The crippled and arthritic piggies snuggle into their straw underneath their heat lamps on these bitter cold winter nights, but we also give them heavy blankets, sleeping bags or thick comforters to crawl underneath. This brutal winter and the sheer number of pot belly pig residents has caused us to go through a tremendous number of blankets. Can you help us track some down?  Here's more info.

Do we really need to teach people that it's not smart or humane to keep exotic animals as pets?  Does Ohio really need to learn that dog auctions need to be banned and that they support the puppy mill industry?  Apparently so is the answer to both questions. Sad but true. Please take a moment to make your voice heard on behalf of the animals. Here's how....

Happy Trails is collecting emergency donations for the Medina SPCA. They rescued 113 Cairn Terriers from Chippewa Lake. The dogs are matted, hungry and in poor condition. Many are pregnant. The Medina SPCA needs newspapers, food, blankets, squeaky toys, puppy playpens, volunteers to clean cages and of course monetary donations. Donations and supplies can be dropped off either at Happy Trails (call 330-296-5914 for drop-off times) or at the Medina County SPCA Animal Care Facility, 245 S. Medina St. from 12-4 on Mon,Tue.,Thurs, Fri ,and Sat. 

Happy Trails is planning to add several horse foster homes to our foster home program.  The horses available for foster have already completed their rehabilitation and are simply waiting to be adopted!  If you would like to be involved in animal rescue and help care for a rescued horse until we are able to find it a permanent home, contact Happy Trails for more details at 330-296-5914!

Pigs like Dozer, raised in the comfort of an indoor home, are becoming homeless in the middle of winter. It seems like the calls are coming into Happy Trails in catastrophic waves. There are no less than 15 indoor pot belly pigs in need of being re-homed through no fault of their own. Please share this information - click on the headline for the story.
