OUR FEATURED SPECIAL NEEDS ANIMALS
Sasha is an elderly Maltese/Shitzu mix. She has back problems, and is blind and partly deaf – though some of us swear that her blindness and deafness is selective. She came to us in 2002, when a local humane society could not find an appropriate home for her and did not want to put her down. She’s a feisty lady. Never nasty, she loves to cuddle and play, but she lives life her way. And she absolutely hates to be groomed. Grooming gets her so stressed that she has actually been known to turn blue. As far as Sasha is concerned, there is no such thing as a bad hair day. Whatever way her hair is is just the way it is, and so, “Go away!” Our staff has to find creative and sneaky ways to do haircuts in small doses. She’s an amazing character who functions so well with whatever senses she has left, that you would hardly know her to be handicapped. Please follow this link for more of his story and the latest update on our Sponsor a Special Needs Animal Page.
Smiley is a Standardbred gelding who is now in his mid to late 20's. Smiley came to the farm in 1997 after a racing career and injuries laid him up. Since his arrival, Smiley has gradually gone blind. First in one eye, then he lost almost all vision in his second eye. Relying on his herd when outside, he is still able to romp, play, and run with his friends in his hillside pasture. Due to his age and his eye problems, Smiley is on several medications and supplements. He is quite a character, and a gentle and brave soul.
