Flash & Ebony
Written By: Donn Gash - Friends for Life Forever Farm | Issue: 2018/06 - June
Two of the youngest animals in our care at the Forever Farm are Flash and Ebony.
This male and female duo came to us by way of our good friends at Transylvania County Animal Services. The bonded pair, who were 18-months-old at the time, came into their possession with Flash in urgent need of medical care for a nasty wound on his chest. Knowing the two would need someplace safe to stay during treatment and recuperation, the shelter contacted us, and we confirmed they could live here at the farm until they can be placed into an appropriate home.
The wonderful folks at Trails Carolina Therapeutic Wilderness Program sprang into action and provided transportation to the farm. Dr. Jennifer McKee from Apple Valley Equine Mobile Veterinary Services, our horse care vet, came out to administer field surgery to treat Flash’s wounds as well as neuter him.
Flash healed wonderfully, and Ebony stayed at his side as they put on some much-needed weight and received regular love and attention. While being generally sweet-natured, they were still a bit timid, so they spent some time at Trails Carolina, in a structured environment with lots of hands-on work.
Now the couple are back with Friends for Life and we hope to see them adopted together. The two of them have spent their lives together, are incredibly bonded, and have survived tough times. Nobody deserves to continue the good times in the company of one another more than Flash and Ebony.
