We've had trees fall and smash our fencing in a few spots !!!   it's one of those regular things.  We need good strong fencing to keep our animals contained and safe.  It's a constant expense and constant work.

Lucy says please donate to fix our fencing !!   www.RikkisRefuge.org/donate  Or volunteer for fence repair !   Volunteers@RikkisRefuge.org    We always NEED your help !!!!!   Me n Madison are so glad YOU supported Rikki's and got us out of the mess we were in before coming here !!!!!    We will be forever grateful for you loving kindness and generous support !!!

Madison says, hey Lucy, hush up ....  when the fence is down we can go on a walk about !!!!!    Ask for food ....  not fencing you silly girl !!!!

Won't you help fix up our shelters too?

We're just as important as the horses .... AND .... there are more of us !!!!

Our shelters are in need of repair... we use these shelters to get out of the rain and snow and to escape the summer heat.   Sometimes we kick the walls or chew on them .....  but lots of the damage is just from time and weather.

We share these houses with the goats too and they like to butt into the walls lots of time.  I don't get this whacking your head against stuff all the time.
