Some stories are worth sharing. Not because they are ground shifting, but because they are darn good reminders. I do wildlife rehab on the side. Turtles, squirrels, raccoons, rabbits, birds, and so much more! As a representative of the Serengeti Foundation, I volunteer alongside multiple Veterinary and wildlife groups, and SF has become well-known for […]
Change Of Plans
I tried to write this yesterday, but I couldn’t find my words. Today, I’m struggling with it too. I do most of the PR for our team. I deal with the people, I answer the questions, I handle fundraising, and I get to read a lot of positivity. I also take the heat. I’m the […]
Simple Pleasures…
It’s Self Isolation Day…I’ve lost count. Day 35?? I’m not totally sure. Just like you, members of our team are struggling to find a new ‘normal’. One of the positive things about this stay at home order is it has provided dedicated time to log details, locations, and land changes for some exciting new projects […]
“What do you do with the body?”
We’ve received the same theme of questions a few times this week, so I thought I’d write about it here. ‘What do you do with the body? Have you had any deaths? What if you need Vet or have to euthanize? ‘ Those are all great questions! Let’s break it down. “What do you do […]
A Year Ago Today
Happy Birthday, New Moon! It was a year ago today that we discovered a new life at our wild horse sanctuary. Gemma, an eight-year-old mare who had been recently captured from Muddy Creek, UT surprised us with her birth. Gemma was already pregnant when she endured the several mile helicopter chase, but we didn’t know […]
Horse Powered
I took this clip months ago. At the time, it didn’t seem worth sharing. It was shakey, windy, and nothing special had happened. Like thousands of other clips, it was left on the laptop to sit. Yesterday, however, I stumbled upon it again. After seeing it with fresh eyes I was struck by a simple […]
All The Pretty Horses
There is no truer beauty that a herd of wild horses, but what about all those brands? Who did it and what to do they mean? Here’s a crash course on the BLM signalment, and what you can tell with a quick glance. The Neck Brand Once a wild horse or burro is removed by […]
If you build it, they will come.
“If you build it, they will come” It’s a line that’s stuck with me since childhood. I’m not going to lie, scenes like this make me a little bit misty. We have a friend; A beaver, in the desert. One of North America’s most prosecuted animals has come to help us protect and restore this […]
The Parker Project
Yesterday the world got a little bit darker. We lost a dear friend, Dr. Kerry Parker, though our friendship was younger than we would’ve liked. Dr. Parker, affectionately knowing as “P” left this world yesterday afternoon. She was the lead Veterinarian and spay & neuter master for Soul Dog Rescue. I spent many weekends volunteering […]
Jasmine, Forever in Our Hearts
With a heavy heart and tremendous respect, we solemly share the passing of Jasmine. We debated whether or not to share this story, but ultimately decided that her life and the details of her passing could serve a greater purpose. A little disclaimer: This is a long post and not everyone is going to like it. […]
