🚨 WE NEED YOUR HELP 🚨

Tonight, Winnie is in the hospital.

A few days ago, we noticed that Winnie was limping. We immediately started pain medication and gave her stall rest, hoping it was something simple that would improve with time. Unfortunately, it didn’t.

This morning, Dr. Sarah came out to perform x-rays, and what we found was devastating.

After consulting with the orthopedic surgeon at the Ontario Veterinary College, we learned that the changes in Winnie’s leg are consistent with one of two possibilities:

💔 A severe joint infection that has progressively degraded the bone
💔 Osteosarcoma (bone cancer)

Neither diagnosis is easy.

Tonight, we made the long journey to Guelph so Winnie can undergo advanced diagnostics. The first step will be determining exactly what is happening inside her joint.

If this is a joint infection, specialists will drain and flush the joint, replace the joint fluid, identify the bacteria involved, and begin targeted treatment. If the bacteria does not respond to treatment, she may be facing amputation.

If this is osteosarcoma, we may be facing a much more difficult road ahead, including the possibility of amputation.

Right now, we don’t have answers. What we do have is a sheep who is still bright, still sweet, and blissfully unaware of how serious things may be.

The estimated cost of diagnostics and treatment is currently between $8,000 and $11,000.

We never allow finances to determine whether an animal receives care, but we need your help.

If you are able, please consider making a donation toward Winnie’s medical expenses. Every dollar helps us continue saying “yes” when the animals need us most.

💛 Donate:

Please also keep Winnie in your thoughts tonight. We know she can feel all the love being sent her way.

We’ll keep everyone updated as we learn more.

💚 A Little Honest Update 💚

One thing that keeps us up at night is seeing our monthly donor numbers slowly decline.

We completely understand that times are tough right now. The cost of living is rising, and many families are having to make difficult decisions. We never take your support for granted.

But the reality is that monthly donors are the foundation that keeps the animals safe, healthy, fed, and receiving the care they deserve.

If you’re already a monthly donor, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your kindness makes everything we do possible.

If you’re not, please consider joining our monthly giving family. No amount is too small. Even $5 a month makes a difference to animals like Russell, who requires daily skin massages to help manage her dermatitis.

Together, small acts of kindness add up to a lifetime of care. Sign up today to show your support:

💚 Une petite mise à jour en toute transparence 💚

L’une des choses qui nous préoccupe le plus en ce moment est de voir le nombre de nos donateurs mensuels diminuer progressivement.

Nous comprenons tout à fait que les temps sont difficiles. Le coût de la vie continue d’augmenter et de nombreuses familles doivent faire des choix difficiles. Sachez que nous ne tenons jamais votre soutien pour acquis.

Mais la réalité est que nos donateurs mensuels constituent la base qui permet aux animaux de rester en sécurité, en bonne santé, bien nourris et de recevoir les soins qu’ils méritent.

Si vous êtes déjà donateur mensuel, merci du fond du cœur. Votre générosité rend tout ce que nous faisons possible.

Si ce n’est pas encore le cas, nous vous invitons à rejoindre notre famille de donateurs mensuels. Aucun montant n’est trop petit. Même 5 $ par mois peuvent faire une différence pour des animaux comme Russell, qui a besoin de massages quotidiens pour aider à gérer sa dermatite.

Ensemble, les petits gestes de bonté se transforment en une vie entière de soins et de compassion. Inscrivez-vous dès aujourd’hui pour démontrer votre soutien :

We all know that Martin and Patricia are the *IT* couple here at GLO, but we are so pleased that Martin and Bailey have also formed a very close bond. When Bailey came with her friends from .qc we weren’t sure who would bond but this is great for them both. 🥰

Nous savons tous que Martin et Patricia sont LE couple IT ici à GLO, mais nous sommes tellement heureux que Martin et Bailey aient aussi développé un lien très fort. Quand Bailey est arrivée avec ses amis de SAFE, nous ne savions pas avec qui elle créerait des affinités, mais c’est merveilleux pour eux deux. 🥰

We have officially entered the season of, “are you OK friend?” when the cattle and other animals get a little too comfortable on nice days. 😅

Nous sommes officiellement entrés dans la saison du : « Est-ce que ça va, mon ami ? » quand les vaches et les autres animaux deviennent un peu trop confortables pendant les belles journées. 😅

IMPORTANT REMINDER

While we care deeply about all animals, GLO Farm Sanctuary is not a wildlife rescue and we are not equipped or licensed to care for injured or orphaned wild animals.

If you find a wild animal in need of help, please contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitation centre as soon as possible. They have the specialized training, facilities, and permits needed to provide proper care.

Find a wildlife rehabilitation centre near you here:

Please do not bring wildlife to the sanctuary without contacting them first.

Thank you for helping wildlife the right way 💛

🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT FROM MARTIN 🚨

We are SO close to bringing the mobile veterinary clinic home for the animals 💛

Thanks to your incredible support, we have raised almost enough to purchase the clinic — we just need $5000 more to officially make it ours.

This is HUGE.

This clinic will completely change what we are able to do for the animals. Instead of facing dangerous hours-long emergency transports, we will finally have access to on-site surgical and diagnostic care right here at the sanctuary.

But purchasing the clinic is only Phase One.

👉 Phase Two is getting it fully set up as a permanent surgical suite here at GLO.

Because we won’t actually be travelling with the trailer, we need to:
• Create a gravel pad for it to sit on
• Build a protective roof over it
• Put it up on blocks
• Insulate and skirt the bottom
• Hardwire electrical and HVAC systems

That phase will cost an additional $20,000 — but first, we HAVE to finish purchasing the clinic itself.

We are begging for your help. Truly.

Please donate if you can. Share this post everywhere. Start a fundraiser. Tell your friends. Every single dollar gets us closer to bringing this life-saving clinic home to the animals who desperately need it. No donation is too small.

https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/glo-farm-sanctuary/

We are SO close. Don’t let this opportunity slip away. 💔🐾

👉 Donate today and help us bring the clinic home.

🚨 STATE OF EMERGENCY DECLARED – HELP 🚨

Our township has officially declared a state of emergency due to severe flooding.

Right now, our road is completely closed. We have no way to get on or off the property.

The animals are safe — but this situation highlights something we’ve been saying all along:

👉 If a medical emergency happened right now, we couldn’t get an animal out.
👉 Help wouldn’t be able to get in.

This is exactly why the mobile veterinary clinic matters so much.

Having an on-site surgical and diagnostic space means that even in situations like this — when roads are washed out and access is cut off — we can still provide lifesaving care right here at the sanctuary.

💔 Emergencies don’t wait for roads to reopen.
💛 The animals are counting on us to be ready.

We are so close, but we still need your help to get there.

https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/glo-farm-sanctuary/

Here’s how you can make a difference right now:
• Donate if you’re able
• Share this post far and wide
• Start a fundraiser of your own

Every single dollar brings us closer to ensuring that no matter what happens — flooding, storms, or isolation — we can always be there for the animals.

Please help us reach our goal. 🙏💛
