RMR News - Over 1,100 Animals in Need of Homes

As it seems word doesn't not always spread fast.....

The Montana Large Animal Sanctuary outside of Hot springs Mt is closing.

There are over 1,100 animals.

I just got off sight there after 5 days of doing inventory getting, hay to them and 400 other tasks.

Yesterday I had 3 trailers and we went and picked up 31 head of mini donkeys and burrows. Their feet are in horrendous shape I'm not even sure if that word says it all but anyway, they are here by me and a team of vets and shoers are coming this week to get started on a hard project.

So If you have any people on your list or in your mind that would like to adopt at no fee but must be approved by everyone short of "God" and he may be included, then please let me know asap.

These animals are NOT to be euth. unless medically necessary in the future, or bred.

A sample list of what we have is.

HUGE pot bellied pigs

over 110 horses

Over 700 llamas

geese

chickens

emus

sheep

donkeys

cattle

I will trying to post some general pics on the montanaanimalcareassociation.org website in the next few days.

Moving animals out of state is much more complicated than in state so please pass the word around.

Also if we get folks wanting to adopt who live in your area, I'll be calling to see what you know of them and possible check out their place as the LAST thing we need is a rescued animal going into a bad situation.

Thanks So Much

Phyllis Ruana
