He’s blind… can’t see anything at all.
|
When he was just a few months old, Dougie was sold at a livestock auction. In fact, this blind baby goat almost ended up as someone’s lunch:
|
, just imagine: you’re packed alongside other baby animals to be sold off, one at a time.
|
Doomed, you’re unable to actually see what’s happening to you. But you hear your friends’ panicked cries … and you feel them breathing down your neck.
|
When it was Dougie’s turn, the highest bidder attempted to buy Dougie and make a meal out of him.
|
Horrified – and at the very last minute -- a big-hearted mother and her young daughter jumped in to his rescue. But they couldn’t afford to pay Dougie’s huge medical bills.
|
So Full Circle Farm Sanctuary stepped up. We rescued Dougie, and he resides here today:
|
It’s a miracle that we saved Dougie. But here’s the problem:
|
- Dougie needed a painful growth removed from his face. That isn’t cheap.
- Dougie was riddled with parasites. Specialized veterinary care, antibiotics, and treatment is very costly.
- Dougie’s blindness makes it especially hard for him to graze. Our staff must provide him with even more food and care than others.
|
And , as I write this, escalating medical bills and costs for Dougie and his friends have more than tripled in recent months.
|
Our veterinary expenses typically average more than $4,000 each month – that’s a lot of money for a small non-profit sanctuary like ours.
|
But now our bills have TRIPLED! How will we care for Dougie if we can’t balance our books?
|
And with the huge loss in revenue we’re experiencing due to the COVID-19 crisis, Dougie needs your help now more than ever.
|
, Full Circle provides a loving home, food, and lifetime care for survivors like Dougie, who otherwise would face horrific suffering and premature deaths on factory farms and slaughterhouses.
|
But we can only care for as many victims as we can afford – and I cannot stress how urgent your donation is needed for Dougie’s Fund as we face increased costs.
|
Thank you for your generosity,
