🏌️ Sponsor Spotlight 🏌️

Today we're shining the spotlight on Walker’s Bike Shop LLC, a loyal supporter of our mission and Event Sponsor for Lazy J's Golf Tournament & Silent Auction: "Fore" the Animals!

Not only has Walker's sponsored this event year after year, but they're also huge animal lovers and proudly sponsor Chris the goat here at the ranch. On World Bicycle Day, it feels especially fitting to celebrate someone who keeps our community rolling while helping animals in need.

Thank you, Walker's Bike Shop, for helping make this fundraiser possible. Your support helps provide food, shelter, vet care, and second chances for the current & future rescued animals who call Lazy J home. ❤️

🐷❤️ It was a great day at the ranch yesterday as we welcomed 5 new volunteers during our volunteer orientation!

Tomorrow marks the start of National Volunteer Week, and it feels like the perfect time to say thank you to the incredible people who donate their time to help us care for the rescued crew. From cleaning barns and pastures to filling water troughs, hauling feed, helping with projects, and making sure the animals have a safe, clean place to call home, our mission simply wouldn't be possible without our volunteers.

Every animal here depends on a team effort, and we're so thankful for the people willing to open their hearts & roll up their sleeves to be part of it. Are you interested in joining the crew? 👇

We have one more volunteer orientation scheduled for Saturday, June 13th, and there likely won't be another orientation for quite some time after that. If you've been thinking about getting involved, now is the time!

Learn more & apply using the 🔗 below so we can review & approve your application before orientation day. We can't wait to meet you! 🐐🐷🐄🐓

⛳🐾 Our sponsors, donors, and volunteers are officially LOCKED IN for the golf tournament, now we just need TEAMS! So, for this Wishlist Wednesday, we’re hoping to fill every last spot on the course! 🤞

We already have 15 teams registered for Lazy J's Golf Tournament & Silent Auction: "Fore" the Animals on June 20th, and spots are filling up as we get closer to tee time. We’re moving toward a max of 27 teams total, so if you’ve been thinking about joining us, now is the time to lock it in. And the clock is ticking because only the first 18 teams registered are guaranteed free swag bags... and thanks to our incredible sponsors, they are packed with some really great surprises! 🎁

This is a 4-person best shot tournament full of games, contests, prizes, and fun happening on all 9 holes. Check-in starts at 9 AM with a shotgun start at 10 AM.

Most importantly, this tournament directly funds everything we do here at the ranch. It helps cover things like specialized, nutritious diets for each animal, quality vet care, animal enrichment activities, safe shelter, mobility devices (braces, prosthetics, wheelchairs), and rescue expenses so we can continue providing a forever home for all animals who have been abused, neglected, or forced to feel unloved... with a special focus on those with complex medical needs and mobility challenges. It’s not just a fun golf outing, every swing truly makes a difference for rescued animals. ❤️

👇 Get your team registered ASAP at the 🔗 below before we announce a final deadline... the clock is ticking!

Apparently this month is PARTY MONTH here at the ranch and the celebration crew is keeping us BUSY. 🎉❤️

🐄 Loretta turned 4
🐢 Tortellini & Linguini are celebrating 2 years at the ranch

Today feels like the perfect day to share this beautiful piece of artwork of our sweet Yzma that was sent to us by Reject Ranch Sanctuary. ❤️

While Memorial Day is first & foremost a time to honor and remember the brave humans who gave their lives in service to our country, it also becomes a day where many of us reflect on the loved ones we carry with us in our hearts, like Yzma.

Yzma was one of those souls that changes you forever. She was handed some incredibly difficult cards in life, yet she faced every challenge with strength, determination, and so much heart. Even though her time with us was far too short, the impact she made on this ranch and on our hearts will last forever.

Focusing on animals with chronic medical needs means our hearts break more often than we’d like… but it also means these animals finally get the love, dignity, patience, and chance they always deserved. And every single goodbye is worth it for the life they got to live while they were here.

As we remember Yzma today, we can’t think of a better way to honor animals like her than continuing forward with building a pasture specifically designed for friends with wheelchairs, prosthetics, mobility challenges, or those who simply need a gentler herd and a softer place to land.

That pasture will exist because animals like Yzma existed. ❤️

As National Volunteer Week comes to a close, we just wanted to give a huge shoutout to the people who keep this place running! ❤️ Our volunteers are a massive part of everything we do here at the ranch, and we truly couldn’t care for this many rescued animals without them.

Our girl Patty isn’t feeling her best. 😫🦚 Patty just started laying eggs this week for the very first time in her life, but her body isn’t quite sure about it. Yesterday, one of her eggs broke inside of her… something that can be painful, exhausting, and very dangerous for birds.

Thankfully our vet was able to walk us through helping her here at the ranch so she didn’t have the added stress of a vet trip… because if you know Patty, you know she is not a people peahen. 😅 So she got herself a warm Epsom salt bath on the deck along with a little lubrication to help the remaining shell pieces pass more smoothly... and thankfully it worked.

She’s still not completely in the clear yet, so we’d appreciate some extra good thoughts for our girl as her body heals and tries to figure things out.

Anyone else spending their weekend giving a peahen an Epsom salt spa treatment in a tote? No? Just another normal weekend at Lazy J Rescue Ranch. Sounds about right. 🤦‍♀️😂
