STAR Rescues Needing New Homes

MIKEY
I'm looking at you with my good eye.  Years ago a 'not so nice horse buddy' kicked me and I lost vision in my right eye.  But that was then and this is now... I have learned to compensate beautifully.  I had a loving family who took really good care of me.  I miss them, but I had to move on.  I'm a 22 year old Quarter horse gelding with a lot of good years left.  I understand reining and just love it!  I'm a big guy, with (if you don't mind my bragging) a great physique.  I may be considered handicapped, but who isn't?  I've learned to adjust to mine, have you?  Maybe you can relate and I will find my new home soon.


DOTTIE . . . Upon arrival
Dottie needed to recuperate from pneumonia and to put on weight before she would be ready for adoption.


DOTTIE . . . Six months later
Dottie is filling out and feeling better.

CANDY . . . Upon arrival
Candy fell into a ravine, survived 5 hours of extracating by caring owners and neighbors.  She felt like she'd been in a car wreck.  Every muscle was in spasm and she couldn't turn her head to the right.  She walked in circles (to the left) for weeks due to vertebral shift.


CANDY . . . Now
Now at STAR, Candy has had 5 professional massages and travels on flat ground, still prefers to turn left, but can look right as well.  Pushing 30, she will live out the rest of her days in "comfort care' at STAR.

KITTENS
Four new babies looking for a home . . . 


LILLIE . . .Upon arrival
Lily is a lovely white face mare who is overcoming the sadness of having been hidden away and 'forgotten' in a barn.


LILLIE . . . Today
She would love to go to her 'forever' home where she will have all the attention she deserves. About 21, she could be ridden by a small person who doesn't expect much from her.  Extremely gentle and kind.
Adoption Fee $300

DOLLY
Dolly came to STAR in April with the help of many friends. Bruce, Eddie and Karen made it happen.  With a body score of 1.5 Dolly now has all the hay, water and minerals she wants plus 3 meals a day.  Having been picked on by her former pasture mates, she is grateful for the peace and quiet and TLC.
