It’s that time at the end of the year when we reflect upon the horses (and other animals) you have helped over the past 12 months. We are filled with so much gratitude for your support, because this is what makes rescuing and caring for horses-in-need possible. Every horse represents the combined efforts of our community – volunteers, donors, and supporters who believe in the power of second chances.
As is tradition in December, each day this month, we share stories from the past year that are the direct result of you and your dedication to horses-in-need.

MYERS
AAE welcomed Myers along with Portia, Maia, and Whiskey in summer 2023. After a call from law enforcement to help with an older horse, we went to pick up Maia and discovered another three in need of help. The horses’ basic care and overall health had been inadequate for some time. Myers and Whiskey were stallions who had each been tied to a 15-foot rope attached to a metal stake in the ground, and some resarch shows they likely lived this way for seven years. At that time, we didn’t take in mature stallions due to the difficult challenges they can represent, but we couldn’t leave Myers and Whiskey where they were. We added Portia to the intake, and loaded her into the trailer with Maia, then returned for the boys after building two stallion paddocks at AAE.
Myers was a bit challenging with studly behavior, but overall, he was not unmanageable. Over the following several months at AAE, he gained weight, his handling and behavior improved considerably. Once he was more manageable, he was dewormed and had hoof care, though he wasn’t a fan of farrier work. He had dental care, and vaccines, and he got a microchip. His hooves were touched up after his dental. Soon after, he was castrated, and that closed that chapter of his life. He was ready to start a new chapter.
After he’d been with us for a little over a year, he made a really big transformation, and Myers found a forever home!
This holiday season, the horses we rescue have only one wish: a bright future. With your support, we can give them more than just shelter — we can give them hope. Join us in making their dreams come true by helping us provide the funding needed to care for and rehome these majestic creatures. Your generosity this December will help more horses find their second chance in 2025.
Your donations provide a safe, loving home for rescued horses. Your contribution will ensure that horses like Myers find the peace and care they deserve, now and in the future. Any amount is very much appreciated, and it makes a big difference for the horses.

MOLLIE & MILA
Sweet Mollie is a beautiful ~5 year old Arabian mare who arrived with her ~6 month old filly by her side. They were diamonds in the rough! Poor Mollie was so defeated and spent. When we first met her, her sadness was palpable. It was as if she had nothing left. She had been separated from her filly, and after who knows how many months of the food and safety deprivation she had endured, it seemed so wrong she would be deprived of her connection with her baby.
Mila had put herself in a corner trying to get to mom. The yearning to be with each other was painful to see. Thankfully, when we returned with the trailer a couple day later, the girls were all moved to a large holding area (the arena) together. From there, we moved them through alleys and chutes to sort and load them. You can see the relief, already.
The first thing we did when we got back to AAE was reunite the group, most importantly, moms with foals. They had been separated in the spirit of their own good because they were all so depleted, but they were all so stressed, it seemed like unnecessary stress at that moment.
Though she wasn’t halterable initially, it didn’t take too long to earn Mollie’s trust. Haltering, leading, and hoof handling fell into place. Once Mollie was confident enough, she had all the works, hoof and dental care, vaccines, and deworming, and she got a microchip. She also had bloodwork done indicating she was pregnant.
Mila, on the other hand, was the most challenging of the foals. Terrified was an understatement, but once she began to understand, she never turned back. Mila’s confidence grew, and she became one of the more social kids. When she was ready, Mila was dewormed, and had her vaccines and hoof care.
Once their health improved and they overcame their challenges, their beauty shone through. Their transformation in just four months was truly remarkable. Mollie and Mila also got a beautiful gift, and we couldn’t be more grateful. They were adopted together; the two that probably needed to be “together” the most.

