Happy Trails Farm Animal Sanctuary Inc. is a non-profit (501c3) organization that rescues, rehabilitates, and provides an adoption program for abused, abandoned, and neglected farm animals such as horses, ponies, pigs, chickens, ducks, turkeys, sheep, goats, and cows.
The trip was fantastic. We took a Case Van down to Ravenna and got to spend the afternoon with a farm full of incredibly friendly, not to mention playful, eager and nuzzley farm animals. Here's a little taste of the trip:
These horses were rescued from slaughter. Horses that can no longer be slaughtered in the US are instead shipped to Mexico for slaughter. Horses are such gentle, beautiful animals. How anyone could eat them I will never understand.
Anette Fisher, the founder and director of Happy Trails, led us through the farm while educating us about farmed animal welfare and sharing stories about the animals we were interacting with.
The most adorable little boy, Johnathan, came along. He had a blast, as I'm sure any kid would!
This pig was so friendly...he came running out to us when Annette called his name! As you can see, he was quite an attention hog ;)
Typical CARES moment... everyone laughing, loving life, and respecting the lives of others!
CARES is planning on making trips to Happy Trails a SatCo tradition, so if you missed out this time, there will be more chances to come!
