The Backyard Barnyard Sanctuary
Share
The Backyard Barnyard Foundation began in 2010 to help support a long time neighborhood farm that was home to rescued donkeys, goats, sheep, pigs and chickens. Little did we know that two years later we would actually become a sanctuary with a motley crew of rescued barnyard animals living in our backyard. We are a small backyard sanctuary providing a permanent and loving home to the animals in our care.

Update on Romeo, Jessica & Chantilly 🐷✨
We brought Jessica home last night, and our hearts were already feeling lighter. Then this morning, we got the call we had been hoping for. The vets at Midwestern felt confident that Romeo and Chantilly were ready to come home too.
We didn’t waste a second. We rushed there to bring these sweet souls back where they belong. 🏡
All three will be on a supportive care regimen over the next few days, and we’ll be keeping them off the fence for at least a month while they continue to recover.
While there’s still no definitive answer as to what caused this sudden episode, it’s suspected they may have eaten something that wreaked havoc on their digestive systems. We do have clear signage posted on the fence about what is safe (and not safe) to feed, but something definitely triggered this very scary episode.
What we do know is this: they are home, they are fighters, and they are surrounded by love. 💕
We are beyond grateful to the incredible vets and students at Midwestern University Animal Health Institute for their compassion, care, and dedication through this scary time. Truly angels on earth. This is something that would have been difficult to treat in the field, especially in this heat. Being hospitalized and monitored is exactly where they need to be to heal.
Please continue to hold Romeo, Jessica, and Chantilly in your thoughts as they heal. 🙏
