MYAKKA CITY, FL — Napier’s Log Cabin Horse & Animal Sanctuary, Inc. has recently taken in a a number of horses in need. Some have been saved from slaughter auctions, drafts from closed PMU farms, some from lack of grass and food due to the hay shortage, some from animal neglect cases and some from owners that have just had to surrender them due to personal hardship: lack of money, time and housing. Visit www.NapierFamilyFarm.com if you are looking for a horse or foal. It will help the Sanctuary and the horses by adopting instead of buying.

The Sanctuary is asking for help from the community. Donations are desperately needed for bags of horse food, beet pulp, alfalfa cubes and hay for the horses. Most of the horses also need to be wormed and receive shots as they arrive at the Sanctuary under-fed and never having basic medical care. Credit card donations may be called in to Myakka Ranch & Farm Supply, 941-322-1783 or mailed to 36140 SR 70 East, Myakka City, FL 34251 (Horse & Animal Sanctuary account), and can be made at any Bank of America to the Horse & Animal Fund raiser account.

Napier’s Log Cabin Horse & Animal Sanctuary, Inc. is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) no-kill Florida corporation that provides loving adoptive homes or permanent homes to needy animals. Visit www.NapierFamilyFarm.com or call 941-750-8185. One hundred percent of donations go to caring for the animals and are tax deductible as allowed by law.
