Sirus

"An animals's eyes have the power to speak a great language."  By Martin Huber
 
 

In addition to the horses, we have a number of other animals residing at the sanctuary.  These include dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and geese.  Below are listed a few things you may need to know about some of them.
 
Sirus is the Rottweiler-mix that resides inside the farmhouse.  Sirus is the house guard dog and takes her job very seriously.  Visitors and new volunteers should not enter the house unaccompanied by Joanie or a member that Sirus trusts.  She is not good with any of the other animals on the premises and therefore should be on a leash anytime that she is outdoors.

Callie

There are two cats (Callie, and Pumpkin) living outdoors at the sanctuary. Callie is the little calico cat.  She is 16 years old. She likes to be gently petted on her head but do not pat her hips or pick her up.  Pumpkin is the yellow tabby with the white chest.  He likes to climb into open car windows looking for a place to sleep.  Please watch out for them.  Check inside your vehicle if you have left the trunk or any windows open and underneath your car for them before leaving.
 
There are several farm geese and some ducks depending on the season.  They sometimes come up the the barnyard to eat any spilled feed.  Do not attempt to  harm the geese if they act a little aggressive.  Please ask permission before feeding the ducks and geese.
 
The sanctuary is also home to many chickens.  Their job is to kill insects, fleas, ticks, etc.  You may come across some of their eggs.  If you find a nest, please let Joanie or an officer know where it is.  If you would like some of the eggs, please ask before taking them.
