Whoooooooooooo loves Conservation Efforts? Tender Little Hearts does!

Four Western Screech Owl fledglings have made our ranchette home. The Western Screech Owl is a small, nocturnal woodland Owl with short ear-tufts and yellow eyes. These little ones were rescued by Wild at Heart Raptor Rescue. Nesting boxes were place in our tallest trees in preparation the day before. The wonderful kids from the Scott Foundation made 3 awesome boxes for their release. The wee ones were placed in the nesting boxes right before sundown. They munched on a mouse for a few hours to settle in. The cover over their nesting box opening was finally removed so they could explore their new home through the night. Of course we hope they'll return each year to these same nesting boxes and raise their owlets.
Saving Chico. Now know as Edgar.
Chico was rescued from the Bowie Texas Kills pens. He was so cautious of humans but a very sweet donkey. With more and more handling, he has learned that human touch is not a bad thing. He is a beautiful dark faced donkey, steel grey with a strong black cross on his back.. Chico finished with quarantine and came to Tender Little Hearts to begin his path to a better life. How scary life must be for a rescue. Each adventure is another day of safety concerns for their little minds. Will I be harmed? Who is my new buddy? Will I get food? We took care of all his medical needs and got him on the path to emotional recovery. He is now spending some time with an amazing donkey whisperer and TIP trainer of wild BLM burros for training, Monique Wylde Williams, before he goes to his forever home with Sophie at Donkeys of The Heart (donkey therapy) in southeastern Arizona. Chico, I see nothing but happiness and kindness in your future! You'll be an amazing little therapy donkey and Sophie will shower you will love everyday!

Molly, now lovingly named Ellie
Molly was a bit of a wild ragamuffin when we met her. A family had tried their best to rescue her from a horrible situation but did not know how to raise or care for a young horse. Tender Little Hearts was called to step in and we immediately brought this darling home.
With a bit of TLC, she learned to trust and started her path to adoption.
She made friends, had daily grooming and walks, learned respectful behavior and soon transformed into a beautiful little horse..
9 Goats, 3 Donkeys and a Cow
August 24, 2019
The girls just turned their noses up at me and said; “MOM! You smell like a goat!” Actually, 9 goats to be exact!
We were blessed to assist Joey Ogburn and Mini Angel Eyes transport the rescue of 3 donkeys, 1 cow and 9 goats. We were the goat trailer.
The owner of a petting zoo had passed and her husband did his best to keep her herd together. Without the income from her petting zoo, soon the animals began to suffer and authorities arranged a seizure of the animals for their well being. All were very sweet animals and are now safe and secure in their new home! From a small enclosure and hungry to a new life on acres of grass with fresh water and love!