SWEENEY & TYLER
Sweeney is a beautiful ~5 year old Arabian mare. She looked like a tick when she arrived. Her midline was round and plump, and she looked miserably pregnant! We wanted her to deliver so she’d get some relief, but at the same time, she wasn’t halterable. Poor girl was suspicious of every move anyone would make when in her bubble. She was a bit of a challenge, and unfortunately, we didn’t have enough time to earn her trust. She arrived at AAE on March 20, and she delivered a sweet little filly on April 8, 2024, not even three weeks later, on Eclipse Day. Sweeney and Tyler’s names were inspired by Eclipse Day. Sunny Sweeney for the obvious, and Bonnie Tyler who sings Total Eclipse of the Heart. (For those that don’t know, AAE horse names are country artist inspired. We have some fun with that!)
Sweeney was a great mom, and a protective mom, so we gave these girls there space while Sweeney adapted to her new role. Fortunately, both seemed very healthy after delivery. She’s young, and we wouldn’t be surprised if Tyler was her first foal. Once they had some time to themselves, we reintroduced human touch, halter and lead, and kind new ways of thinking. Before long, she was accepting a halter, learning to lead, and having her hooves handled.
Sweeney came around slow but sure. Her confidence grew a little every day. Tyler, too, but she was a little toughie. She got so good at hiding behind mom and avoiding humans, but thankfully, we figured her out. Once Sweeney was confident enough, she had her hooves trimmed, and she had dental care, vaccines, and deworming, and she got a microchip. Tyler was dewormed, had her vaccines and hoof care.
These two gals received another incredible gift; they were adopted together and they’ll run off into the sunset, together, forever!

KARLI
Not long after Noah was born, we got another call asking us to take the remaining three mares. The other rescue was unable to take them. There was a fair coming to town, and the horses needed to be moved soon. Oh my! We made another trip to Susanville on April 6, and we brought back the last three girls. They were in better condition.
Karli is a ~3 year old Arabian filly. She’s one of the most beautiful of the bunch! Karli was so scared and reactive when a halter was first introduced, but we took it slow, and her courage showed. She was so brave. She’s so willing as long as you take things slow.
Karli is a very lovely, sensitive lil’ filly and a trainer favorite! She was curious, but so timid when she got to AAE. Slowly but surely, her confidence has grown, and she’s improved so much. She’s good with hoof handling and the farrier, if you take it slow. She’s improving every day. Karli is enjoying pasture life with a herd, and she comes to greet you. She’s been introduced to a saddle pad and surcingle, but that was difficult for her. She was reactive and still needs to grow some more courage before moving forward to fast. She’s really a sweet thing with a ton of potential.
Karli is available for adoption.
Karli is current with dental and hoof care, vaccines, and deworming, and she has a microchip. Her young-hose experienced person will be patient and take things slow to build her confidence so she can take life in stride

NORAH & NOAH
It was March 20 when we brough Norah back to AAE along with 11 other Arabians. Her belly was big, and her udder was full. We knew it wouldn’t be long before she’d be welcoming a foal.
NORAH
Norah is an ~8 year old Arabian mare. We saw her, and we wanted to get her back to AAE asap, but the long drive ahead felt daunting for her. It was dark when we unloaded the trailers, and the next morning we got to work shuffling horses and paddocks. We knew we didn’t have long to get hands on Miss Norah so the vet could handle her should she have problems with delivery.
Thankfully, it didn’t take long for Norah to accept touching and haltering, and it didn’t seem all too foreign to her. The late night and early morning checks began, and in the early hours of her fourth night, March 24, little Miss Noah was born.
Norah was an amazing mom, and Noah’s grown into a beautiful weanling. Mom’s had come challenges along the way. She arrived with a couple old injuries on her hind right leg. One healed, the other hasn’t. She has a golf ball-sized mass on her heel. We’re hoping it’s proud flesh (granulation tissue), but also suspect a sarcoid. See graphic photos here.It needs to be removed now that baby is weaned and fly season has finally slowed down. On top of that, Norah had a mystery injury about a month after arrival. Somehow, she fractured her upper jaw and nearly lost some teeth. Thankfully, Dr Errico at Loomis Basin was able to repair her jaw, and she’s healed well. See graphic photos here. She’ll have her dental next month after waiting about six months for her bone to heal. Once she has her dental, and her mass is removed, that will complete all of the vet care from the Susanville horses. It’s been a long haul! Well, we may have a few pregnant mares delivering foals in the next month or two.
Norah will be available for adoption after her mass is removed and healed. Stay tuned for updates. If you’d like to help with Norah’s veterinary cost, we’d sure appreciate the extra help! Donate for to help with those vet costs here.
NOAH
Noah is an 8-1/2 month old Arabian filly. She is a proud and sassy lil’ one, and she’s a ton of fun!
Noah halters and leads well. She’s very confident and loves to run wth the big girls in the pasture. She’s smart and learns quickly.
Noah is current with hoof care, vaccines, and deworming, and she has a microchip. Noah is available for adoption to a young-horse experienced person. She would love to go home with her pal, Theo, too. Interested? Please submit an Adoption Inquiry.

