RIP Rambo

By

We just got word today that Rambo (Mack K's Rambo), a Tennessee Walking Horse we rescued in 2007 just passed away. He was only 11 days from his 30th birthday. Rambo had been the personal horse of a woman who passed away suddenly in 2007 when her tractor flipped over on top of her, killing her immediately.

We had a special horse … [Read more...]

The New Kitty at Hanaeleh

By

Hanaeleh is currently home to four "feral" cats: Amy, Oscar, Rex and Rascal. The original thought behind having feral cats is that we would help provide a safe place for a cat who was not tame enough to live in a home, while at the same time the cats would keep the rodent population down.  This, of course, was before The Great Treaty of Nimh, which very clearly states that "No rat or mouse shall bother a cat, nor eat the food of a cat, nor in any other way antagonize a cat. In return, cats shall … [Read more...]
