Dear Friends of Tiny Hooves Sanctuary,

We hope this note finds you safe and well. As you know, our sanctuary has always been a place of compassion and hope for rescued animals. We believe in providing the best possible care for our residents and educating our community about the importance of compassion. However, we are facing significant challenges and need your support more than ever.

Donations have been steadily decreasing, making it increasingly difficult to meet our operational needs. We've seen a decline not only in our gala and major fundraisers but also in our smaller campaigns. This year has been particularly challenging for us, with many sanctuaries closing their doors. Recently, a sanctuary north of us had their animals seized due to severe neglect, and we weren't able to help rehome those animals because we had to close to intakes permanently. We need to ensure that we can care for our current residents without compromise because we will never allow what happened to those animals to happen to our residents.

Our monthly expenses, including feed, hay, bedding, and basic care, total around $18,000. This doesn't include any vet care or emergencies. With the rising costs of everything, we're really struggling to make ends meet. Even a dollar a month makes a difference. You can join our Patreon ( www.patreon.com/tinyhooves ) to get exclusive content and updates from board member Mandie for just a small amount a month.

We're asking you to please consider becoming a monthly or one-time donor. Your contributions go directly towards providing care to our forever family. We know times are tough for everyone, but if we can't cover our basic needs, we won't be able to continue our mission or grow our educational programs or to provide the care our residents deserve. Please help us keep going, support us by sponsoring an animal resident, attending our events, booking tours this summer, or spreading the word. Every like, comment, and share on social media helps.

We've always valued your support, but now we need it more than ever. This is the most scared we've been about meeting our obligations, ever. Please, please, please donate and help us continue our work. We truly need you.

With heartfelt thanks,

All Of Us At Tiny Hooves Sanctuary

With Love,
