Farm Sanctuary

Isn't she a beauty!
Savanna is a 10 year old mini highlander cow and one of the newer residents at Merrymac Farm Sanctuary in Charlotte, where they provide abandoned farm animals with permanent, healthy homes where they can live free of abuse or cruelty, They also provide education for the local and broader communities about the well-being of animals.

Honey 
is the dappled golden angel horse at The Merrymac Farm Sanctuary in Charlotte. She is a Palomino who joined the sanctuary from a state surrender case where she was severely neglected and starved. She is believed to be in her mid-20s. It warms my heart to see how much better she is doing than when I originally met her. 

Jack

is a mini horse in his early twenties, at The Merrymac Farm Sanctuary in Charlotte.

 A few months before coming to MMFS, he lost his best friend and soulmate. He was very depressed and needing to find a new herd and place to retire. Hopefully Jack will find new friends at MMFS and be happy in the remainder of his years.

Kermit

is a sheep at The Merrymac Farm Sanctuary in Charlotte, where they provide abandoned farm animals with permanent, healthy homes where they can live free of abuse or cruelty. They also provide education for the local and broader communities about the well-being of animals. I love the sun glow on his face while he’s eating. He is a wether.
