UPDATE: FOSTER HOME SECURED!
🚨 URGENT HELP NEEDED 🚨
We are reaching out to our local Michigan friends and supporters with an urgent request.
Two miniature horse geldings are being surrendered back to Saving Grace after spending the last 7 years with their adoptive family. This is not a decision being made lightly. Sadly, their adopter lost her husband a few years ago and is now struggling to provide the care they need.
Unfortunately, this comes at an incredibly challenging time for the rescue. We are currently at capacity, and I am scheduled to undergo major ankle revision surgery on June 12th, which will leave me non-weight-bearing for several weeks during recovery.
🏡 What we need most right now is a temporary foster home in MICHIGAN for these boys while we work to construct a shelter at the rescue so they can eventually come here.
Meet the boys:
🐴 Pete – 11-year-old, 33" Sorrel Pinto Gelding
🐴 Checkers – 15-year-old, 34" Leopard Appaloosa Gelding
In order to bring them to the rescue permanently, we will need to build a shelter in one of our pastures as quickly as possible. To make that happen, we are also seeking:
🔨 Donations toward building materials
🔨 Lumber and supplies
🔨 Volunteers willing to help with construction
🔨 Anyone with experience building run-in sheds or pasture shelters
These sweet boys have done nothing wrong. They are simply facing a change in circumstances, and we are committed to making sure they have a safe place to land.
If you can provide a temporary foster home, donate supplies, volunteer your time, or help in any way, please send us a message right away.
Please share this post. We are racing against the clock to find a solution for Pete and Checkers, and every share helps.
