Needs
Animal Medical Care and Equipment:
This year we are specifically fundraising for a custom-made hydraulic lift squeeze chute to comfortably and safely hoist our pig care residents to provide critical hoof maintenance and veterinary care.
We care for many dozens of animals, many with special needs, who were rescued from neglect, abandonment or the slaughter pipeline. Our medical fund is critical so that animals can get the lifelong veterinary care, medication, surgeries, hospitalization, and respectful end-of-life care they need and deserve.
Humane Education Materials: See above for our humane education focuses and help fund our educational tour guide staffing.
General Operating Expenses:
Donors who give toward our nonprofit's operating costs are the most critical part of our non-profit's success. It's easy to rescue an animal from a dire situation, but much more difficult and expensive to provide care for the entire duration of that animal's natural life, (especially for our special needs residents). General funding includes critical things such as:
- Feed and hay
- Medications and supplements
- Mental and physical enrichment
- Absorbent shavings and soft straw bedding
- Appropriate shelters, fencing and infrastructure
- Routine veterinary care
- Transportation costs
- 24/7 animal caretakers
- Hire part-time animal care staff
- Maintain wildfire insurance & fire safety equipment
To maximize your impact, you can also choose to become a Blackberry Creek member or monthly supporter on our website or give a one-time gift to sponsor a particular animal's regular medical care.
In-kind Donations:
1.) We are VERY much in need of a tractor and/or skid-steer to keep the property safe and maintained.
2.) A "rescue glide" large animal evacuation equipment.
3.) Items from our Amazon and Chewy wishlists.
