Wild Hearts Hope Fund
Donation protected
Wild Hearts Rescue Ranch Inc is a state Incorporated non-profit equine and farm animal rescue and sanctuary serving any animal or area within our reach. We take in the abused and neglected and perfect their life, sometimes keeping the most needy cases here for their lifetime at the rescue. We use Adobe Vet Center, cooperate with livestock control and law enforcement in our area, and most often seem to be the only facility able to intake because of our amazing donors. You've never let us down. While Wild Hearts is largely funded by the owner, Jessica Gray and an organization that she has served for many years, our donation requests and fundraising efforts are a sincere need. As any rescuer knows, best laid plans can fall through quickly, and we have experienced some of that at the end of the last couple of years. We are learning to beat the curve. Currently, we have nearly three thousand dollars in veterinary debt, two thousand dollars in debt for hay, pellets and grain, and about fifteen hundred in debt to various professionals who agreed to carry balances for us to get us by this time. An exciting thing is happening in less than 30 days! The future looks very bright for Wild Hearts, but this debt will leave us wanting again by the end of 2017, and this is where we try to beat the snowball effect of rescue debt. Debt is what tanks rescues. We have usually managed to avoid it. Please help us solve part of this problem, and we will solve the rest. A picture of every animal in the rescue and a brief description of why they came to the rescue has been included. We may be a smaller rescue, but we focus on extreme needs, like surgery, severe behavioral rehabilitation, lameness, dental conditions allsorts, and founder or laminitis. This requires more focused care to truly overcome or adequately address these issues. We also feel space and cleanliness are a huge priority. Please consider a donation to this program. With a careful budget and good fundraising in the coming year, Wild Hearts should come out of this stronger than ever. There are over 275 horses that have been helped through this program in the last four years alone. There are over 100 that have been relieved of incurable suffering through humane euthanasia. We have provided owner assistance to people seeking vet care, surgery or feeds to keep.their horses through a trying time to over 100 people. Put your money to work for the horses and farm animals often forgotten in Pima County and surrounding areas. Be a Wild Heart! If all of our followers and supporters donated FIVE bucks, it would be nearly quadruple the amount we actually need to raise. That's how little sacrifice it takes to make a huge difference to animals in need.
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR WILD HEARTS!
This is Spirit. He came in with facial paralysis from nerve damage caused by a halter left on at all times hanging up on something and trashing his nerves on the left side. He almost lost his eye but with care, we were able to save it. In February, the owner of the rescue is covering his nearly three thousand dollar surgery for abdominally retained testicles to be removed, gelding him, and he will be for adoption.
This is Sterling Archer. He was being roped for entertainment by some ole boy and his drinking buddies. Not a good environment for any equine. Now he is ready to be a beloved pet, after he is gelded.
Vanilla Wafer is an older mare who had a companion who was too far neglected to save. We laid her friend to rest and brought Nilla home to wild hearts for a long over due dental and some shade to stand her albino self in. She never had any and was badly sunburned. Nilla is not a very complicated little horse and still has a lot to give a smaller, calm rider.
There are nine potbelly pigs at the rescue because people don't understand pigs as pets, for the most part. We are carefully adopting them out and they are already spayed and neutered to prevent this growing issue in our county of unwanted potbelly pigs. They really are great pets if you educate yourself. They are very expensive to feed when there are NINE of them. We are adopting them out for far less than altering and vaccination costs and they are health certificate ready for out of state adoption and travel.
Seco is a yearling TB/QH who was dumped in the desert as a foal with his dying herd. He was found alone amongst the corpses of his family including his mother. He was emaciated and suffering of a related heart condition. He is almost a year old now is completely recovered. He will remain here as an ambassador for the thousands of dumped horses in our nation every year.
Rooster was placed here by a loving owner to protect him from being exploited for his size, which comes from a genetic disorder called HYPP. He is a permanent resident.
Shine is a grumpy old man of a Morgan who may be here permanently based on his over all attitude. He is great under saddle but can be a booger on the ground without a firm hand to guide him.
This is Lefty. Lefty changed hands one too many times and landed in bad keeping. No one ever got the poor guy a dental. He's only ten, has a great mind and nice feet, is nearly 17 hands tall, and has freshly floated teeth. He is already showing weight gain and after some training, will be ready to adopt.
Lily was rescued by the owner of wild hearts before the program opened. She is a permanent resident and is an ambassador for physically abused, behaviourally challenged and former race horses. She was a sulky racing horse and was repeatedly injured and beaten until she was dumped, changing hands a number of times including at a livestock auction and was collected from a hap-hazzard alleged rescue in the fringes of three points. She has improved so much, but is difficult to care for and near impossible to change her vets, farrier, and daily contact people without destabilizing her into a dangerous mess.
Bonnie was bred repeatedly for her great genetics and disposition, but with little regard to her welfare. She lost value as a breeder and changed hands many times, never recieving good hoof or dental care. She came in exhausted, footsore and in need of help for her terrible teeth. She will remain at the rescue under our care due to the numerous issues she has, which we seem to be able to keep stable with very specific care, until she must be euthanized due to the condition of her hips and an unknown depletion of red blood cells we treat with some combination of suppliments, vet care and good luck. A care regiment compliant foster/hospice home would be a blessing.
Dixie is a middle aged mustang mix who was rescued from people who could no longer care for her. They surrendered before she became disadvantaged and other than a terrible need for dental work, she was none the worse for wear. A little more training, and this young lady will be up for adoption.
This is Crow. Crow was rescued from a man who not only abused and neglected crow in horrific ways, but he had also abused and neglected his own children. Crow had to have surgery to amputate his penis because his abuser had mutilated it. He was emaciated, in need of dental care, and very much in need of emergency surgery to give him a life-saving amputation of his infected penis. He is currently undergoing treatment for a skin cancer on his face which has been successful. He is a permanent Ambassador for abuse and neglect at Wild Hearts.
Many of you know our mascott Emmett. He was rescued from another program and is a permanent ambassador and therapy animal at Wild Hearts.
MIG is an Ahkal Teke, a rare breed from Turkey that is not cheap to acquire. He changed hands so many times in his life, he somehow landed himself in the back yard of a dump of a trailer house in Duncan Arizona, with some people who may have recieved him in terrible condition, or could have even contributed to the condition he was in. Either way, they were good enough to see he was surrendered and he is being treated for severe lameness and a giant maxillo-nasal fistula caused by long nelgected dental issues and poor hoofcare. His diet and care are quite expensive. He is happy and we are able to keep him out of pain. If that ever changes, the gift of love we were able to give him will be finished with one final act of great love, to be set free to cross the rainbow bridge.
