Emergency Goat Rescue

We just rescued 6 goats from severe abuse and neglect. They are all riddled with lice, parasites and ringworm, have eye infections, are malnourished, emaciated and are terrified of humans. The task of healing their bodies will be great, but of healing their hearts, enormous! We have a lot of work ahead of us to get them healthy, happy and trusting. Any donations are greatly appreciated! Please click here to donate.

Emergency Calf Rescue

At a cattle ranch in California there was a mom and baby calf. The mom died of unknown causes and the baby was found trying to fend for himself. Another mom cow and her baby kind of took him in and adopted him. Then the other mom fell in a ravine and died also, leaving both babies orphaned, the first baby orphaned for the second time!

They are now safely living at The Gentle Barn. We are treating them for a skin fungus and we are teaching them to trust humans.

As usual, we can’t do this without your financial support! Please donate towards their rescue, healing, rehabilitation and care. They have lost their moms, but we can be the village that will raise these babies and show them love!

Emergency Starving Goat Rescue

We found out about a local backyard butcher and went to investigate. The first thing we noticed was the stench. The second thing we noticed was the bathtub of rotten tomatoes which is the only thing the goats and sheep get to eat. The last thing we saw was the emaciated, starving, sick and weak animals who are suffering tremendously. We are working with local authorities to improve conditions but right now we are hitching up our trailer to bring the worst off back to The Gentle Barn to heal them, if we can…

This is going to be grueling and costly, we can’t do this without you! Please click here to donate towards this rescue! Remember to select "Emergency Starving Goat Rescue" when you make the donation. Thank you!

E6 Calf Rescue

Their Story: These four calves were rescued from E6 Cattle company in Texas. When we brought them home they were filthy, emaciated, sick, weak and afraid. It has been weeks and we are still working to get them strong and healthy.

Mercy

Mercy is the one of the youngest and smallest and was horribly sick when he arrived. With lots of TLC and vet care his fever finally broke and he is now healthy.

Bob

Bob seemed good when he first came in, but the trauma of what he went through finally caught up with him and he is now very sick and weak. The vets believe that he never nursed from his mom and never got colostrums, so he does not have his own immune system. He will probably need antibiotics and intensive care for a while until his body is strong enough.