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. Thank you for saving the two donkeys we stepped up for.
I received a 911 for 20 more donkeys. At the time of the call, they were not bailed, nor did they have a place to go. I was asked if Chilly Pepper would step up if they could get bail covered. I reached out in Faith and said YES!
Now I need help to get them home tomorrow! Please help us make this happen now! Many of the Jennies are PREGNANT! We need them safe and sound at Chilly Pepper!
The majority of the bail was covered, although we helped a tiny bit, so we now we have a grand total of 18 donkeys that need picked up asap!
We need funds asap for hauling, vetting, gelding, and of course to buy them feed. Please help us make this a true Christmas Miracle for these precious souls.
Thank you for every donation, prayer and share. It’s Go Time!

LILA, NIKO, CLAIRE, & COLEY
Lila and her colt, Niko, and Claire and her filly, Coley, came to AAE as part of the first 12 horses in the large seizure group introduced in yesterday’s email. When we initially met this herd, several of the horses were social and enjoyed touching and attention, but once we got everyone back to AAE, none were halterable. It was a bit daunting to realize we had 12, then 15, horses that seemed to know little, if anything, about haltering, leading, or anything but friendly scratches. Touching is important, but it’s also challenging when they’ve learned to avoid the things they dislike.
LILA
Lila is a beautiful ~10 year old Arabian mare. She’s incredibly sweet and affectionate, too. Lila was relatively easy to introduce haltering, leading, and hoof handling. Sadly, she has an old soft tissue injury to her hind leg (very thickened tendon), which will likely limit her riding future. That said, Lila runs with the herd, and she isn’t obviously lame.
Lila is easy to handle, she’s good with the farrier, and she’s good for vet care. She’s easy-going, laid back, and generally a really, really nice mare. So far, she’s been willing to try all we ask, and she’s a quick learner. She enjoys every bit of attention she gets. Due to the old injury and potential pregnancy, we’ve focused on advancing the other horses from this group.
Lila is current with hoof and dental care, vaccines, and deworming, and she has a microchip. Lila is available for adoption as a non-riding companion . Interested? Please submit an Adoption Inquiry.
NIKO
Niko is a yearling Arabian gelding. He is the cutest little man! He was a scrawny and sad little guy when we met him in March, and he was separated from his mom. He and his pal, Coley (below), were definitely impacted by the harsh winter and inadequate nutrition. No doubt mom did her best to feed him to keep him warm.
The scraggly little dude has turned in to a handsome prince. He’s friendly, sweet, and enjoys attention. He’s enjoyed pasture life and gets along with everyone in the herd. He’s good with haltering (best in a small space) with a slow/quiet approach. He’s approachable and will approach in a large pasture, but prefers to focus on his herdmates and playing with the other youngsters. He’s a curious and kind, most of the time. He is a typical mouthy guy that needs an occasional reminder to keep his teeth to himself!
Niko is current with hoof care, vaccines, and deworming, and he has a microchip. Niko is available for adoption to a young-horse experienced person, someone that will take time to develop a trusting relationship, and give his body and joints time to grow. He’s behind in his education after a very rough start. He would love to go home with his pal, Coley. Interested? Please submit an Adoption Inquiry.
CLAIRE
Claire is a ~5 year old Arabian mare, and she came in with her filly, Coley. These are two really pretty girls. When the group arrived at AAE, Claire was one of the most reactive and least trusting. We need to give credit where credit is due. Claire has a new title, Most Improved Mare! Claire was slower to trust and accept haltering, but her confidence is growing, and she’s making tremendous progress. She halters and leads well, she’s good with hoof handling, and she stands quietly for the farrier. She enjoys human interaction so much that now she comes from the pasture to greet you!
Claire is sensitive to new things, and she can be reactive with noises and quick movements, but as her confidence grows, the reactivity is diminishing. She’s curious and willing, and she does best when you take things slow. Though she greets you in the pasture, Claire can still be somewhat challenging to halter in large spaces. She’s been introduced to a saddle pad, surcingle, and a saddle, and she’s handled all fairly well.
Claire is current with hoof and dental care, vaccines, and deworming, and she has a microchip. She is available for adoption to an experienced person with patience and knowledge to grow her confidence and guide her along the way. She will make a nice partner for someone willing to give her the time she needs to continue developing. Interested? Please submit an Adoption Inquiry.
COLEY
Coley is a gorgeous little yearling Arabian filly. When we first met, Coley was as sweet and curious as could be, though everything was on her terms. She was thin and scraggly, too. Her coat was in poor condition and heavily matted, but look at her now! Quite the beautiful transformation. She’s looking good, and she is feeling good, too.
Coley is curious, and she is quite the little character. Her confidence is continuing to grow. She halters and leads well, and she’s good with the farrier. She enjoys herd life with some of the other youngsters, especially Niko.
Coley is current with hoof care, vaccines, and deworming, and she has a microchip. Coley is available for adoption to a young-horse experienced person, someone that will take time to develop a trusting relationship, and give her body and joints time to grow. She’s behind after a very rough start. She would love to go home with her pal, Niko. Interested? Please submit an Adoption Inquiry.

