Raymond

Raymond has been Adopted!

Raymond is a standard donkey who was born in approximately 2017. Raymond was surrendered to us as intact jack from a May 2021 McLeod County humane case through Minnesota Federated Humane Societies by an owner who had too many animals and needed assistance. He has now been gelded and he is friendly but still a little cautious with handling. He has badly neglected hooves and has required some special farrier care to get them back in shape. Raymond would love to find a new home.

 

 

Mini Molly (Molly has been Adopted!)

Update July 2121: Molly has been adopted by her foster home!

Molly is a miniature mare (approximately 36″) who came to us in May 2021 from a Freeborn County humane case through MN Federated Humane Societies. She had been running loose for quite awhile with her owner unable to catch her. She was in desperate need of farrier care and veterinary care. Her hooves have now been trimmed and we are pleased to say she is not showing signs of laminitis at this point. Her foster home says she is already beginning to trust people as well. She will need some more recovery time before she is available for adoption so we can be certain there will be no ongoing lameness issues. Watch for updates!

Carter (Adopted)

Carter is a larger pony (approximately 18 years old, 14hh) who came in as a stallion on 04/26/21 from a Carlton County humane case. He was living in horrible conditions with no turnout whatsoever. We want to thank Investigator Oquist from the Animal Humane Society of MN for assistance in this case. We also want to thank everyone at Anoka Equine Veterinary Services for their care and for the “makeover” Carter received. He has now had a dental float (he had some extremely sharp, painful points–see photo) and he has been gelded. he is putting weight on nicely and will soon go for a training assessment.

Update October 2021: Carter started training with Sarah Helms of Step Up Horsemanship but on her recommendation we pulled him out of training so he could continue to gain strength and muscle tone. As of February 2022, he has not been back under saddle but he is doing well and could certainly continue his training!

Storm (Storm has been Adopted!)


Update 06/24/21: Storm has been ADOPTED!

Appaloosa mare Storm came into our program the last week of April 2021. Her owner was tragically killed in a car accident, leaving Star with nowhere to go. This is a sad and important reminder to everyone to make sure they have a plan in place for their animals and to leave instructions with a trusted friend or family member in case of emergency. We were glad to be able to give Storm a safe place to go. She’s a nice mare who was foaled in 2007 and who stands approximately 14.3hh. As of May 2021 Storm is in training with Sarah Lemke at Step Up Horsemanship. Sarah reports that though it appears Storm may have been saddled and backed previously, she doesn’t seem to have had any work beyond that. Watch for updates as Sarah continues her training!
