Joplin’s after eight years of successfully operating both  a single location sanctuary and animal rescue non-profit (501c3) has made a transition to a new operational model.  We have closed down the single location sanctuary while successfully moving all the animals in our care to new loving adoptive homes or to other sanctuaries that we are aligned with.

This transition allows us more time and freedom to respond to man-made and natural disasters around the country.  As an example this summer two of our associates deployed to Lake Charles, LA to assist in the search and rescue and recovery efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Laura.

WE ARE HAPPY TO SEE YOU

Horses filling every stall at the Evergreen Fairgrounds Dec 2025

As we approach the end of the calendar year, our fourteenth year in operation, we must admit it has been in many ways that this year has been filled with the most uncertainty than any other.

Starting early in the year, the federal administration, through its Doge efforts, fundamentally dismantled FEMA as we know it.  In the past we were either deployed on natural and man-made disasters directly with FEMA officials and rescue teams or were deployed by other agencies with at least a portion of the deployment funding coming through FEMA channels.

Given the absence of any direct connection with FEMA personnel that we have worked with in the past we have no insight into what FEMA is going to look like in the future and whether trained, experienced rescue teams like ours will be utilized   As we have not been engaged on a national basis, we have however managed to assist with several non-natural disaster rescues.  These have included assisting other rescue groups in hoarding situations, spay and neuter projects, and animal abandonment situations.  Additionally we have assisted several other rescue groups in their fundraising efforts, enabling them to do critical rescue work in their specific areas.Currently, though, given the recent massive flooding in western Washington, we have been able to use our expertise and have been actively engaged with local farms and horse owners to get their livestock (cattle, horses, goats etc. out of the flood waters and up to the safety of the Evergreen Fairgrounds in Monroe.   In most cases, the animal owners are now attending to the feeding, watering, exercising where appropriate and cleaning of the animals’ areas.  We are, however, helping where help is needed and donating feed, bedding and other supplies.  We anticipate that it will be several weeks before many of these animals will be able to return home.  In the interim, we will continue to be engaged.  It is through your donations and support that our work is possible.

We will keep you posted regarding future developments regarding FEMA and what the Federal Government’s approach to natural and man-made disaster responses is going to be.
