With her first puppy delivered at 3p yesterday and the last one at 1a this morning, we have one very tired Hazel dog with 12 healthy puppies.

Winter at the sanctuary is quieter on the surface. Slower mornings, longer nights, breath hanging in the air. But it is also when the most essential work happens.

From now through the end of May, hundreds of animals here rely on one simple thing every single day to stay warm, healthy, and fed: hay.

Hay is not flashy. It does not come with a big reveal or a ribbon cutting. It is the steady foundation of winter care, filling bellies, generating body heat, supporting digestion, and keeping animals well through the coldest months.

Our hay costs average about $11,000 per month through winter and early spring, with January’s payment now due. To carry us through this entire season, we are working toward a $60,000 winter hay fund. Reaching this goal ensures that our supplier can continue setting aside hay for us and that we will not face shortages as winter stretches on. It also gives our caretakers peace of mind, allowing us to focus fully on the daily work of care without constant uncertainty around this one essential need.

In this photo is Gandolf, one of our water buffalo, watching the sunset as winter settles in. A quiet moment made possible by the most ordinary and essential kind of care.

In most years, we are required to raise a large deposit up front. This year, our hay supplier has shown us extraordinary trust by allowing us to pay month to month. It is a kindness we take seriously and are committed to honoring.

Giving toward our winter hay fund is not responding to a crisis. It is helping us keep a promise that every animal here will be fed, warm, and secure through winter, no matter what.

If you are able to give, thank you. If you are not, sharing this post truly helps. This is how quiet, essential needs get met together.

!! ADOPTED !!
Woof, I’m Butch. I’m a 4-year old, neutered male Beagle mix weighing 43lbs. I was transferred here from a shelter in Pampa, Texas to have a better shot at finding my forever family! I’m the perfect size for every adventure, with a big personality and classic beagle bark. While I do enjoy the occasional zoomie and get very excited to see my people, if you love on me a little bit my soft and snuggly side comes out quickly. I’m affectionate and tend to nibble on my favorite humans, but I promise I’m super gentle about it! I also really love to play with toys and play tug with my people too. Please come and meet me, I guarantee you’ll fall in love.

✨ Please Don’t Forget About Callie ✨

Callie is easy to pass by if you’re only looking for the bold, instantly outgoing dogs. She’s shy at first, careful with new people and new situations — but she is so worth the wait.

Once Callie feels safe, her walls come down and her silly side comes out to play. She bounces, she smiles, and she shows off the joyful, goofy girl she’s been holding inside. It’s a beautiful thing to witness — the moment trust turns into happiness.

If you look into Callie’s eyes, you’ll see stories and wisdom far beyond her years. They hint at a life full of experiences we’ll never fully know, but also at a heart that still believes in love, even after everything.

Callie needs someone patient and kind, someone who understands that the best bonds aren’t rushed. In return, she’ll give you loyalty, devotion, and the quiet kind of love that runs deep and lasts forever.

Please don’t forget about Callie. She’s been waiting — and she’s ready to finally be chosen. 💛