Lots of good news here at Chilly Pepper. I forgot to update our head count after the last 4 were adopted. So it is actually only 21!!! Woohoo
3 More are headed to our sister rescue in Idaho, Dustin Time Rescue. As most of you know, we work together with them often. I DO NEED to raise funds to get the paperwork and coggins on the kids before they leave. I am looking at about $500 for the bloodwork etc. we need.
THIS LEAVES ROOM for the 2 Donkeys I was called to help. Please help me say YES to saving their lives. I have no idea what they look like as of yet. These are just some random pictures of our kids.
As always, we need funds for bail, vetting, transport, feed etc. I am so excited to meet them.
The goats are back from visiting our neighbor, their “Aunt Connie”. They were keeping her company. They are an integral part of our orphan foal program as well as accompanying us to events and being part of our Sunshine & Smiles Program.
Please help us save the Donkeys and raise enough money to get the proper paperwork so the 3 can head to Idaho. There is a tiny chance we might be able to keep Morengo’s family together. EIther way, we will be having more horses heading out, which alleviates some of the stress of purchasing feed, and gives us a chance to keep saving others. Let’s “git er done” and give these kids a great Christmas.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I am thankful for YOU!!
Once again I am reaching out on faith. I am still willing to do the work and fight the fight. I need y’all though, I can’t do it alone and together we rock!
The critters send out a great big “Thank You”
I appreciate all the love and support, and will continue to “git ‘er done” as long as we have the funding.

Wow, I had a big typo in the last email. Truck estimate is $1300 lol. I am very excited that we raised a little over half of what is needed for the truck tomorrow. The quad is funded and ready to go.
I am one day and one triple gate project away from being independent again, and being able to “git ‘er done”.
I take the truck in tomorrow at 7 a.m. Hoping for a miracle and to get the other $800.
Still need to hire some help, but I am SO excited to get the truck done. Whether I am on crutches or not, I will be able to handle the basics. Woohoo!! I will have my independence back.
I have to say knowing I am going to see that doc has given me a new lease on life and more energy.

