Wish List

 
 
 

Material Donations

Our sanctuary rests at 9,300ft in the Wet Mountain Valley. Weather at this altitude is challenging: Material donations (trucks, building supplies, tools, etc) are the lifeblood of our sanctuary. We have a wishlist below that spells out what is (and is not) helpful for the sanctuary.

We gladly accept second-hand and reused/recycled items as long as they are useful and in good condition. Please only bring brands/items from the wish list.

Please help us with our sustainability efforts: If you are buying items to donate, buy food and supplies with little or no packaging.

Our “Big Three” Wishes

Truck

The ever-present need to transport meat, hay, and materials on miles of rough dirt road requires a reliable truck. With one truck gone, our heavy hauler is seeing twice the use. We are seeking to acquire a newer 3/4 or 1 ton truck.

Sanctuary Operation Vehicle

Our ‘05 4x4 ATV and trusty side-by-side UTV are aging quickly. Both are used daily to feed & water animals. Any running ATV/UTV will help. An electric-powered one is ideal to achieve our sustainability goals.

Horse Panels

Our round pen panels of 20 years are finally falling apart. A new 40’ round pen is needed & any horse fence panels are helpful.
