Horses Are Our Thing—But These Dogs Needed Us

The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue: MEET HARLEY & QUINN Last week, during a routine trip from our barn in Pilot Hill to our used tack store in Shingle Springs via Hwy 49, something very un-routine happened—two lil' creatures were spotted on the highway in the distance. First thought, they looked like bear cubs. As they came into better view, it became more obvious they were dogs, now along the side of the road. We couldn’t leave them there, especially not in that condition. It was after normal work hours, and it wasn't something any of us would be able to drive past and ignore (though dozens of vehicles did). After pulling onto the large shoulder area, ...

Chilly Pepper & the Critters Need Your Help!

The following is from Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang: Hi, I know it has been a while since my last update. It has been non-stop crazy as always. Doc agreed to come out and start vetting the latest 10, even though the bill was not paid. We ended up with a $2211 bill and by the grace of God, one of our Angels called and paid the whole thing. Since then, we have incurred another vet bill for our beautiful Angel. Angel came in with Sampson and a few others last January. She was emaciated and extremely sore. She ended up getting pretty sick after we got her and slowly started gaining weight. Sadly, she also came in with both hips having ...

Double the Joy! TWO Friends Find Their Forever Home, Together!

The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue: LILLIE MAE & LAINEY! .  An adoption story is always special—but when two friends find a home together, it’s truly the best kind of happy ending and new beginning. LILLIE MAE Lillie Mae is an estimated 12-year old BLM jenny who came to AAE in December 2023 after being spotted at auction by another organization. Concerned about her painful-looking hooves and the risk of her ending up in the wrong hands and not getting the help she needed, the organization stepped in. Their supporters covered her auction fees and part of her transport, helping get her to safety. They shared photos of her on Facebook, and we offered her a place ...
