Last Week to Decorate the Angel Acres Tree!

Last week to help Angel Acres' Decorate The Tree! December 19, 2012 - Glenville, PA Our 4th Annual Angel Acres Decorate the Tree Event is in full swing! We have received cards from all over the country! But, we are way behind from where we were last year. Donations to our Tree Event helps us purchase hay for the coming year - our #1 expense - and grain to feed the gang. It helps us provide medical care & tootie care for the horses we rescue. As little as a $1 (even in today's economy) will help horses in dire need of that Holiday Cheer and a renewed life in the years to follow...How do you ask?...By reaching the masses...Many people donating just a little can help us change the lives of many horses in need. Daisy, shown above, is one of the many horses we help each and every day - as you can probably tell from the picture, she is quite a character! YOUR support makes a HUGE difference in the lives of the horses we touch each day, we can't do what we do without you! Please help fill our tree and the bellies of starving and neglected horses this holiday season. Can you help us fill our tree and help horses in need? If you would like to help us decorate our tree & help horses like Daisy, send your card, with your holiday gift of a $1 or more and we will joyously post YOUR first name along with a photo of YOUR Card displayed within one of the many available branches via our daily blog updates! If you would like to do even More...Consider being a Secret Santa for one of the many horses currently being cared for at our facility or asponsor for an incoming horse in need. The average cost to provide vet, farrier & dental care, hay, feed, blankets, etc., runs approximately $2500 annually per horse. Please send your card to us at: Angel Acres PO Box 62 Glenville, PA 17329 THANK YOU for your help & have a super happy Saturday! Jo :o) Angel Acres Horse Haven Rescue, Inc.

All Animals Today for the Angel Acres Tree!

I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to send a card for our tree and include a note to me and the Angel Acres gang...your kind words mean more to us than you will ever know. 

Rescue is usually a pretty thankless, depressing & emotionally draining task; there are plenty of bright moments but those are oftentimes outweighed by the general nature of the job. And in today's super duper busy world - where everyone has a jam packed to do list & limited free time -  these notes mean even so much more to us! 

Big thanks to everyone helping us decorate the Angel Acres Tree!!

Super big thanks to...

Judy from OR

Lynne F from VT - long time Angel Acres sponsor.

Carol, Alex and their feline crew from PA

Yvonne from IL

Anne from MI - who sent the ADORABLE horsey decorated envelope show below.

Lapas (state unknown)

Meris from WA.

Thank you Carmella & Rosemary and William & Carol for starting us off this year (cards on tree below)!

Most importantly though, YOUR donations help horses like J.J. (a completely blind mare that was abandoned with her 45 year (NOT a typo) old companion who is her wingman) shown below, giving me a snuggle last month. You can read their original rescue story here.

Zing, CL Mare Arrives At Angel Acres

Sadly...Zing has lost hers, maybe you can help her find it! On Monday, we shared a Craiglist ad for a mare that needed a home (someone sent it to me, I called owner to make sure she would like it shared, etc), the mare was in very poor shape but apparently this was an improvement over how the owner received her 2 months prior. Photo above left is Zing tied up in front yard of home in CL ad (hauler picked her up today 9-29-12 -she was loose standing in front yard - there is NO fencing ) with what appears to be a dog chain / some sort of wire. Photo on above right is her about 2 hours after arrival at Angel Acres she appears to have lost weight since CL pic was taken.   Photo above left is her in her old home - sometime in past month. Photo above right - me talking quietly to her as she eats her first meal at Angel Acres. We are very familiar with refeeding syndrome and will make sure she is brought back to a good weight slowly. She is approximately 250 - 300 lbs underweight. To make a SUPER long story short, I noticed the CL ad gone a few hours after I shared it and called owner back thinking she had found a home for the mare. I was saddened to learn that shortly after sharing her ad on our FB page she was flooded with nasty emails & calls. In fear for her safety (some of the emails were threatening) she removed the ad. Since I posted the ad to our Facebook Page I now felt responsible for her & decided to bring her into the rescue. What we have learned since she arrived - I am sure there will be more but this is what we know now: She is a 21 year old Appendix (AQHA & Thorougbred cross)...supposed to have had all shots, teeth, etc done...totally NOT the case...she will need to be brought up to date on everything. She is in very poor health, arthritic in the hind, cannot lift feet for farrier & completely blind in right eye. Owner we purchased her from was SEVERELY misled about her and probably should never have purchased her at all. She is SUPER sweet and kind & we hope we can rehab her and she can live whatever time she has left out with diginty and love. If you would like to help sponsor Zing or make a one time donation to her care please visit our donation page at this link Network For Good - or click button below - this mare needs all the help we can give her. Thanks so much for being a part of the gang! Jo Deibel Angel Acres Horse Haven Rescue, Inc. PO Box 62 Glenville, PA 17329
