Ears for days!

Little Benji is a Doberman mix pup that hitched a ride with me from Aruba.

He is the sweetest 7 month old pup you will meet! He doesn’t bark but he does love talking.

He cuddled all night with me for his first night in the US, and loved meeting the kitties. He plays perfectly with other dogs and has loved everybody he has met!
He stays by me like a shadow and just wants to be loved.

Will you be Benji’s forever family?

Rescue Never Stops 🐾

Y’all have been introduced to Moose… but what about Squirrel?

This dapper little man is a Manx kitten, being born with no tail. He has the cutest stubby little butt!
This dude can be sassy, but he also LOVES being near his person and following them around. He’s quick to come up and beg for head and neck scratches!

If you’re looking for a small cat with a BIG personality, Squirrel here is your guy.

Reminder that adoption fees are WAIVED on all cats/kittens, small animals and Ella through the month of February.

Rescue never stops 🐾

Looking for your next lap kitten?

Moose is your guy! He is the sweetest, calmest boy that just loves snuggling up on your lap or next to you!
This 6 month old kitten is great with other cats, dogs, small animals and even kids.
He flew all the way from ARUBA to find the perfect home! Will you be his person?

Remember- Moose’s (and all of our other cats/kittens, small animals and ELLA) have WAIVED ADOPTION FEES through the month of February!

Head over to hopefarmsandsanctuary.org to fill out a foster or adoption application.

Rescue never stops 🐾

Let’s talk about ELLA

This princess made her rescuers work hard to catch her when she was found on the streets of Aruba. She was incredibly shy and did not trust humans.
Once she was successfully trapped, she was spayed and brought up to date on medical care. Then it was time for her to come to the US.

Poor girl had a rough flight and was so scared when she arrived in Chicago, but little did she know she was going to be living the good life soon enough.
She was transferred to one of our incredible fosters (who works WONDERS on shy dogs) and you wouldn’t even recognize Ella today!

She has come out of her shell completely and enjoys cuddling and spending time with her foster family. Their resident dog and Ella are best friends and she doesn’t mind the cats either!

Ella LOVES food time and often does a happy dance while waiting. She would be great with kids, other dogs and cats in her forever home, but wouldn’t mind being on her own either!
She’s not a high energy pup, she prefers lounging on the couch and hanging out inside. But don’t miss out on her zoomies!

Interested in adopting Ella? Head over to hopefarmsandsanctuary.org to fill out an application!

Isn’t she pretty?

Little Eva is finally here, and looking for a foster!

She has some learning and rehab to do before she will be available for adoption, but you are more than welcome to submit an application at hopefarmsandsanctuary.org in the meantime!

This girl is the sweetest filly I’ve met! She’s got amazing potential and can only get better in time.

Welcome to the Sanctuary, little one.

MONKEY NEEDS A TRANSPORTER AND FOSTER!

Sweet Aruba pup, Monkey, who we found and helped out back in December, is coming to the States!

Her story: We were in Aruba for a week back in December to help the foundations and trappers on the island. We went out one day to Rum Reef on Baby Beach for lunch and to try to hang out in the water for a bit. But of course, we couldn’t resist hopping out when we saw a little dog trying to follow everybody around.
We called her over to us, and upon closer inspection, this girl was not in good shape. Covered in ticks, puncture wounds in her abdomen, bloody and covered in dirt. So, we did what we could. We gave her Nexguard, removed the largest (and probably most painful) ticks, cleaned her wounds, and just loved on her before we had to, unfortunately, leave her at the beach. All of the organizations are completely full and don’t have the space or resources to take more animals.
But that didn’t stop us. Over the next few weeks, we asked for help finding a foster, somebody to care for her until we could get her spayed, vetted, and fly her to the US.
It didn’t go as planned. For weeks, nobody could find her. We hoped for the best but expected the worst.
But… two days ago we got amazing news! Somebody had found her and had been caring for her! This amazing person tended to her wounds, fed her and kept her safe. And has agreed to foster her until she flies to the US. Now, spayed and vetted, she’s ready. We are hoping to fly her in on 1/24, to Columbus, Ohio. We need somebody who is willing to pick her up from the airport and transport her to Chicago, or at least part of the way. This will be a team effort. We are ALSO looking for a foster for Monkey! She is an amazing dog, about 6-7 months old, loves everybody and everything, and would do great in a home with other animals. If you or somebody you know are interested, please reach out! As usual, we always need help with supplies. We always need food, blankets, dishes, collars and harnesses, etc. These can be shipped directly to us or dropped off!

🌷 EVA 🌷

Young horses are often found in auctions, after being born the “wrong” color, or because they don’t look quite how the backyard breeder wanted. Babies in auction? It never ends well. Especially when they’re in rough shape.

