I did the same kind of thing. Two years ago I found some giant breed mutts covered in poo and flies in a lady's barn. I offered her money and took them home and the children and I bathed them until they stopped smelling so bad. we took them to our village vet who tested the bejeezus out of...

This is for the lady who adopted those piglets: What a read! Thank you. What an excellent community this is of people willing to help and offer advice. I have been surreptitiously reading these threads for over a year now and finally joined sometime this autumn. I finally have a sounding...

We just lost our StBernard. She was a rescue but suffered from spinal torsion and had to be euthanised this week. We still have our Newfoundland, a spayed female, but are looking for another companion to cuddle with the children, ducks, goats, and chickens, but to run the coyotes off the fenced...

Sounds like great fun! I am starting to have quite a full house myself. Since moving to Quebec, I have taken in the odd bird, raccoon, turtle, dog, and cat but not until this June did I realise that what is needed around here is a refuge for farm animals. We have ten acres of disturbed woodland...

Oh boy. So I have started adopting and adopting and Adopting this summer ad absurdum. We have a herd of goats, chickens, ducklings, turkey, guinea fowl, and the odd child running out here in southern Quebec (feels like northeast kingdom VT to me). I am reading up on what to plant for pasture...