Last month, we were invited to participate in a once-in-a-lifetime, pinch-us opportunity. We were not able to share any details of the project, where it was, or with whom we were doing it, until NOW!
In the wee hours the morning of our secret project, we loaded a couple of horses in the trailer for an adventure. Despite waffling for days on which horses would go (after all, we have so many beautiful horses….of course, we’re not partial, at all), ultimately, it was Finn and Wylie that begged to make their worldly debut. We enjoyed a spectacular sunrise and many laughs along the way.
We’d never been to Milk Studios before, or any studio for that matter, considering some of us are photophobic! Who would think they’d roll out the red carpet, ergh…a carpet…for us in Hollywood. Oh, right, haha, it was for the horses, not us humans.
Finn and Wylie had never been up stairs before, but they rose to the challenge and tackled those seven steps like they’d done it a hundred times, though Finn wanted Bianca to catch him at the top to carry him across the threshold.
Despite Finn’s drama, Bianca was all smiles. Once inside, the boys thought they were going to get their hair and makeup done, but they were a bit disappointed to hear they’d missed the styling call. Instead, Finn made friends with the photographer, and they had some selfie fun; Wylie rolled his eyes, “oh brother”.
They didn’t understand what all the hustle and bustle was for, and after a while, they were getting a bit impatient. Then, it was show time! The boys knew they were the perfect fit for this photo shoot with their blonde bombshell looks, perfect sense of fashion and style, and obsession with all things sexy and celebrity, even if they can’t speak German. They were extra excited when they realized they were having their photos taken with none other than Jennifer Coolidge for GQ Germany magazine!
Ms. Coolidge is a passionate advocate for animals, and she requested that any animals appearing with her in the photos be from a rescue/sanctuary organization. Knowing that alone made her extra awesome in our eyes, but after we met her, we can tell you just how beautiful and kind she is.
The shoot was published today! You can see the exquisite photos of Jennifer, Finn, Wylie, and the other animals, and read the interview, too! You may need to use a translator tool if you aren’t fluent in German (the magazine is for GQ Germany, after all).
Today, we are sharing the heartwarming adoption story of Myers!
AAE welcomed Myers along with Portia, Maia, and Whiskey last year. We went to pick up Maia and discovered another three in need of help. The horses’ basic care and overall health had been neglected for some time. Myers and Whiskey were stallions who had each been tied to a 15-foot rope attached to a metal stake in the ground, likely for seven years. At that time, we didn’t take in mature stallions due to the difficult challenges they can represent, but we couldn’t leave Myers and Whiskey there. We took Maia and Portia, then returned for the boys after building two stallion paddocks at AAE.
Over the following several months at AAE, the four gained weight, relearned some basic handling and manners, then received the works (dental and hoof care, vaccines, deworming, etc.). Myers and Whiskey were gelded, once they were safely manageable.
Over the summer, Myers found a forever home where he will live a wonderful life – happy, healthy, and surrounded by love. Thank you, Kristina, for making Myers a member of your family!
Stories like Myers’s are a reminder of why we do what we do, and it wouldn’t be possible with the kindness and ongoing dedication of our AAE community! You are part of making these beautiful transformations happen!
Your donations, volunteering, adopting, and social media shares & likes really do make a difference; it’s what makes all of this work possible!
Chilly Pepper needs your help now. Our water spicket is busted, so we have no water until it is fixed. We have weather coming in and we need to hire someone for an immediate and emergency repair. The cost could be hundreds? I am looking to find someone right now. They need to dig down to the existing pipe and make the repairs before the rain and snow get here. The urgency makes it a bit more spendy.
I need some work done on the truck so I am able to push the (nearly 1 ton) bales into where they need to go. THE ESTIMATE IS ABOUT $1500 so far.
As y ‘all know, my leg is still broken and the bones cannot reattach and heal to the prosthetic. So I am permanently walking on a broken leg, until they do the surgery where they replace the tendon, add a patella and replace/add to the Tibia.
As I have about 25 horses at the rescue right now, I need to make sure everything runs as efficiently as possible. Using the big bales saves the rescue so much money and makes it possible for ME to “GIT ‘ER DONE”. I need to get the truck done this week.
Callie is home safe. Thank you!
We need another load of hay asap. The horses are staying warm and toasty with the good feed. During the last delivery, the truck broke down in our driveway. Thankfully the hay was already here. However, it was a great big reminder of how important it is to have hay delivered ahead of time. It will be about $2500 for the next batch.
If you can help with getting our water lines repaired, the truck fixed and a new load of hay, we would really appreciate it. I no longer have the folks staying at our Nevada facility, so I have been scrambling to get things ready for winter as a one person operation. Thankfully my friend and partner in crime lives a few miles away. Danielle is amazing and is my backup and always there if I have an emergency. So even if I hit the ground, she will always step up in the interim.
THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ALL WHO HAVE DONATED! I apologize for the late “thank you’s”. I am scrambling pretty much round the clock to prep for winter. You are so appreciated. Please say a prayer I get the water fixed before it is too wet.

We have reached the matching $1000 funds, paid for the most recent load of hay and Wendy is home. Vet bill in NV is paid, and now we need to get Callie. Sadly the vet bill in WA is still close to $4,000. I’m giving Wendy a few days to decompress and praying she won’t end up needing vet care.
We need $875 to save Callie and cover her transport. She is the 3 year old filly who was headed to slaughter. Let’s save her too!!!!
The horses are eating almost double due to the cold weather, and it seems like it is going to be a tough winter this year. Thank you for your help!

