My supervisors are cuter than yours!

Nothing cures the Mondays faster than being watched by these adorable faces.

Is it productive to have this much adorableness watching you work?

No, no it's not.
Treat breaks?
So. Many. Treat. Breaks.

A day of more projects.

We removed the old pallets the dogs walk on to go from their inside space to their outside runs. To keep the rats from being able to tunnel under the pallets we dug down about 6 inches, added some pea stone and used the Trex boards to build a new clean walkway. It's an ongoing project as there are a lot of runs to complete.

We also replaced some gates around the big building. The ice from the roof had pushed the fencing back so the gates no longer worked correctly. We took down the bent unusable gates and replaced them with shorter gates so the ice would no longer hit them off the roof. Linda also won't have to crawl through the dog doors anymore. 🤦😅

Tis' the season... Maybe a little early but it is for a good cause!

The sanctuary would like to do a toy drive for kids/families in need this holiday season. Once we are done collecting toys, up until December 12th we will deliver to organizations who have programs that help families in need.

We will have drop off boxes at Boondocks, Foothills Vet (boonville countyside), Boonville Tractor Supply and The walk-in closet in Barneveld. I (Amber) also live in croghan and go through lowville regularly so I can pick up in either location if needed.

We do ask that items are new in the package or NWT. It can be toys, clothing items and gift cards up to age 17.

We want to make a difference to the community who has supported us and stepped up to help us so much the last several years.

If you have any questions please reach out!!!

🐾 A Heartfelt Thank You! 🐾

We would like to send a very special thank you to Dan Lee Trucking and the Town of Boonville for their kindness and generosity in helping Spirit Animal Sanctuary with a load of pea stone.

This wonderful gesture means more to us than you may realize. The pea stone will help us make our dog runs and horse stall safer and more comfortable for the animals who depend on us every day. 🐶🐴

Caring for so many animals comes with its challenges, and having people in our community who are willing to lend a helping hand truly warms our hearts.

It’s acts of kindness like this that remind us how fortunate we are to be surrounded by such caring and generous people. ❤️

From all of us at Spirit Animal Sanctuary, and especially from our four-legged residents, thank you for thinking of us and helping us make their home a little better! 🐕🐾

Ok Reiku... You win

Last week he dug through Porters run into Kobes.
Yesterday he made it into McGruff's despite our efforts to keep him contained for the night in his own kennel, he again made it into McGruff's space.
They played, didn't mind each other with their food so we realized Reiku won't stop until he has a permanent roomie.

He won and now Rieku and McGruff can keep each other entertained. McGruff can maybe lose a few pounds in the process.

Forget the boring work posts...

These are the updates we love to share!!!

Kobe had his meet and greet for his potential home placement tonight.

It went AMAZING 🥰😍

He will come back to the sanctuary for the rest of the week and this weekend he gets to go to a HOME!!!

Surprise, surprise.
Another hole...

Surprise, surprise
Another day of fence repair.... 😒

We also need to repair the part of the dogs outside run right outside of their doggie doors. In many of the runs pallets were used as a "walkway". These are rotting out and some have caved in creating an unsafe space for the dogs. We are going to use some trex board we found around the property to repair the rotten pallets.

Today we started with Chester's space as this was the worst one. Of course I forgot to take the before photos.

Also Delilah was full of p**s and vinegar today. 🥴

Today was yet again full of fence repair.

A big thank you to Judy Scatko, Rose Fort and her husband Bob for their help today!

There was also the task of getting water to Sterling and Kenny... They hate me. Maybe not Kenny but Sterling does. Kenny has been taking the water bucket outside and chewing it to pieces. 7 buckets in a week, and yes they had water in them at the time these robberies occurred. When Heather or I lower anything into their kennel Sterling grabs it and DOES NOT LET GO. Ripping it from us and taking it outside. So getting a new bucket of water into the kennel was going to be a challenge.
Linda had recently built a box to put the bucket inside with strips covering the edges of the bucket, it worked for a while but he got it out at the beginning of the week. She made adjustments to the box and all was well. Until this morning. I go to feed and the bucket is gone. I should have videoed the process I went through to get water into their kennel. Hopefully the new metal bucket works, all that and Sterling still hates me 🫤🤷🤦. ...

Want to make some extra money?

Ya?

So do we...😒

But now that we have your attention.

Gigi would like to file a formal complaint.
She is quite upset that her escape routes have been sealed and her hard work did in fact not pay off for her.

She can be seen here pouting after her final route was buried, covered in a heavy fencing panel, three tractor tires and now has a very long chain wrapped around the gate a bazillion times.

But maybe she's watching the whole thing calmly laughing to herself thinking "it's on now bi***es." 🤷🤦🫤

Howard may have a big attitude packed in this tiny little body but when it comes to his grooming appointment, he don't play.

Howard is the utmost gentleman and takes these appointments as if he was a literal king being doted on by his loyal servants.

At times he even begins to fall asleep, proof that he can be the perfect gentleman, as long as it's serving him 😆🤣.

Thank you Mud Life Spaw for pampering this pooch and Penny Kranbuhl for setting it up and chauffeuring our little prince.
