, I worked for a shelter for cats and dogs. saved a few birds in my day to.

got my cat from a shut down methlab,hes nuts,drools like crazey when you scratch his ears...love that kitty though.

a long with the horses i have also rescued god only knows how many cats, several dogs, birds, mice, rats, a few goats, squirrels, and chipmunks

i hope to open a rescue center someday
