Urgent - Pony Missing
Notice her markings on her face
 This
is a picture of Little Red. She is a shy little shetland pony
mare. She was rescued from neglect with another horse in the
Glenwood, IA area. Little Red was in a foster home in Glenwood,
IA and sadly her foster family gave her away without our
knowledge September 11, 2009. On September 12, 2009 she
was then given away once again to a lady named Christina or
Christine that was at the Red Oak, Iowa Auction who had a (2)
year old child with her. If you have seen Little Red or have any
information regarding where she could possibly be please contact
our rescue. We have had some leads and we believe she is in the
Glenwood, IA area or the Red Oak, Iowa area. Please
help us find Little Red. She had had a rough start
in life and our only concern at this time is to find her & bring
her back to a safe environment. We can be reached at
712-527-3721 (Rescue/Shelter) or 712-355-3721 (Genea's Cell)
Max has been Adopted
Max has been
adopted. He is one of the many dogs that Hooves & Paws Rescue
has been able to place while being fostered. Foster Homes are so
important! They allow us to take even more large breed dogs and
horses that need a place to call home. We want to thank all
of our foster homes for the great work they do to help our rescue and
the animals. We sent out a plea for help for these dogs to many of you. Although we are totally out of room at our rescue we could not let these dogs starve to death and suffer any longer. A wonderful lady who is involved with Wheaton rescue stepped up to the plate and has done an incredible job by helping us & contacting other rescues to help get these dogs to safe places to heal. We are very happy to report that (4) Mastiffs, (2) Shelties, (2) JRT & (1) Lab were transported and saved Saturday May 23, 2009.
Some of the faces of this rescue. These are the pictures of just some of the dog's on the Owner's property. These dogs were living in a very poor environment and they were starving and had no Vet care. But now they are safe! Thank You To All Involved!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My family bought me when I was a puppy. They said they loved me and would always take care of me. Saturday March 21, 2009 a person who I had never met before held me in her arms when I crossed over to Rainbow’s Bridge. She wrapped me in a blanket and sat with me on our new front porch my family was building. Although I was in a lot of pain I did not bite her. She had tears in her eyes and said it would be ok and I would not be in pain anymore. That sounded very nice as I had been hit by a car the day before and my family had left and put me in our new house that they were building. They said they would be back, but when? It took me a long time but I finally crawled under a chair and waited. I had no food or water and I could not walk anymore. I heard them say when they left, his back must be broke or maybe his legs. Then they said they did not have any money to take me to the Vet and shut the door on our new house. I spent the night wondering when they would be back. When the door opened the next day I heard a lady and a man come in with my family. They said to my family, where is the dog? I peeked out from under the chair. My family finally came back. But they did not pick me up like they use to when I was a puppy. They just stood there. I heard them talking to a lady who said she was from Hooves & Paws Rescue. Then a man who came with the lady from Hooves & Paws Rescue reached under the chair and lifted me up. He handed me to the lady from Hooves & Paws Rescue and said he would be right back. He brought a needle. He said it would be over soon. He said my pelvis was broke very bad and nothing could be done at this point. I did not feel any pain when put the needle in my arm. I just felt better. The lady from Hooves & Paws Rescue told me that she loved me and she was sorry. Now I know why they have places who rescue animals like me. I am glad I got to meet the lady from Hooves & Paws Rescue. This is a true story inspired by the little black dog who we were called to help. There are so many others like this little black dog. The people did not get the little black dog help because they told us they could not afford Vet care. But, when we were called they said they were ok with us paying to have the little black dog put down as long as they did not have to pay for it. In the area that this little black dog lived there is no animal control of any type. We are called many times to help animals just like this. Your donations allow us to continue the work we do helping animals who have no voice of their own. Although money is always tight at the rescue we keep enough in a special fund for animals like this who need our help.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are in desperate need of "safe houses" for rescued horses and large breed dogs. We have many horses & large breed dogs that need a place to call home until they can be adopted into forever homes. We get phone calls every day to place animals at our rescue. We never want to turn any animal away. So, if you can open you home and heart to either a horse or a large breed dog please contact us. You can help us save the life of an animal. Safe House for Animals -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please Donate to Gunner's Fund. Gunner was a Show Horse and when he retired he was sold. He ended ended up in the wrong hands. Gunner's life ended in the hands of his abusers. Gunner's Fund will be used to care for the abused & neglected horse's that we are able to save in his Memory.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sometimes, I still dream. My dreams still scare me, but now I know that is all it is, a dream. I know I am safe now and will always be safe. But still, I dream. My name is Annabelle. I am a 13 year old Leopard Appaloosa mare. For many years I was a brood Mare. Since I was able, I had several beautiful foals. But, I did not ever get to keep my little ones for to long. You see, the man that owned me took my babies from me soon after I had them. They would scream and cry when he took them. I would try everything to help them but this man would yell at me and push me back, hit me and lock me in my stall. I would rear up and buck and kick to try and see what he was doing with my little one. I did not understand. He did not understand. My baby was to young to leave me. I would cry for days wondering what happened to my baby. I became very mean. I was so scared and very sad. I didn't trust anyone. I really never understood why he was mean to me. All I know is I was very unhappy while I was with him.
