Starved and neglected Pitbull dog gets a second chance at life. One year later after being rescued. 

Episode 82
It has been a year since a starved and neglected pitbull dog showed up on our doorstep after being dumped by someone on the county road behind our house. This poor dog was so starved and malnourished that he was to the point of fur loss to conserve energy. We found him durning the coldest part of the year in 2023 and to this day we are trying to figure out how he survived the cold temperatures out by himself. We are so happy he is part of our family now and living his best life. His name is Dax!
The first week of the New Year was quite hectic! Cory found another dog running down the highway when he was heading to get hay one morning. We can't seem to find his owners so there is another dog addition to the farm. Lena (one of our rescued Belgian Draft Horses) spent 8 days at the vets office for a cornial abraision. We had coyotes in the barn...and Korbin our registered Belgian Draft Horse stallion is heading to the vet this week to get gelded...FINALLY! We will be so happy to get Korbin turned out in a few months with the rest of the herd after his operation. So...many things happening here and busy as always! And...also an update on all the other rescued Belgian Draft Horses on the farm.
We hope you enjoy this video! Make sure you like, comments and subscribe to our channel so you don't miss anything happening around here! Because it's never a dull moment!
As a growing horse rescue group, we rely on monetary donations to keep the organization moving forward. The Big Hoof Foundation will always be transparent with how your donations are used. 100% of the money we raise goes directly to the rescued horses' bail fees, transport, feed, hay, medical bills, medications, alternative medical treatments, supplements, surgeries, etc. Every dollar raised is for the horses!
Our ability to help these horses is only because of the generous donations from our subscribers and followers! Please consider making a tax deductible donation to the Big Hoof Foundation to help us save more of these precious lives from shipping to slaughter and provide them with the care they deserve. Thank you everyone for your continued support in saving these gentle giants! We could not be saving these lives without you!

If you would like to support us, the one item WE always need is FEED!
You can send a gift/donation of feed (Alfa Pro) through our local feed store, HF & C Amarillo. HF&C Amarillo has offered to help us with anyone wanting to send a gift/donation of Alfa-Pro to the horses. When you call, tell them you are sending a gift to Fletcher Farms Amarillo/Big Hoof Foundation and they will add the gifts to our account.
Alfa-Pro is a complete pelleted alfalfa mixed with vitamins and minerals all the horses need on a daily basis. Alfa-Pro is $17.45 per bag. They do offer a discount if you purchase by the pallet (40 - 50 pound bags) $16.95 per bag if purchased by the pallet. WE go through 6 pallets per month to feed all 22 horses (440 pounds per day)!
Thank you to everyone that has sent us gifts of Alfa Pro! The horses love Alfa Pro and we truly appreciate the bags/pallets you have sent to us!
