9/27 Update: $220 has been donated. New balance $1018.28 needed. Please support the work Tribe Animal Sanctuary does.

There are a lot of animals we admire and respect. Sasha is right there at the top.

She is a double Merle, born blind and deaf as a result of money-hungry backyard breeders. At barely a month, when they discovered she “wasn’t right” and couldn’t be sold, we took her in. She weighed less than 5lbs.

Less than a week after her initial intake exam, Sasha broke with parvo, survived parvo, captured our hearts and proved to the world, she shouldn’t be under estimated!

Besides being blind and deaf, Sasha is small stature for a Great Dane. We were advised to wait until her 1st heat to have her spayed, giving her time to grow and develop. She had her 1st heat last month.

Yesterday, Sasha underwent spay surgery, gastropexy surgery and dental cleaning. With a discount, Sasha’s vet bill is $1238.28.

We’ve had a crazy amount of vet bills this spring and summer. The sanctuary doesn’t use credit cards as we’ve seen too many rescues and sanctuaries collapse, under credit card debt so our vet bills have to be paid in 30 days or less.

If you appreciate the mission and work we do at Tribe Animal Sanctuary, please consider a donation to help Sasha! Every donation counts!

Tongue 👅 Out Tuesday brought to you by Taylor! ❤️

Taylor crawled from a dumping ground to the edge of a highway in July 2021. Found with 100+ bite wounds covering his body and sepsis setting in, Tribe pulled him from a rural county shelter and rushed him to a veterinary hospital, where he was hospitalized and fought to survive for 10 days.

Today, physical scars covers his body, like a patchwork quilt. He is on 40 mg of fluoxetine daily to manage emotional triggers. One may think he’d be a dog, who feared both humans and other dogs because of his past but you would be wrong. Taylor is a fan favorite because he has never let his past define him and is an excellent example of the amazing forgiving capacity some dogs have.

This photo was taken on Sunday morning, when Tay-Tay accompanied us to pick up a vehicle that had been in the shop. We made a side trip for coffee and a pup treat.

Lindsay is a nurse and once a month, she is Tribe volunteer. Lindsay has been volunteering once a month at Tribe Animal Sanctuary, since November 2020.

If you want to be a part of an incredible volunteer animal care team, Tribe is looking to add a few more volunteers to our team.

Volunteers must be 18 years or older, be comfortable with physical farm labor and able to volunteer 11AM-4PM on a Sunday, of your choosing, once a month, every month, in all kinds of weather. You’ll be paid in animal cuddles, snuggles, licks and wet noses.

Wow! Thank you, Explore Kentucky and article author, Paige Hollister, for the lovely shout out. 🫶🏻🌱

At the sanctuary, surprises aren’t always pleasant. However, this surprise, this morning, warmed our hearts and brought (good) tears to our eyes.

In a world, where critics heavily outweigh encouragers, we deeply appreciate your kind words. Thank you!

Half an hour from downtown Louisville there is a Kentucky farm where rescued cows, pigs, and goats get to grow old, and that is the whole point.

Thank you, Pig Vets Farriers Resources & More.🩷☮️🐷🌱

After soaking Sookie’s hooves twice a day, for 10 days, to draw out the diagnosed abscesses from her tender front hooves, Sookie was still limping so Dr Hanshaw came back out.

She was able to drain one abscess and glued a cow cushion block to the healthy hoof. See 3rd photo. The abscess on the other side is still deep. The hoof is hot and spongy so she knows it is there. Unfortunately, it is too deep to drain yet so she glued another cow cushion block to healthy hoof so the injured hoof isn’t bearing weight.

With 2 cow cushion blocks, we have to keep her feet dry. Even a dry lot is wet when it rains so Sookie is stalled in the main barn, which also means cleaning her stall twice a day, to keep bedding dry.

When TAS rescues an animal, from slaughter, this means their life of freedom begins and our life of diligently working to care for them begins.

If you appreciate what we do at Tribe Animal Sanctuary, please consider a donation towards 2 vet bills for Sookie in 10 days. We can’t do this, without your support. Every donation counts!

Every Tribe dog has a scheduled annual physical exam with a preventative blood and chem panel, which includes 4DX, f***l exam, urinalysis, and preventative blood chem panel, along with vaccines. When our dog vet performs the physical exam, sometimes a dental cleaning is recommended.

A professional dental cleaning by a vet is important to prevent painful gum disease, stop dangerous bacteria from spreading to vital organs, and catch hidden oral pain early. Magellan is 2 years old and had his first dental cleaning on Tuesday, 9/8.

Annual vet care is vital and expensive when caring for as many as Tribe Animal Sanctuary does. If you appreciate what we do at Tribe Animal Sanctuary, please consider a donation towards TAS’ veterinary care fund. We can’t do this, without your support. Every donation counts!
