🐴 AUGUST’S ANGELS 🪽
Little August made it through his journey to surgery — and he did so incredibly well. ❤️
But he didn’t get there alone.
From the moment this little Belgian stepped into our lives, there has been an extraordinary chain of people who have wrapped themselves around him and helped carry him toward this chance at a healthy future.
🪽 Angel of Transport — Laura Dennis,
Thank you for getting our boy safely and comfortably to his surgeon and bringing such patience, kindness, and care to every mile of his journey.
🪽 Angel of Evaluation and Direction — Dr. Kaylee Leydens, Northwest Equine
Thank you for being one of the first people to truly see what August needed. You initially evaluated him, helped point us toward the proper surgeon, and worked to get him healthy and strong enough to travel for the procedure that could change his life. Your knowledge, compassion, and guidance helped set this entire journey in motion.
🪽 Angels of Healing — Dr. Lillich, Central Washington Equine Hospital, and his incredible team. Thank you for giving August your expertise, your hands, your time, and your very best chance at straighter, stronger legs and the life waiting for him on the other side of this.
🪽 Angel Polly McAllister.
Thank you for providing August’s corrective hoof trim before his procedure so his surgeon could work with the most accurate alignment possible.
🪽 Angel Amanda.
Thank you for the gentle, comforting massages in the weeks leading up to surgery — helping his tired little body relax, rest, and be as strong as possible for the big day.
🪽 Angels Shirley & Staci.
Thank you for helping Farmer Don hold down the fort while Farmer Grace was away with August. Caring for one animal means making sure every animal waiting back home is cared for, too.
🪽 Angel Corisa.
Thank you for helping advise and coordinate the sanctuary in the face of these complex cases. Your guidance, care, and steady support have helped us navigate August’s journey and make sure he received the attention and care he needed.
And then there are ALL OF YOU.
Every person who donated. Every person who shared his story. Every new follower who joined his journey. Every person who prayed, hoped, encouraged us, checked on him, or poured every ounce of love they had into this little c**t and his journey.
That love was never simple. It was powerful. It carried August through the hardest miles, surrounded him when he needed hope, and helped bring him to the care that could give him a future.
YOU DID THIS. ❤️
A little c**t who was once headed toward an uncertain future made it all the way to a surgeon because a community decided his life mattered.
This is what happens when people come together.
This is what compassion can do.
This is what it means to be one of August’s Angels. 🪽
Now we have one more job.
Let’s get little August to the finish line — healed, strong, and finally out where he belongs with the big herd. 🐴❤️
From August, Farmer Grace, Farmer Don, and everyone at Briscot Farm & Sanctuary:
Thank you for carrying him this far. Now let’s carry him home. ❤️
