2024 Winter Hay Fundraiser!

HAPPY HAY = HAPPY BELLIES!

The chilly months are here, and at Rewild Refuge, we're gearing up to keep our beloved rescued animals warm, fed, and cared for through the long winter in Northwest Washington! To get through the season, we need to secure 300 bales of hay to sustain our herd from November to March. All of our rescues DOUBLE their hay intake during the cold months. This hay is an essential lifeline for our horses, goats, sheep, pigs, Rooster, and other large animals who rely on us every day.

With feed and supply costs higher than ever and donations running low, we're turning to you, our amazing community, to help us meet this urgent need. Together, we can make sure every one of our residents is safe, cozy, and cared for all winter long. 💛

Your support in our Winter Hay Fundraiser will provide more than just hay; it will bring warmth, security, and the promise of a brighter future to the animals who call our sanctuary home. Every bale purchased is a step closer to ensuring that these incredible animals are safe, healthy, and thriving through the winter. 

Please consider donating and sharing our mission, so we can continue to provide the love and care they deserve during this critical season. Together, we can make sure they all stay warm, fed, and loved!

DID YOU KNOW?

Horses and Donkeys: On average, these animals should consume about 1.5% to 3% of its body weight in hay per day. This means that a 1000-pound horse would eat approximately 15 to 30 pounds of hay daily; for a 400-pound donkey that’s 6 pounds per day.

Goats: Goats typically eat about 2% to 4% of their body weight in hay per day. For instance, a 100-pound goat would consume approximately 2 to 4 pounds of hay daily.

Sheep: Similar to goats, sheep also consume about 2% to 4% of their body weight in hay per day. Therefore, a 150-pound sheep would eat roughly 3 to 6 pounds of hay daily.
