Underweight, suffering from mastitis and unable to feed her twins- Gracie and her babies were facing abandonment or worse. The start of motherhood for Gracie wasn’t perfect.
Most farm animals outlive the life expectancy of many ‘domestic’ pets. Many breeds of farm animals can live beyond 20 years, which represents a long-term commitment for their owners to provide appropriate feed, meet their ongoing healthcare needs over the years and remain on a suitable property.
However, this long-term commitment is sometimes overlooked by owners of farm animals when committing to give them a home. In such cases, farm animals may end up in situations where they need to be surrendered and if this fails, these animals are often abandoned, euthanised or end up in the wrong hands facing a sad fate.
Farm animals are frequently perceived as less deserving of lifetime commitment compared to domestic animals, and as a result, euthanasia as a solution isn’t frowned upon as much. This attitude contributes to the challenges faced by farm animals when they are no longer wanted or cannot be cared for properly.
Though, they’ll never know how lucky they are, Gracie and her babies were given less than a week to find a new home – their future if we didn’t step in and rescue them is unknown for sure – but it is one that makes us sad to think about.
Thanks to the generosity of donors, Gracie, Phineas and Ferb were rescued and taken to one of our loving foster homes. Gracie got the treatment she needed to treat her mastitis and has put on much-needed weight and condition.
Now thriving, Gracie, Phineas and Ferb are now looking for their forever home, where they will be loved as companions, not commodities.
