Finland and Fiji started the Georgia-Vich Highlands Hobby Farm and Rescue. Finland and Fiji came to us with a variety of issues, including coccidia (parasites), bowed legs, anemia, malnutrition, floppy kid syndrome, lice (external parasites), and parrot mouth. Through sleepless nights, lots of goat milk bottles, and the help of a farm mentor at Brambleberry Acres, Finland and Fiji are happy and healthy here at their forever home. 

Holland and Denmark came to us with their mom, Penny, from Brambleberry Acres and were not rescues, but rather additions to the herd to help keep Finland and Fiji safe while growing the herd! Holland has become so affectionate and Denmark keeps us on our toes with his silly self!

Lily lived several years of her life tied to a tree, so much so that her face formed to her halter that was too small for her. They planned for her to be a circus pony but she was taken advantage of. Lily had never experienced luscious grass and the ability to run without being tied to a rope until she found her forever home, here are the farm. Lily now enjoys treats and all of the affectionate pets. She will let kids ride her for fun, knowing she will be rewarded after instead of tied to a tree. Lily is a character and a fan favorite!

Skyflower, or Sky for short, came to us as a pregnant mare that loves to trail ride. We cleaned up her hooves some and made her as comfortable as possible by providing a safe home for her and her new foal, Blossom. Skyflower has been in many auctions, but found her forever home here at the Georgia-Vich Highlands Hobby Farm and Rescue. 

Daffodil, or Daffy for short, was one of our hardest rescues. Daffy came to us as a very timid and neglected and we assumed very mistreated based on the scars and her tendencies. Daffy was foundered, which made it very hard for her to walk. We religiously soaked, cleaned, medicated, and wrapped her hooves two to three times a week in order to get her moving again. What started out as a daring and time-consuming task became a much more rewarding task as we began to gain Daffy's trust. Daffy was able to run! However, minimizing the pain only worked for so long, as a bone in her foot had already been rotated and there is no long-term fix. Daffy was able to spend the last year of her life being spoiled and pampered at the Georgia-Vich farm. 

Asia came to the farm already pregnant, with needs that could not be met at her last home. We were able to clean up her hooves, get the proper minerals in her system, and prepare her a safe place to kid. Her babies are the most perfect goats, named Brazil and America. Once we knew they would be in good hands, Asia, Brazil and America found their forever home together at a farm 10 minutes down the road. 

Miss Italy came to us from a sale barn. She had severe pneumonia, high temps and coccidia. She was lethargic and so scared. The drive home was a rough one for her and we prayed she would make it! This girl proved to be a fighter. When we got home, she got a bath and medicine for her pneumonia and slept wrapped in a towel in our arms for hours. Once she woke up, she was thirsty and ready to eat. That was the start of her recovery! Currently, she is spunky and all healthy! We are blessed to be able to help this sweet baby girl!

When we got a phone call about a timid goat roaming a neighborhood with a rope around her neck, we knew we had to come to the rescue. After one week of unsuccessfully trying to catch Annie, we got another call. We had help! With the help of the community we were able to catch Annie and provide her with food and shelter. After a clean bill of health, Annie is now becoming good friends with Italy!

We have one bull, one heifer, and two cows! While these animals are not rescues, we couldn't exclude them from our "meet the animals" list. Each has their own personality and we have gained their trust enough to take care of them as best as possible without any major hurdles!

We adopted Stash from Kitty Angel Rescue and he is now living his best life as a barn cat. He loves to be pet and will even cuddle up in your lap from time to time. All of the baby animals love to play with Stash!

Ocean wasn't friendly with the other ducks at his past home, so he needed a place where he could have a flock. He has fit right in with the other ducks. We have rescued several male ducks, as nobody seems to want them and they end up needing re-homed. Our ducks are super friendly and will follow you around in their line.
