Special item requests listed below highlight several current needs of the sanctuary. Our regular wish list is detailed under "Basic And Important Stuff" below.

SPECIAL ITEMS REQUEST posted on March 27, 2012

Thanks to contributions by so many Happy Trails supporters, we are able to give the rescued animals the very best in food, shelter, and medical care.  Without the many generous donations from caring individuals who are choosing to make a difference, the services provided by Happy Trails would not be possible. 

Listed below are just a few of the many items we need routinely to provide for the animals.

Basic And Important Stuff:

• Hay and straw (not more than a year old, cannot be moldy)
• Lime or stall deodorizer
• Feed: Hog pellets, duck/goose pellets, chicken laying mash or scratch (any brands)
• Paste wormers such as Quest, Strongid, Zimectrin, Panacur, etc.
• Loads of large gravel to create dry areas in pig yards
• A large storage shed to organize and protect tools, equipment and animal supplies
• Gas & fuel cards for diesel and gasoline
• Heat lamp bulbs and heat lamps
• Printer cartridges for our Brother HL-4070CDW printer
• A concrete aisleway for our barn. The aisle is 10' x 84'.
• Sleeping bags, comforters and blankets for the arthritic or injured animals
• Large pet porters, crates or cages in good condition.
• Cleaning supplies: bleach, towels, brooms, long-handled scrub brushes
• Tools: pitch forks, stall forks, leaf rakes, muck tubs
• Office supplies (stamps, 8½"x11" color or white copy paper)
• For our hard working volunteers: bottled water, soft drinks, work gloves or garden gloves; snacks on Sundays
• A post-hole digger attachment for our Bob Cat
