Heidi – Girl Power in the Big Field

This lovely lady is Heidi!

Beautiful Heidi

Beautiful Heidi

Heidi came to live at Rikki’s Refuge in 2016. She and her adoptive brothers –  all steers – came to us from a lovely couple in Virginia who could no longer care for them as their farm was being sold.  Prior to that, Heidi was part of a New York petting zoo dispersal  rescue and she was saved from going right to the slaughterhouse.Heidi cow field grass

In the large field at Rikki’s Refuge, Heidi is the only girl – and seems to know it and is large and in charge!! GIRL POWER!!
She is funny, silly, sometimes rambunctious girl!  We couldn’t imagine life at Rikki’s Refuge without this Heidi of ours!!

Sweet Petey

Look at the adorable smile on Petey’s face. He is a happy, happy resident at Rikki’s Refuge.
Petey goat smile smilingHis life wasn’t always so great ~~ Petey was found as a stray wondering the country lanes. His hooves had not had attention for ages, they had grown up and all around his feet. He was flea and tick infested. After pulling over 100 ticks off, we gave up and had to use chemicals. We didn’t want to because he was so anemic and so weak and passing several kinds of worms too. He was the skinniest goat we have ever seen.
It took over two months to build his strength up and put some weight on him so he could get neutered. And until he was neutered he had to stay in isolation. He might have been too weak to do much … but we feared what he might do if allowed to be with the goat herd !!!!Petey goat
Thanks to YOU and your support, Petey now has goat friends and has learned to trust humans again. Thank you so much for saving poor homeless critters like Petey ….. www.RikkisrRefuge.org/Donate …. every penny is one step in the right direction on the path of saving lives. And we couldn’t do this work without your support!!
