Scrunchkin directing Boxing Day

Ben said, “I’m here too!”

Fabio says he’s just big boned. That tag is rather offensive.

Rikki’s Christmas Day tour has been cancelled.  This weather is just too cold.  I’m sorry, we’ll resume tours and fun when the world warms up !!

Saturday Donation Drop Off will not be staffed until further notice.  There will be a box or truck at the gate where you can leave donations.  I’m sorry we can’t leave the gate open for you to visit animals.  For your and their safety, we must have a docent on site with visitors.

We do hope to see you soon.

Have a wonderful Christmas and all of us wish all of you a very very wonderful New Year !!

Lauren was at Rikki’s Refuge No-Kill Life-Care Sanctuary scrambling in the rain yesterday (she’s there EVERY day!) to get this emergency goat pen put together …..

It’s a temporary fix because these goats needed a home in an emergency.

Two daddys,

two babies.

Where’s mommey?

They were living near train tracks …. goats are notorious escape artists …. they did what goats often do … escaped.

But they didn’t come wandering back home.

Mom was hit by a train. By the time the conductor could see her, it was too late to stop the train. She just looked at the train and didn’t get off the tracks. The guys ran home and back thru the broken fence.

And a new and safe home was needed NOW, with someone loving and kind just like Lauren to bottle feed them and be their mom till they grow up. And here they are at Rikki’s Refuge.

They’re too little to be outside in a pen on a cold and rainy day like this. But they’ll get time to spend with their dad’s when it’s dry and warm. In the meantime, the cats in the 9th Life Retirement, Assisted Living and Psychiatric center will help keep them warm and cared for.

Can YOU help us with these unexpected expenses?
PLEASE?
The emergency pen for quarantine time, which we’ll be able to use for others down the road. Permanent fencing and housing, medical care and neutering, hay, straw, and baby goat formula.
