A monumental breakthrough for wild horse preservation is officially underway in Colorado, as The Wild Animal Sanctuary acquires over 22,000 acres of land within the state's northwest sector to build a dedicated refuge exclusively for mustangs. This visionary endeavor offers a sprawling, permanent sanctuary for equines forced off federal public ranges, providing them with an open-space habitat instead of locking them away in short-term holding facilities.
Located close to Craig, Colorado, the massive estate boasts sweeping grasslands, rolling hills, and rugged canyons—an environment purposely chosen to mirror the native ecosystems these horses formerly roamed. By setting aside such a massive, continuous territory, the sanctuary aims to empower these herds to heal fractured family bonds and display their natural instincts, completely free from the stress of overcrowded pens and artificial boundaries.
This venture underscores a massive private-sector contribution toward solving the ongoing debate over wild mustang management across the United States. As free-roaming herds on public lands face escalating challenges from environmental shifts and government roundups, this sanctuary offers a critical alternative. Even though the haven is currently in its early developmental rollout, securing this vast stretch of land marks a powerful stride toward ensuring hundreds of rescued mustangs live out their days with the freedom and dignity they deserve.

**OWNER ASSIST**

Gertie Mae is a sweet, gentle girl looking for a loving home where she can settle in and be spoiled like she deserves. She may start off shy, but once she decides you’re trustworthy, prepare yourself for surprise cuddles and a very committed snuggle buddy.

She currently lives with multiple dogs and basically treats them like mildly annoying coworkers. She’s also lived with cats before and had zero drama — because Gertie prefers peace, quiet, and minding her own business.

Her ideal home would not include tiny sticky humans, but respectful older kids are perfectly acceptable to Her Majesty.

Gertie Mae’s résumé includes:

3 years of life experience
Spayed
Up to date on shots
Not declawed because she enjoys having fingers
Expert-level lounging skills

Located in Brighton, Michigan.
