Ruby, who was rescued in 2015, has been struggling with an arthritis issue for a while now and despite a custom brace it was not getting any better. It was clear she was still uncomfortable and at risk for a major fracture.

If you’re a vegan and know any non-vegans with even a slightly open mind, take them to spend a day at a farmed animal sanctuary. Let them meet the animals, who have names just like a dog or cat with whom they may share their homes, and see them as individuals with personalities. It can change hearts

We asked the care team if Chris and Ralphie are getting close or if Ralphie is just harassing Chris and she’s tolerating it. The answer was “yes to both” 😂 Ralphie is persistent!

Caregiver Annastasia caught Dani being very vocal, one of her favorite things to do. Dani was rescued from turkey farming in 2015 and is currently the eldest turkey here at the Sanctuary.

Linda, Cannonball, and Celeste have really been getting serious about queuing for the veggie fridge. Who will open it for them though??

Maybelle is not going to let her age or the weather stop her from a walk! While she has a cozy barn to return to, cows also don't like to be shut in for too long.

Millions of chicken wings get eaten every year during the Super Bowl…but what does it look like when these birds get to actually live their lives?

Anyone have any contacts at @bonterratech.bsky.social ? We are a client and we have been trying to get access to a function for months and can’t get a reply from them :/ We don’t have a client representative or even an email for support. It’s so frustrating!

Also seems like a good time to remind folks...we could use your old cars! A lot of the ones we use on site for rescued animal care are on their last wheels. Your old car could make a huge difference here! Please share if you can!

Here is a kiss from Marge while we spend the day DIGGING! The amount of snow we got was unbelievable and it’s taking all hands to clear paths so the animals can continue getting the care they need! Thank you to everyone sending support ❤️❤️❤️

This huge snowstorm just started 🌨️ We have been up for hours caring for hundreds of rescued animals as Winter Storm Fern bears down. Not as cute as our resident senior goat Fern, and WAY more dangerous. You can help: send support at 🔗 in bio or on Venmo @ Woodstock-Sanctuary

Maybelle update & upcoming storm info!! Any support appreciated during the weather emergency: we are Woodstock-Sanctuary on Venmo ❤️❤️❤️

We are so appreciative of all our volunteers coming to clean ahead of the winter storm, and will definitely need more hands on deck once it’s blown through! Volunteer today: woodstocksanctuary.o...

Thank you for sending Maybelle so much love ❤️❤️❤️ She is staying cozy

Someone asked about it Waldo recently, so here is a little update! This guy is so brave.

Yesterday was busy and stressful: we began morning shifts and found senior cow Maybelle in the barn on her side, unable to get up. We immediately got to work repositioning her & administering laser therapy. It was an extremely cold morning and we stayed with her for hours. 1/6

Every time a situation like this comes up and humans start saying “nonhuman animals might be smarter than we thought” folks in animal rescue have to laugh. We already knew!!