An amazing donor offered to match up to $1000 beginning now, at 8:45 a.m. today. Deadline is fast approaching. Let’s “git ‘er done”
This beautiful mare needs our help now. She is what is known as a “direct ship” if we do not save her. This means she will ship to slaughter if Chilly Pepper does not save her! Will you help us save her? I need to commit asap!
She has been used for “roping practice”. If you look at her legs you can see the injuries from being “tripped”. There are folks who practice “heeling” with wild horses, and others who do what’s called “tripping”. They practice on the plain horses, and the rodeos use fancy horses for the competitions. NOT all rodeos do this, but there are certain groups who are known for it.
I was told, “She is wild as heck, in foal (we believe), and they have been roping her. She doesn’t want to be a people horse at all.”
This mare is terrified and has suffered a great deal of pain. Even when they practice “regular roping”, it means she is chased, terrified and has a loop thrown over her head while she is running in fear, and then she is jerked to a stop. When horses are “tripped”, the WHOLE EVENT is to rope a running, terrified horse by it’s legs and trip it so it crashes to the ground.. She may never recover from the emotional abuse, but definitely does not deserve to be slaughtered on top of all the abuse she has already suffered.
These are the best photos I have, and she is definitely a “long term project”, IF she doesn’t have injuries that would make it impossible for her to have a comfortable life.
It’s hard to tell in the photos, but she is severely underweight and her hips are sunken in. Her unborn baby also needs groceries asap. Please help me save her.
Good news, StarFire, and 2 of the fillies were adopted. Dustin Time Rescue took the 3 boys and Teddy and GG, so we do have room for Wendy. Teamwork makes the dream work.

Doc is coming out today, and it will be close to $1000 to get the horses vetted and ready to cross state lines. The temperatures are dropping like crazy. It is supposed to be about 20 degrees tonight, and all of the horses are eating double from what they ate a week ago. We need hay, and we need it quickly.
We have some pending adoptions, which means we need to get Coggins, Health Certificates and Brand inspections so they can leave the state. This will get the adopted kids off the feed bill, but they cannot leave until we have them vetted.
Please help us raise the $3500 for vetting, coggins, and hay. With the weather ALREADY in the 20’s, it looks like it is going to be a rough year.
We have been running on Faith and Fumes, as always, and I so appreciate any and all help with the much needed hay. As of now I have 2 big bales left, and that will last the rest of this week.
The horses say THANK YOU!
We still have a huge vet bill at Goldendale Veterinary. We didn’t quite cover the costs for setting Stormy free from her pain, and I just trapped the last wild cat “Crazy” and had him neutered. Appreciate any help with the vet bills as well.

Meet the latet kids. They are super sweet, and so happy to be safe and sound at Chilly Pepper. THANK YOU!
Some heartbreaking news. Our beautiful Stormy, the filly with the horribly damaged jaw, was too badly injured to save. Doc had to let her go and end her suffering. We tried to give her a bit of time so we could have as much info as possible, but the bone growth just kept increasing. Both vets agreed that there was zero alternative but to end her pain.
I couldn’t bear to dump her in land fill, so I went out on Faith and we had her buried on a ranch, with the others who have gone before her.
I realize it is expensive, but I have been doing this too long and I simply do not have it in me to dump one of my precious babies in the garbage. I know she wasn’t there, but I wanted to be respectful. I hope y’all support that and will help us with our big vet bills.
Both vet bills are really high. Misty was extremely sick and needed an emergency visit. She needed all sorts of meds and tests, but thankfully she is doing much better now. However, the farm calls are expensive. Just the last geldings, Coggins and meds were $1500 plus in NV. Stormy’s appt, euthanasia and burial was also very expensive. I could feel her suffering, and she deserved so much better. I hate it when I get them too late, to help.
I so appreciate all of my beautiful Chilly Pepper Family. I’m sorry this is so late, but my silly computer is working “sometimes” at random intervals, and honestly I am simply exhausted. My leg is very draining and raising funds and fighting the injuries just takes it out of you. Happily, we still have 26 kids right now who are happy and healthy, and say THANK YOU for letting me order more hay.
We can really use some help to get set for winter. With 27 on site right now, they are eating us out of house and home. Good news – there are some potential adoptions happening. PTL!
