  Animal Rescue is in Need of Dog Food Donations Cat Litter
  With the increase in animal surrenders due to the bad economy, the Sanctuary is in need of dog food donations to help feed all the animals residing at the Sanctuary until they are adopted. (Unfortunately this has become an on-going need as the stores that once donated ripped bags of food are also being hit with the bad economy and are now taping the bags and offering them for sale at a discounted rate instead of donating them to the Sanctuary).
  Bags of food (currently using Retriever from Tractor Supply or Old Roy from WalMart, but ANY brand is appreciated and will be used) can be dropped off at the following locations: The Sanctuary, 20010 East SR 64, 34212 (leave at the front gate) (941) 750-8185; Tractor Supply, 4404 East
  SR 64, (941) 748-2157; Sherrie's Furniture & Appliances, 5523 15th St. E, (941) 749-5837.; Ruff Cuts, 502 - 36th St. W., (941) 748-7833; and Bradenton Small Animal Hospital, 1324 17th Ave. W., (941) 746-2252.
  Cat litter is also needed. Please donate the least expensive brand as the litter boxes are changed frequently so quantity is most important.

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. JETT arriving at the sanctuary. JETT (after receiving health care and proper nutrition) now available for horse back riding at the sanctuary. Click Here for Potbelly Pig Information and Photos.
