Today is the LAST DAY to vote for MMFS for a 7 Daysie and Wallace is yelling to run run run!!!

What some of these animals have endured prior to their life at sanctuary is simply incomprehensible. We love to share the sweet & funny moments, but the truth is, the past haunts many of them physically and emotionally.

The money from this grant if we win could do wonders for their medical care. We would be so appreciative if you could take the quick moment to vote 🤍

Many of you guessed Chester, and you were right!
Chester was a goat seized from another farm in Charlotte in 2023 when the welfare of the animals was deeply in question. Chester had such severe foot rot when he came to us he was walking on his knees.
Read more about Chester and his crew later this week in a patreon post!

Hmmm who could this be? Here are some hints:
-He has a rectangular pupil so he's a ruminant
-He has some amazing horns!
-You will find him hanging out with his best friend Willow
Think you know who it is? Leave a guess & we will post the answer later today!

Thank you to our INCREDIBLE CAREGIVERS at The Merrymac Farm Sanctuary for being here each and every day taking care of our wonderful animals. We could not do this without you.

Today is Sanctuary Caregiver Day! 🥳🐒🐓🐎

Whether they're caring for donkeys, chimps or chickens, caregivers are the backbone of sanctuary. Because of them, residents receive

🩺 High-quality care
🥗 Nutritious Food
🧽 Clean homes
🥰 Lots of love

It takes an incredible amount of skill and compassion to provide care as they do, 24/7/365.

From all of us at Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS) , North American Primate Sanctuary Alliance, United Horse Coalition, The Homes for Horses Coalition, and The Open Sanctuary Project - THANK YOU!

It's FAN $5 Friday!
The heat wave has rolled in and our piggies are hot, hot, hot! Here you will find extra-smart Eli catching a breeze.
He says he would really appreciate $5 to buy some more kiddie pools so he can chillax and cool off. Piggies need their "beach" moments, too 😎
