Our Family |
|
|
Our Family is pretty large when you think of the amount of animals we care for on a daily basis. We have a huge amount of compassion for all animals. |
Besides our own, and the rescued horses, we have other animals as well. Dakota has a black Pomeranian named Tigger. Kaitlyn's dog, named Blue, is a Blue Heeler. Natalee's two dogs are: Pugsy, a black pug, and KeiKei, a tri-color Sheltie. Shawn has Buster, a Saluki mix and Charlie, a Rat Terrier. We also have 3 goats. One young goat, Sweet Pea, hasn't quite figured out what she is. Somedays she thinks she's a dog – we've even caught her chasing cars. She continues to make us laugh with her silly antics. We also have six cats and six fish. We stay busy, but it is a family commitment – one that we all enjoy doing daily. |

Pete has been with Shawn since birth 22 years ago. Pete's mother died shortly after birth and Shawn bottle-fed him. Shawn and Pete have been buddies through everything. Shawn trained him and there isn't anything that Pete can't do. I guess you can say we had a knack for rescuing even at an early age. |
Bandit was our second rescue. I saw Bandit and fell in love with him, but little did I know the abuse that he was suffering. We went to where Bandit lived and the conditions were horrible. He was on about one acre of nothing but debris to get cut on. We purchased Bandit and took him to the vet to be checked over. We quickly learned that Bandit has a partial paralysis of his tongue. The vet said that he had suffered severe damage from the bit. The previous owner was a teenager who was heavily into roping and apparently was extremely rough. Bandit continues to live here with Blaze and our long timer Pete. |

Meet Dandy, the latest member of the Cross family, as well as, the Blaze's Equine rescue family. Dandy had previously been diagnosed with COPD or Heaves. Dandy's family had been doing everything possible for him, but his condition didn't really improve. As much as they loved him they knew deep down inside Dandy needed a different living environment so that he would have a chance to get better. We decided we would take Dandy and do everything that we can to help him. Of course, our agreement would be that Dandy would live with us and become part of our family. I believe that he is incredibly spoiled and when the weather gets a little chilly he waits for his blanket. He is well loved, but then again, everything that comes here is well loved.
