Adoptions:

From time to time, we've always had to find other homes for some of our rescued Critters.  After all, there's only a finite amount of space here, as well as a finite amount of money.  When our population reached a certain size, we had to reduce it in order to continue to rescue other Critters-in-Need.

Now that Critter Haven has been closed, almost all of the Critters have been adopted.  Only Angus, Minnie, the Codgers and their indoor Critters still need a place to live.

Minerva Winifred, an excellent varmint hunter, needs a new place to live.  She's sweet natured and cuddly, but extremely independent.  Minnie and Angus (see below) are best buddies.

 

Angus Fergus Rufus Dufus Fergil McDuff, a beautiful and conscientious Border Collie, must find a new home.  He's sweet-tempered, biddable, a wonderful watch dog, and diligently protects any Critters in his charge.  Angus loves Minnie (see above).

 

The Fuzzer and I are old and creaky, but we're also cheery, helpful, skilled in many areas, and up for adoption ourselves.

 

 

Below are photos of some of the Critters whom we've served over the years, and who have been adopted by the lovely people of the Tollhouse area.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Update!  The Oscar and Olivia amily has moved to a new home!  Oscar loves being cuddled, having his head kissed, and taking care of his babies.  He and Olivia both enjoy having showers and wading and/or soaking in a creek or pond.  These lovely big birds will be living with some Critter Haven Yaks who were adopted by their new humans a few years ago, as well as a few other Emus and other Critters.  We miss them, but are happy that they'll be loved and nurtured.

 

Huey and Hildegard are beautiful!  They like attention (especially Huey, who likes being kissed on the top of his head), are good watch geese (No one sneaks past a Goose!), and work hard eating ticks and other insect pests.  Hildy's eggs are delicious, and are especially good for baking.  A lovely lady has agreed to take them in, bless her!

 

Our Pekins, Mallards, and Indian Runner Ducks have been providing us with delicious, nutritious eggs for years.  Most of the current Ducks are only a couple of years old, but they've all done their part to keep us fed.

A wonderful family has adopted all of the ducks, and they're now ensconced at their new home.

 

Good News!  Sonia and Koose have found a home together! This is wonderful, as they've never been apart from one another...  Their original family brought them to us after Koose had been attacked by a pit bull.  She recovered, under Sonia's supervision.  They're never far from one another, and would likely not survive if they were sent to separate homes.  Koose also lays lovely eggs.  Once you've baked with Goose eggs, you'll never want to use Chicken eggs again!

 

Tootie, Frannie, Cuddles, and Sasha have all been adopted - together!  They're quiet and friendly, will eat from your hand, and will quickly win your heart.  They're off to Pine Flats, new companions, and many more happy years together.  Now they're gone from here, but not from our hearts.

 

More Good News!  All of the Yaks have been adopted and have moved to their new home.  They now have ponds in which to swim, LOTS of acreage to roam, and a loving human to care for them.

 

Beatrice and Babbette, two lovely and adorable sisters, have found a permanent home.  Like Delilah (see below) they love being groomed and petted.  They're also fond of alfalfa cubes and cob.  We've known them since the day that each was born.  We love them dearly, and are devastated that they're gone, but they'll be happy where they are now, and their new human will take excellent care of them!

 

 

Semi-Good News!  Delilah was adopted with Beatrice and Babbette.  She now has a lovely home, but no longer has her adoptive Dad, Petey.

Delilah is delightful!  We bottle-fed her from the day that she was born, and Petey adopted her.  She and Petey have been together her whole life, so losing him was extremely difficult for her.  However, she was adopted with Beatrice and Babbette, which may help to alleviate some of her anxiety at being separated from Petey (and us).

 

 

Critter Rescues:

If you have or know of a critter who needs to be rescued in our area, we're sorry to say that can no longer help him or her.  Barring a miracle, we'll be homeless ourselves soon, and in no position to help anyone.

Codger Rescues:

If you'd like to help out, we'd welcome any contributions toward our moving and related expenses.

We also need a place to live, so if you have any bright ideas, we'd love to hear them!  Paying rent on a Social Security income is virtually impossible, much less first and last month's rent plus security deposit, etc., etc., as well as moving expenses.

We're looking for a CHEAP (er, um, affordable) house (or a barn with indoor plumbing, or an abandoned warehouse that could be adapted) for the two of us and our remaining Critters.  We're willing to do odd jobs or help out in whatever (legal) way we can to help pay the rent.  We just don't have much money.

Please keep in mind that money isn't the only way to help.  There are several things that we REALLY need on our Wish List.
