Ark Rescue

01/16/2026

Most people see a blue bucket to feed horses.

I see an empty space in my soul.

Today we said goodbye to our sweet Stormy. He crossed the rainbow bridge after fighting so hard. We prayed. We sought answers. We did everything we could. But his body was tired, and God gently called him home.

At Ark Rescue, we pour our hearts into every life we’re blessed to care for. Stormy wasn’t “just a horse” — he was family. And losing him leaves a silence that feels too loud.

I take comfort knowing he is no longer in pain. Running free now in green pastures, whole again, restored, and held in perfect peace.

If you feel led, donations made in Stormy’s honor will help us continue caring for the animals who still need us so desperately. Your love keeps his legacy alive and helps us fight for the next life that comes through our gates.

Thank you, Stormy, for trusting us with your life and your love. You will always be part of our story. 🤍🌈

🌾 Bales of Love Fundraiser 🌾

Cold weather is here and our babies are going through hay faster than ever. For them, hay isn’t just food… it’s warmth, comfort, and security. When their racks are full, their bellies are happy and their hearts feel safe ❤️

Every single bale you help provide is a Bale of Love — a reminder that they are cared for and never forgotten.

🐷 Sponsor a Bale:
• $10 = 1 mini bale
• $25 = a pig’s weekly supply
• $50 = a horse’s cozy week

We’ll be sharing photos of who you’re helping so you can see your love in action!

💗 Welcome Home, Lindsey! 💗

As many of you know, Lindsey was airlifted to Gainesville for a cardiac event. By the grace of God, she is doing well, in great spirits, and coming HOME today! 🙏✨

Her babies at the sanctuary missed her so much. They’ve been waiting patiently for their mama, and we would love to surprise her with a small welcome home celebration from all of us who love and support her.

We’re hoping to raise a little funding to grab some fresh fruit, popcorn, and healthy snacks so everyone (two-legged and four-legged 😉) can celebrate her return.

If you’d like to contribute, here are our donation options:

Thank you all for the prayers, love, and support during this scary time. It truly means the world to Lindsey and the entire Ark Rescue family. 💕
Let’s welcome her home surrounded by love and gratitude. 🤍🐾

Mommy is finally coming home from the hospital ( soon hopefully ) and we’re trying to put together a small Welcome Home celebration to lift her spirits and help with expenses during recovery.

If you feel led to donate, anything is truly appreciated and will go directly toward making her homecoming special 💖

🎄 Merry Christmas from Ark Rescue at Brightside Acres 🎄

At Christmas, we are reminded of the depth of God’s love—a love that is steady, generous, and present in even the quietest moments. It is a love that covers all of creation and reaches the smallest and most vulnerable among us.

Here at the sanctuary, we see God’s love reflected every day: in gentle care, in safe shelter, and in lives once forgotten now resting in peace. Each animal is a reminder that nothing God created is unseen or unvalued.

Scripture tells us,
“A righteous person cares for the needs of their animals.” – Proverbs 12:10

As we celebrate this season, may your heart be filled with the peace God promises, the comfort of His presence, and the joy that comes from loving others as He calls us to do.

From all of us at Ark Rescue—our hearts, our hands, and every life in our care—

🎄🤍 Merry Christmas. May God’s love surround your home today and always. 🤍🎄
