Barnyard Sanctuary needs your help!
Donation protected
Although it seems like winter is so far away, due to all the heat we are having right now, it is really only a few months. It is time for us to start preparing new shelters for all the new animals we have taken in, as well as replacing some shelters that did not make it.
We are truly hoping that you will donate to our building fund, as it is just NOT in our budget to do this on our own. Below we are listing the shelters we need, and their cost. Please help us- we need you. We can NOT do it without you!
EMU PEN
Round Pen Panels $2,320
Mini 6'x8' Run-In Shed $1,395
We currently have one emu in a pen with 4' high fencing and a small shed (3'x6'). The other emu had to be kept in a 6' high chain link pen, inside the other emu pen, as he came in wild and can jump the 4' fence. He only has a summer shelter. We have a 3rd female emu coming in 2 weeks. We need to line the inside of our existing pen with 310 lf of round pen panels and add a new 6'x8' run-in shed. (Note- if we raise extra money, we would make this shed 8x12 for an additional $940).

HOG HOUSE
8'x14' metal Porta Hut $1,541
We took in 5 small piglets from a horrific cruelty case April 2015 in Lafayette, NJ. We were keeping them in a 6'x11' metal Porta Hut, but they have now grown from 40 lbs to over 600 lbs each and there is not room for more than 2 in their house at at time. They urgently need a bigger house. Due to their destrucctive nature, we use the metal huts instead of wood. (Note- if we raise extra money, we would make this shed 8'x21 or 10'x14' for an additional cost- TBD).

HOG POOL
8' diameter Metal Stock Tank $350
The same hogs mentioned above must take turns laying in an 4' oval water trough. On these hot days, they need a pool they cannot break. We already have 2 of these and they are great.

RUN-IN SHED FOR 9 MINIS AND A BIG MULE
12'x20' Run-In Shed $4,979
(This is the same one we bought the cows when their tent blew away in the storm in April, 2016)
Our minis are using a hoop house tent for the past 3 years. The wind has broken several of the metal struts and has peeled back the first 4' of the tent. We need to replace it asap, as we can no longer repair it in a manner suitable for little horses. We plan on relocating the tent and storing hay or tractor equipment in it.

STALL MATTS FOR SEVERAL RUN-IN SHEDS
(30) 4'X6'X3/4" matts $1,200
Stone dust $1,000
We have several donkey/mule run-in sheds that have stone dust floors and no matts. When we muck out the manure, it takes up all the stone dust with it, leaving a depression which holds urine. We want to fill in the missing stone dust and top with stall matts, which we can scrape off and wash to clean.

LUMBER NEEDED TO BUILD MORE HOUSES
Plywood, siding, 4x4s, 2x4s, $3,200
We need to build a new goat-sheep house, as we have quite a few more goats. We plan on building a play gym around and over it, as well. We also need 3 small chicken coops and 2 peacock shelters. We were so fortunate as to have a large amount of decking and 2x6s donated to us last week by Goats of Anarchy! Now, we need to buy plywood, siding, 4x4s and 2x4s to finish it off.

Thank you for getting this far and reading all of this. I know it is a lot. Can you help us? We REALLY need you. In addition, we still have a $13,000 vet bill (not part of this total) we are paying off for all the spring vaccinations and sick animnals we took in.
Thank you!
