I know, I know, Happy Trails doesn't take in bunnies!  However, on Jan. 27th, Happy Trails assisted the Portage APL with an animal rescue involving a 20+ year old pregnant pony, a calf, and 35 bunnies. One horse was found dead at the scene. Sponsors for bunny spays/neuters are needed! Story.  Sponsor a bunny.  Adopt the pregnant pony or calf.

Buddy, a 19 year old Quarter horse came into the Happy Trails rescue program on Friday, January 22nd. He had a painful medical problem, one that most of us wouldn't want to have to think about.

Here's the fliers!