So when I get the opportunity, of course I’m going to pull the one that needs it most ❤️ Instead of being stuffed into a cold trailer headed for slaughter, sweet baby Eva got onto a trailer headed to a warm barn for the holidays.

Although I am absolutely ecstatic that I was able to help Eva, this has unfortunately completely depleted our rescue funds. Which we desperately need to keep all of the animals here healthy and happy, and up to date on vet care.

So PLEASE, if you have anything to spare this holiday season, consider donating to help Eva and others get the care they need.

Meet Javy!

He and his siblings were found dumped in a box as puppies in Aruba. The amazing people at Luna Foundation rescued Javy and his siblings and got them the care they needed. Once he was healthy, he caught a plane to Illinois.

Javy is an incredibly loyal, intelligent, and obedient dog. He has been professionally trained and it shows. He would do best in a home without children, with another dog, or with very active parents. He takes a while to warm up to those he doesn’t know, but once in his inner circle he’s a fantastic dog. At day-care and boarding Javy is very social with the other dogs and all of the trainers, so we are confident in his ability to bond with others. He deserves a loving home that can be patient as he learns how to cope. His foster or new family need to recognize that even after years of being around people and training, he still chooses to have his own space. He is not cuddly, and will always choose his own spot on the far end of the couch. In the rare occasion he wants to be pet it should be on his terms, I regularly remind guests not to approach javy, as he get obviously uncomfortable. The flip side of that is Javy’s amazing ability to be independent. He’s never once had an accident in the house or chewed anything. He has none of the undesirable unhygienic dog tendencies, and is incredibly clean. There is no better feeling than walking in after a long day to Javy bringing you his favorite toy.

Now, he is 3 years old and is looking for his forever home. He is currently in Chicago.

If you’re interested in fostering or adopting Javy, reach out!

Thanks to all of our amazing followers and everybody involved, Santo is living it up in a foster home in Wisconsin, and he is going to his forever home on Saturday! THANK YOU!

‼️FOSTER OR ADOPTER NEEDED URGENTLY‼️

This handsome man is coming all the way from Aruba to Chicago TOMORROW.
Unfortunately, his adoption fell through and he has nowhere to go when he gets here.

Here’s what we know:
He’s a friendly boy who gets along with other dogs in a playgroup.
He IS neutered and should be pretty well vetted, but we will work on that once he arrives.

If you or someone you know is interested in helping by fostering or adopting, please call (leave a voicemail) or text me at (224) 413-8360.

SOS DOG FOSTERS!
We have a couple of awesome dogs looking for fosters while they wait for their forever homes. All supplies needed will be provided. Please reach out if you can foster, or share if you can’t!

Babies! These cuties are 4 weeks old and will be ready for their forever homes once they hit 10 weeks. They are Australian cattle dog/pittie mixes and will be HIGH ENERGY pups.

Morgan- Male, the largest pup of the litter. He’s very playful but is also happy just crawling into our laps to nap!

Maggie- Female, and the smallest pup! She is very sassy and isn’t afraid to show it. She may be small… but she is mighty!

Both puppies will go home with their first 2 rounds of puppy shots, microchipped, and spayed/neutered. I do require an adoption application to be filled out prior to adoption.

Please contact us for more information and for their adoption fee!

Jet and Jax both went to an amazing foster home today! Jet has a forever family lined up already but Jax is still looking! Please contact us if you’re interested in adopting an adorable, sweet, cuddly 10 month old kitten who loves everybody and everything.

Also accepting cat food donations ❤️

‼️AVAILABLE ‼️
Just a reminder to anyone interested we still have three adorable kitties available for adoption!!!

Mary is a 3-4 year old female tuxedo cat who came in with a baby. She is VERY sweet once she warms up. She would do well in a home with older children, but is okay with other cats and even dogs!

Jax is a 9 month old male tabby kitten who is a little shy at first but once he warms up, he can’t get enough lovins! He enjoys cuddling and rubbing all over your legs. He would also do better in a home with older children, but is also okay with other cats and dogs.

Jack is a 4-5 month old male tuxedo cat who came in with his mom Mary. He gets along with everyone including cats and dogs!

Outdoor cats are the cause of millions of species dying unnecessarily 😔 This little one is getting treated with antibiotics and will hopefully be ready for release in about a week.

PLEASE, keep your cats inside. Not only to protect them from predators, getting hit by cars, stolen, etc., but also to protect our native wildlife.

✨NOVA✨

This spunky girl is Nova! Due to no fault of her own, her previous owners had to give her up. Although she is a wonderful dog, with great manners, and who LOVES people, she would do best in a dog and cat free home.

