Are you a horse lover?

We are currently in need of donations for our geriatric horse program. We call them our "toothless wonders!"

We have several horses that are recovering from starvation that need large amounts of equine senior feed everyday. Every little bit helps! We will send you a personalized thank-you in response to your support! Please help us spread the word. We do not have any paid staff members. We are run entirely by volunteers like you.

Thank-you!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other ways you can help:

 

 

Become a Rescue Resource Person: Find 10 people to donate $30 or more. You will then be listed on our Rescue Resource list as a main supporter of our organization.  Almost every rescue facility and humane society struggles on a daily basis to find support to continue operation. The numbers of animals in need is overwhelming and exhausting. Our goal is to have 100 people or more on the list of Rescue Resource People. As a Rescue Resource Person, you will be contacted in specific situations to help us raise funds in emergency situations. Examples might be: A person who contacts our organization with a crisis of a fire, medical emergency or death leaving no one to care for their existing animals. MFAR is setting up an emergency fund to help people and their animals through a crisis. A second example is a situation where a small town humane society gets involved with a large horrible neglect case. MFAR has been involved in the past by providing hands on volunteers to help move animals to safety and has assisted in the prosecution of these cases.  In the future, with our emergency fund established, and our list of rescue resource people, we will be able to assist with providing the funding for the care of these animals to take the burden off humane societies.  

 

 

ANIMALS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION: 

 

We have many animals available for adoption. If you are looking specifically to adopt a certain type of animal, please get on our adoption list. We prefer to adopt to homes in the area, specifically Minnesota and Wisconsin so that we can monitor the success of our new adoptive homes.  

 

Our adoption policy is much like that of any humane society. Must provide life long homes, vet care, no breeding and if for any reason the adoption does not work out, arrangements must be made to get the animals back to MFAR. There is a $1000 pentalty for any violation of the adoption policy. 

 

Animals in greatest need of sponsors: 

 

 

Farm Pigs,(Big Andy, Tootsie, Petunia) (we would like to keep this group together and find a lovely farm that can care for all of them…keep in mind, 2 of the pigs, weigh #700 each.. they are friendly but need lots of space  If you can't fit them into your apartment, can you send them a donation to help sponsor them?? We will send up dates and personal pictures if you can sponsor these big guys!

 

Potbellied Pigs (age 3-10) (Jasmine, Scout, Fred, Ethel, Murtle, Porky, Spanky, and many more) (We want these pigs to be adopted in pairs of 2 or more. They are large pigs, approx 150# and are used to living outdoors with warm shelter and lots of space to roam. If you are specifically interested in adopting a young indoor pig, please get on our adoption waiting list as we receive calls from humane societies with pigs that have been confiscated from homes. 

 

Horses (with medical needs or over age 20) Blaze age 35, Leggo age 31, and Belgians Sue and Muffin age 22, 25 

 

Llamas, (to experienced handlers only), 4 geldings and 2 females

 

Sheep, (Mattie, Rambo must go together, would be great to a home that spins wool), 

 

Goats,  (many are large with horns) George, Billie Bob, Whitie  see us on www.petfinder.com 

 

Barn Cats, (all are spayed and neutered, live outside, need warm shelter, year round food and water, should be adopted in groups of 2 or 3) we have 6 young cats 4 months old, litter box trained. Will have vaccinated and spayed and neutered before adoption. Adoption fee $40 each.. they would love to be inside cats!!!!

 If you cannot donate money, how about time in spreading the word about MFAR..??? Print our flyers and hang them, word of mouth is also very influential and we are just a few, here in the trenches at MFAR…

 

 We also need people available with trucks, trailers and hay. At times we get emergency calls from owners in crisis, sheriff departments, or humane societies all over the Midwest (Wisconsin, and some from MN, IA and MI ). Please e-mail us directly if you can offer hay, a trailer, or a foster home in an emergency situation for any of the animals we may get calls about.. ckimmes@hotmail.com
