His remaining ears have fully healed, though we will need to monitor them closely, especially in cold weather (mini cow earmuffs?).

Dexter has a personality with a punch! She’s rowdy and ready to play.

I am a fierce protector of my flock, and I love my gal pals MJ and Izzy.

Care and shelter.

We give each animal in our care the highest possible quality of life with top medical care and enriched, clean and safe living environments.
