You Make Rescue Possible
Written By: Kathleen Bub - Forever Farm | Issue: 2016/07 - July
The Friends for Life Forever Farm is a sanctuary for senior and special needs animals. Many of our dog and cat residents come to us from county shelters throughout western North Carolina.
Recently we have also been able to assist our Animal Control officers in Transylvania County with animal neglect cases involving equines. Having facilities for horses has allowed us to step in and help in emergency situations.
Brook, a beautiful two-year-old Paint mare, came to us recently when Transylvania Animal Control took legal action against her owner for not providing necessary veterinary care. Poor Brook was bred too young and was unable to deliver her foal, which had died in the womb, without major injury to her reproductive tract. Left untreated she too would have died from the resulting infection. Once she was signed over to Animal Control we were able to bring her to the Forever Farm, provide immediate veterinary care, and a safe haven for recovery. We commend our Animal Control officers for stepping in, enforcing the law, and saving Brook’s life.
Our organization endeavors to help with as many cruelty and neglect cases as we can. To do so depends on the generosity of our supporters, who are the main source of our funding. Tax deductible donations to the Friends for Life Forever Farm, can be made through our website, friendsforlifeforeverfarm.org or by mail to P.O. Box 340, Sapphire, NC 28774.