I became very mad
at him each time he came in to my stall, so mad I wanted to hurt
him. Each time he bred me I was very sad because I knew after my
baby was born he would take my baby away from me. It hurt so bad
when he did this I thought I would never recover. I remember the
last baby I had. I keep that little one close to my heart and deep
in my memory. One night, my little one and I were all alone
resting. Our Owner came into our stall, he said nothing to us. He
never really talked to us very much, he just yelled. This time he
put a strange thing in my mouth. I did not know what it was. I
knew it hurt and it was tight. Then he put something on my back.
It scared me. I did not know what he was doing. He pulled me out
of my stall. I did not want to go and leave my baby. I turned to look to see where my Owner was and I felt something hit me in my head. It was terrible. What was this man doing. What did I do wrong. All I wanted to do is be with my baby. He hit me over and over. I was thinking oh God please don’t let him hurt my baby. I thought what can I do to make him stop. Finally he stopped hitting me. He was yelling very loud. I took my baby and we went in the corner of our stall. I thought it was over. He was coming back toward me. He grabbed me and pulled me out of our stall. Again, he hit me. He pushed my baby back and slammed the stall door. He started to get on my back. What was he doing? I had never been rode before. I did not like it. I bucked and reared. He fell off. He grabbed me again. This time he had something in his hand. It was a board. He hit me over and over in the head and in the face. The pain was unbearable. I could not see. He hit me in my eye and it was bleeding. This went on for what seemed like forever. Then he stopped. I ran to my stall to see if my baby was okay. My little one was in the corner hiding. I told my baby Mommy was okay, are you okay? I was dizzy. My head hurt so bad, and I couldn't see out of my eye. I stood quietly guarding my baby. Please, don't come back. For days after that my Owner would try and ride me again and again. I could not bear the pain in my head and my eye. I would rear and buck and he would hit me with a whip. I did not think this pain would ever end. He beat me before he got on me and when he would fall off he would beat me again. Then one day as he came into our stall I thought he was going to try and ride me again but instead he pushed me back and put a rope on my little ones neck. Oh please, take me I will let you ride me. Don’t hurt my baby. As our stall door slammed shut I knew what was happening. Another sweet baby of mine was gone, forever. I am not with that man anymore. I live at a place they call a horse rescue. But, I still have this dream and the others here say they dream to. But we know now it is just a dream. When we wake up now we see our new Owner’s walking toward us. They smile at us and hug us each morning and tell us how happy they are to have us here. We are all rescues here and we all have a past but more important now we have a future because we are at Hooves & Paws Rescue.

They
all have a past, but now they have a future.
We
want to send a huge thank you to the following individuals & rescues.
Alma & Kent from Omaha - They did the transport of all these dogs from
MO. Truly incredible!
I
am so proud of all of these individuals for all of their hard work and
dedication to save these dogs from an unknown fate. We could not have
made this happen without everyone's help. This was a group effort and
many people, rescues and boarding facilities deserve a huge thank you
for their efforts.
