Sunny-the-rooster watched him for a while and then dug himself a hole in straw in the goat stall, stretched out and tried the breakfast in bed thing himself. What a goof.Sonny is Mr. Personality. He is such a character and so social. He runs 40 miles a shift following us around from chore to chore, [...]
It was so gorgeous at the farm the other morning; sun, warm, no wind. The animals were all just sucking up the nice weather and lazing around in the sun beams. When it came to lazing though, Thor took it to the extreme. He decided to lay down and eat his breakfast. Breakfast in bed. The funniest [...]
It’s not difficult to take an adorable picture of Toby when he’s across the stall and doesn’t realize you’re there. But the minute he sees you, he heads in your direction out of curiosity and an intense desire to kiss you and be snuggled.Here he comes.“Hi Whatchoogutder? Camera? Come close! I geeve you good close up”.(Seriously! [...]

Valentine’s Day is less than a week away, and love is in the air at Heartland Farm Sanctuary. Clark, Anna, Cherish, and all the other Heartland animals want to show how much they appreciate your love and generosity by offering to hand- (hoof?) deliver some delicious chocolate and a framed certificate to your special someone, [...]
This morning at the farm, we took Anna and Cherish down to the big back pasture for the first time. They had previously been in a small yard off the side of the barn that would shelter them a little better and confine them a bit while they healed and gained strength. It was a [...]
Today’s entry is a little update on Cherish and Anna. These two came to us suffering from SEVERE neglect. Cherish, the horse, had broken her hip and been discarded and nearly starved to death. Anna the mule was also starving, on top of being kept in a too small enclosure that wasn’t tall enough for her to fully [...]
I got to the barn last night and went in the water room to check on the cat, Miss Leroy, first. I worry about her; she’s such a sweety but is deaf and getting up in years so I always pop my head in her ‘bedroom’ and make sure she’s OK. She was there alright. She [...]
I worked every day of my Christmas break at the farm since I couldn’t get home to Maine this year and volunteers who live around here have families and stuff. It wasn’t hard to go every day since Santa brought us this little present. This is 4 week old Tobias Valentino (Valentino for the heart [...]
Now that the rush of Thanksgiving is behind us, I want to give you a full update on our newest rescues, Cherish and Anna. Many of you have followed their rescue on our website or at our Facebook page. For those new to this story, Heartland brought home Cherish, a 1 year old horse, and [...]
Had another first to mark off my life list today: prepared Thanksgiving dinner for the turkeys at the barn. That’s right. Thanksgiving FOR the turkeys! I was surprised at how like a human Thanksgiving it was… The feast was prepared by cutting up acorn squash and filled them with yummy things like pumpkin puree, cranberry sauce, [...]
