My sweet big boy Bubs has crossed the rainbow bridge 💔
My buddy who I had for 12 years. Who has been with me through it all.
Some of you may have met him, he was a special boy. He was my protector, was wary of strangers and I was never scared being alone with him by my side. His favorite things were car rides and bananas.
Saturday night I woke up to him crying and unable to walk. He was in bad shape, I was able to get him in the truck and take him to the nearest clinic that was open 24 hours.
Sometime during the night his stomach had twisted, also known as GDV which can occur suddenly Due to his age and how unstable he was, the vet said he wouldn't survive surgery. Bubs made it to the age of almost 15.
I had to say goodbye to my big guy. 💔

Bubs I hope you are free of pain, running around with no arthritis and eating all the bananas you can.
You were the greatest. Missy has been sleeping in your bed and Lola hasn't left my side. They miss you just as much as I do.
Sleep well sweet boy 💔💔

Hi friends,

You may have noticed that we have been absent online, and wondering what's going on.
Unfortunately we have been going through some major life changes, one of them being divorce.
My dream of giving animals a place to heal has come to and end and is the hardest decision I've ever had to make.
I can no longer keep Arizpe afloat. 💔
I will be moving to a new city and house where I will not be able to care for all our rescues. To be honest I've been running myself into the ground trying to do it the last few years. I am mentally and physically spent, and it's not fair to the rescues or me.
Of course I am taking some of the sweet rescues with me, I am not completely giving up, as they are my heart.
But the new property is much smaller and I can't do it on my own.

We have been working with other amazing rescues and sanctuaries finding my babies a home.
But we still need homes for the cows and our sweet piggies.
If you can help in any way please reach out.

To all of our followers, friends and family, THANK YOU.
THANK YOU for the years of support and love.
We wouldn't have been able to do any of this without you.
Maybe one day , when I'm in a better place I can continue this journey. I will still keep our non profit status as I am taking some rescues with me. Until then our babies still need to eat and vet care to get them to their new homes.

Thank you all again for the love and support. You all are amazing

We have a pretty severe cold front coming.
Time to get ready for the freeze. Our horse herd got their blankets on. These next few days i will be moving rescues around and making sure all shelters are warm and cozy.
We sure could use some help with funding for hay and extra feed.
Our donation links are in bio.
Stay warm everyone ❤️❤️

The beginning of this week we lost our sweet sweet boy Sebastian. 💔
He crossed the rainbow bridge sometime during the night.
What a good boy he was, the pasture is lonely without you sweet guy.
We haven't had any losses for a while, and when something like this unexpectedly happens, we somewhat go into shock, do what we need to do. The grief sets in a while after after my mind has processed it.
Sebastian's previous caregivers have always supported our little sanctuary and we are forever grateful to them.

Seb, I hope you are running around with Rocky and Vic and eating all the snacks.
You will be missed, sleep well sweet boy...

In remembrance of Glenn ❤️
The Turkey who touched so many hearts on his short time on earth.
We hope more of you have chosen a cruelty free thanksgiving this year.

We will go back to our regular posting schedule in the next few days, as we are dealing with the loss of one of our beloved rescues, and another being ill.

We are in desperate need of donations for feed and hay, as donations have been very low lately.

We hope you are all spending the day with loved ones and cherishing your time together.
Happy ThanksLiving friends ❤️
