My Happy Place Animal Sanctuary, Inc.

My Happy Place Animal Sanctuary recently stepped up to save this emaciated momma and her foal. She is in poor condition. Both she and her foal have been through not 1 but 2 auctions in less than a week! First they went through an auction in NC. Then they were shipped directly to PA and ran through the auction 2 days later. That's a lot of stress during a heat wave for this starved mom and her very young baby and it has taken a toll. Mom was sick and they both required antibiotics.

They are now here in the Sanctuary, and the real work of rehabilitation has begun. They will be in quarantine for a little while. Mom really needs someone who will take her on a date to the hay buffet! Both she and the baby need a special diet. We are urgently seeking hay and feed sponsors, and well as donations for the many, many veterinary and farrier visits they will require, especially this first year. Please consider a donation of any amount to help them out.

Momma is said to be only 6 years old and her baby is approximately 4-5 weeks old now.

Your gift helps My Happy Place Animal Sanctuary provide medical treatment, rehabilitation, and patient, hands‑on care so this momma and her baby can grow, heal, and feel secure at the Sanctuary .

Every contribution goes directly to their care and supports our broader mission to offer rescued animals a safe, loving home with medical treatment and holistic therapy.

Please choose today to become part of their healing journey. Become one of their Angel donors. They both have a whole life ahead of them. One hundred percent of your donation dollar goes directly to animal care. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit, charitable organization. Your donation is full tax deductible to the extent allowable by law.

Thank you for your support!

My Happy Place Animal Sanctuary, is a registered 501(c)3 volunteer organization dedicated to providing refuge to at-risk animals. We recently rescued and rehabilitated two Shire horses. The Shire horse is the largest of the draft breeds and were once a staple at farms across America.

The Shire horse is on the US Livestock Conservancy Critical List of Endangered Breeds. In an effort to help bring attention to these rare & magnificent animals, we have chosen to honor our fallen heroes from military, police and fire service with a horse-drawn caisson funeral procession.

What Is the Objective of this Campaign?

● To Elevate and Honor our Fallen Heroes;

● To Provide a Memorable Tribute for Families Who have Lost a Loved One;

● To Elevate Awareness of the Shire Horse and Their Endangered Status;

● To Help the Horses Support their Own Future Care through Meaningful Service.

Phase One of our efforts focuses on helping to acquire a practice carriage so the horses can train and continue their rehabilitation. Phase Two will help to fund the second, more ceremonial carriage. This carriage will be used in funeral processions to carry the casket of those men and women who have served in our armed forces, or local law and fire protection to their final resting place. Phase Three will be to raise the funds needed to acquire the necessary transportation vehicles.

The motto of My Happy Place is: "We are all just here to help walk each other home." Our caisson service will include a riderless horse, a horse with a rider carrying a flag, and the Shires will pull the horse-drawn caisson. We hope this service will bring an extra level of honor, respect and comfort to the families in their time of grief. This initiative will also give a sense of purpose and pride to our beautiful Shires.

Our caisson service requires buying a wagon, harnesses and trailer, as well as outfitting the volunteers who will drive, ride and escort the procession. We also need funds to continue providing quality care to our horses.

Won’t you help us to preserve this beautiful breed AND pay tribute to someone who served their community and/or country??

Become a Horse Hero this Holiday Season and help us Save these Shire Siblings!

Shire horses are listed as an ENDANGERED breed by the US Livestock Conservancy. In 1960, the American Shire was nearly EXTINCT, and it is believed there are less than 2000 shires left worldwide!

This BONDED brother and sister are 18 and 20 years old and stand 17-18hh!

They've lived and worked side by side their whole lives as NY carriage horses and simply MUST be rescued and retired together. We only have until December 20 to get them out of the slaughter pipeline! They are currently in PA and we need to raise $5000 to get them safe, vetted and transported to NJ, where they will be loved and spoiled at My Happy Place Animals Sanctuary.

Thank you!

This is Charlie.

Charlie has multiple deep puncture wounds in his neck heading in different directions, a medical emergency requiring stitches, a surgical drain, flushing every 6 hours, three different medications, and round the clock monitoring. Unfortunately, muscle tissue has been damaged. Our biggest concerns are infection and gas gangrene, which sounds as bad as it is. To make matters worse, Charlie is now stuck in a stall (which he doesn't like) and it's been a heat wave.

We are hypothesizing his injuries were sustained from a simple encounter with a stick!
