When the bidding began I bid on the second bunny and won, they passed the box up the stands and handed us our first bunny. I guess I got carried away when I saw men who clearly did not want them as pets bidding... the next thing I know we have stacks of crates full of rabbits around us! In about 15 minutes I was the proud new mommy to 17 bunnies and 3 guinea pigs, all different breeds, sizes, and colors! We carried all the crates to the truck (it took many trips to carry them all and get them all in!) and we had them all loaded up! I can't fathom eating a rabbit, but sadly many people do, I'm so happy to have been able to be present to help these needy animals.
The next group of animals was goats, all herded in at once. Before the auction had begun I entered the stall full of goats and found three babies, not over a week old. It was so sad to me to think that they were so young and were already in such a harsh place. I over heard two men talking about the best way to butcher them and which parts tasted the best. When the goats started walking in the auction ring I spotted my three little babies and started bidding. The bidding came to a close and I was happy to have won these three little precious souls.
A big donkey also joined the Project Sage family that night, her name is now Flower, she will be available in just a short month! She is SUCH a love with her huge ears.
We still have 7 bunnies looking for homes, if you can open your heart to one of them please contact me at projectsagehorserescue@gmail.com. Forever homes a MUST! Although they are simple to take care of they do need vet care just like your dog or cat so please consider this before adopting! They make great pets and are all very social and friendly!
