Baaaa-ck to school at city goat farm! 🍁✏️🚌 #farmsanctuary #goatfarm #goat #animalrescue

Fun visit from Julieanne and her nieces Kate-Lyn and Brie-ann this weekend! We've mentioned Julieanne before, who took care of – and eventually found homes for – dozens of neglected goats and sheep in her neighborhood. Her nieces even helped care for some of our residents since they were born! Julieanne has taken so much responsibility for the lifelong well-being of everyone from the Brown Road Herd, and they love when she comes to visit! 💕 #farmrescue #farmsanctuary #farmanimals #friendsnotfood

💕 Thank you! 💕 We are overwhelmed by gratitude for everyone who supported us over the last week. Whether you pumped water out of our barn or shared/contributed to our recovery, we are so thankful for you! Today we had a local excavation and drainage come out and help come up with a plan to permanently lower the water level near the barn. We don't know how much the entire project will cost, but this approach should have a major impact immediately. Between our Facebook/Instagram fundraisers and other donations that have come in offline, we are almost at our short-term goal of $1,000! 💰 If you haven't contributed, please know that any gift makes real difference to us. We have extremely low overhead costs and are entirely volunteer-run, so contributions go straight to our 30+ residents. P.S. Enjoy this photo of the turkeys supervising JC as we worked on improving drainage last weekend! 🦃 #fundraiser #animalrescue #farmrescue #animalsanctuary #farmsanctuary #friendsnotfood

Phew… It's been a rough week. The storms along the Atlantic swept inland to our little farm and dumped everything they had, overwhelming our well, shorting out our sump pump, and flooding the barn. So so grateful to the Charlton Fire Department for pumping out an incredible volume of water and keeping everyone safe. There's a lot to do. Even with a relatively dry barn now (and a fancy barn fan on loan), the impact of this kind of flooding can cause long-term problems ranging from hoof rot to mold to rodent issues. We need a new, better sump pump ASAP, and need to continue our excavation and drainage work (time to call in the professionals). We could really use your help as we try to bounce back from this setback and prepare for increasingly unpredictable weather conditions. These animals have already been through so much. Please ensure they stay safe in our sanctuary by making a donation this week to help us tackle this newest challenge. Thank you for caring. 💕🐐 #farmrescue #farmsanctuary #fundraiser #animalrescue #emergencyfund
