Alan and Sheree Napier along with their three children Melissa,
Heather and Alana opened their Bradenton family farm to the animals
of Napier's Log Cabin Horse & Animal Sanctuary, inc. The
sanctuary provides temporary homes and rehabilitation for horses,
pigs, chickens, dogs and cats until permanent adoptive homes
can be found. The sanctuary, a 10 acre farm, sometimes provides
permanent homes to animals that cannot be adopted out for various
reasons.
Jack & Hawk, personally owned by the Napiers, provide horseback
rides to anyone interested. People may ride them around the trail
on the property. It's also a great place for a child's birthday
party, school outing, scout outing, any group or family outing.
Educational material can be provided on the animals geared toward
the age group and animal studied. Proceeds from the rides benefit
the animals at the sanctuary. To schedule a time for rides or
group visits, please call the sanctuary at 941-750-8185.
Residing at the sanctuary are potbelly pigs Miss Piggy, Charlotte,
Wilbur, Princess Fiona, Templeton and Hannah. These little gals
and guy came to the sanctuary after growing too large to be kept
by their previous owners. They love to be petted and fed snacks.
They will beg and tell you how much they appreciate your attention.
Unfortunately, when born they are very cute and small, only to
grow up to be too large to be allowed in the city. If you live
in an area that allows farm animals, please call and adopt us!
Two rescued horses remain permanently at the sanctuary that need
sponsoring. Neither horse is rideable or adoptable. (Lucy - a
TB born missing an eye & Jazzabelle - an Appy that was beaten
so bad she is terrified around other people that she does not
know). Sponsors will receive progress reports and updated photos
by email.

Jack & Hawk are owned
by the Napiers and were donated to the sanctuary to provide horseback
rides for anyone interested.

Animal Sanctuary Holds CAT
ADOPTION EVENT at Tractor Supply Friday, June 26th
Napier's Log Cabin Horse & Animal
Sanctuary will hold a cat adoption event on Friday, June 26th,
from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Tractor Supply, 4404 East SR 64, Bradenton.
Come see what the Sanctuary has to offer and learn what it does
for the community and animals needing homes. Brochures and newsletters
will be available with information and photos of other available
animals.
Wish list: Frontline
for dogs, Advantage for cats, Purina Dog/Puppy Chow, Purina Cat/Kitten
Chow, leashes, collars, 50lb. bags of 10% sweet feed for horses,
bags of beet pulp, grass seed for pastures, rabbit food, chicken
food, 50lb. bags of bran, bales of hay, or Tractor Supply or
WalMart gift cards for pet supplies.
Adoption donations help pay for emergency
vet bills, shots, worming, spaying/neutering, microchipping,
coggins for horses, food, shelter, transportation, transfer fees
to save them from high-kill shelters or auctions, heartworm testing
and monthly prevention. Some animals require more money and time
from sicknesses or some are unadoptable and need care for life.
The Sanctuary needs all the donations an animal is able to bring
in as the money is used for ALL the animals to provide the above
services. While vet care is provided at reduced rates thanks
to generous vets that work with us, it still is expensive!
ADOPTION DONATIONS: Most large breed dogs are $150; most small
breed dogs are $185; most large breed puppies are $185; and most
small breed puppies are $299. Puppies require care until 12 weeks
of age, where at this time they can be spayed/neutered, will
have 3 sets of shots including Rabies, wormed, microchipped,
on heartworm prevention and FREE 30-days pet insurance for illnesses.
HORSE ADOPTION DONATIONS: Most horses are $950; most drafts are
$1,600; and most foals are $950 adoption donation.
Most people do not realize how expensive it is to save the life
of a horse. Most of the horses come to the Sanctuary so skinny
from lack of food and/or neglect that it takes a minimum of 6
months to just begin to look like a "real horse" again,
are unwanted since they are seriously injured and no longer rideable
or the owners can not afford to provide medical care for an illness.
The vet visit for Coggins, shots including Rabies + West Nile,
de-worming, microchipping plus add in the cost of feed, hay and
supplements brings the cost up to approx. $1,600 spent to just
make the horse healthy and available for adoption. (Drafts like
to eat even more!)

Horse Rescue Offers Horses for Adoption for
FREE
Napier's Log Cabin Horse & Animal Sanctuary, inc.
has recently taken in a lot 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. Due to these reasons, the Sanctuary is overflowing
with horses and is no longer able to take in anymore horses at
this time until some of the current horses at the Sanctuary find
new homes. So the Sanctuary is offering several horses and several
yearling fillies for adoption for FREE to qualified homes.
FREE HORSES
THE WAY THE FREE* HORSE ADOPTION WORKS: Visit the
website www.NapierFamilyFarm.com and look at the free horses
available for adoption. If you are interested in one, email animal-sanctuary@hughes.net
and ask for a Horse Adoption Application, once the $10 fee and
application is received (mail to 20010 East SR 64, Bradenton,
Fla 34212), references will be checked and property where the
horse will reside will be checked. Applications will be accepted
until July 15, 2009 at 9 p.m. All applicants will be contacted
on July 16 with the decision of the chosen adoptee for the horse.
Applicants must have knowledge in gentle horse training
(or an available trainer), pasture, shelter, and references to
qualify for the Free Horse. All horses will have shots including
Rabies & West Nile, negative Coggins, wormed and microchipped
for ID. Horses are offered "as is" with no warranties
implied. (All that is known is posted with their listing).
*All participants agree to enter and sign an Adoption
Contract with Napier's Log Cabin Horse & Animal Sanctuary,
inc. before taking possession of the horse and understand that
the horse is free BUT Adoptee will be required to make a minimal
donation to help cover some of the above costs to get the horse
ready for adoption. Transportation of the horse will be provided
by the Sanctuary at an additional cost to Adoptee and Adoptee
understands that they are required to pay for transportation
costs.