Once Nova is spayed, she will be looking for a foster or a family to call her own! Please message the page or call for more info on how to apply to adopt or foster!

Meet "Smalls".

I got a phone call earlier tonight about a banded racing pigeon that was laying out on a busy road, not moving. The kind pedestrian picked this lucky little man (or woman!) up and made him comfortable while she tried to find somewhere to bring him. She was eventually given my contact information, and we decided that she could bring him here, even though it was late.

So now Smalls is with me. And I believe he was either hit by a car or attacked- he definitely has a broken leg and bald spots in a few places. Luckily no open wounds but who knows what's hiding under his beautiful feathers.

I have given him antibiotics and anti-inflammatory meds for the time being, until I can get him to the vet.

I am hopeful that this little guy will be alright, we really can only hope that he doesn't take a turn for the worst.

**Note! If you would like to donate to help out with vet bills, supplies, feed, etc. for the animals here at HFS, my sanctuary paypal link is Paypal.me/MaddisonHope ! I will also be creating new amazon wishlists for those who prefer sending much needed supplies 💖**

#Pigeons #PigeonRescue #RacingPigeon

Sequana is a 4 year old Cayuga hen (a duck), who has recently injured her leg bad, it is broken and bone is exposed. She was brought to me so that I could get her to a vet to have surgery to remove the leg. Unfortunately, bird vets are hard to come by, and ones that will do surgery on them are even harder to find.
I did manage to find one (Midwest Exotics), that unfortunately will charge $130 just to walk in the door, and quoted me an upwards of $7-800 for the actual amputation. This is something I was not at all prepared to pay for.

Anybody who knows me, knows I hate asking for money. But I will not be able to pull this off myself.

All vet bills and proof will be posted. Updates as well. Please consider donating, or if you are unable, share! The link to the fundraiser is in my bio.

Time to introduce this gorgeous girl! Her name is Lana. Her owner found her a new home because she wanted her to go to somebody with more time for her! She's a doll.
She will be upgraded to a 75gal sliding door tank, like what Rubeus is in. Enjoy these pics I got of her yawning haha

It's about time I introduce this amazing little girl, Alice, a king pigeon! She was saved by an amazing family about a year ago, who found her injured and covered in feather lice. They recently reached out to me about taking her in, due to personal issues. So of course I welcomed her in. She is LOVING life with the other pigeons! And she is the biggest sweetheart.

The first post I made about these beautiful girls was extremely popular, and many asked for updates. So here they are now. They absolutely love free ranging, and wait by the door to be let out every morning! My three rescue chooks, Kiwi, Willow and FeFe all show them around and guide them. If it weren't for their appearance, you'd never even know that they had endured what they did at the farm!
It may not have made a difference in the world, saving these babies, but it made a world of a difference to them.

Eddie, or Baby as most know her as, is just over a year old. She was brought to me exactly a year ago yesterday. As you can see in the first pic, she wasn't in the greatest shape. She was scalped, she wasn't growing properly and was way smaller than her siblings, and her legs were deformed.
This first pic was taken by Heather when she was picking her up from Woodstock. The first day I got her, you could see her skull 😥 The first thing I did was offer food and water, then she got a nice warm bath to wash all the gunk off and clean her wound. After a couple days of settling in, she was brought to the vet. There was nothing we could do about her legs, the vet actually recommended euthanasia because she would never have a "normal" chicken life. But I was not going to give up on her. Other than her legs and the obvious stunted growth, she was in good enough shape that I thought she deserved a chance.
Though her legs are still deformed, she is all healed up and doing amazing. Laying eggs even! And she's normal size. It took a long time for her to get to this point, but I am the proudest chicken mama looking at the pics and seeing how far she's come.
I love you sweet girl ❤

"Freedom is the oxygen of the soul." This quote is just beyond perfect for these angels.
These are three of my five girls rescued from the Iowa egg farm that shut down. Five girls saved from those awful, tiny, wire-bottomed cages, where they have artificial lights over them, forcing them to lay every day of the year for our own benefit. Only to be murdered and thrown away once their "prime years" are over.
This is what you support when you purchase eggs from big companies. About 86% of the country's eggs are produced by just 63 companies that have at least 1 million hens each, all trapped. Not able to move even a couple of feet without piling on top of each other. Nails getting ripped off, feathers being shredded and pulled, beaks cut or broken... My girls, along with many more that we were able to save, get a second chance. And chance to learn how to be chickens. How to forage, and sun bathe. They get to discover grass, flowers, other chickens. They don't have to pile on top of each other and try to survive. These pretty girls will become even prettier. Brighter.
Now, they thrive. They live.
