We
would like to extend a heartwarming thanks to those members of the
Fans of Barbaro (FOB) who made financial contributions in support of
the recent hay drive which ultimately helped to make the purchase of
650 bales of hay possible. They (the FOBs) solicited donations on
their website, and thanks to head fundraiser Chris (hopelavendar),
almost $3000 was raised. Maryland resident Fran (Boxwood 6) secured
the hay from a NY hay dealer, and deliveries were made to two of the
satellite farms in New York which are caring for multiple horses
that were rescued from Norcrest/Middlecreek Farm in Troupsburg, New
York . Thank you FOBs and those folks from Fran's horse internet
group (including the Finger Lakes Railway) for your kind and
generous donations.

Why Should You Adopt From an Animal Shelter?
"Animal shelters are your best source when looking for a pet. Not only do they have a great selection of adult animals for adoption, but they also have kittens and puppies, even purebred animals. In fact, on average, purebreds account for about 25% to 30% of a shelter's dog population... [more]"
