We have an URGENT need. A 12 x 20 mini barn must be delivered and dropped into the new goat pasture. This will allow the special needs goats to remain with the herd. Our main goat barn is 500 feet up a hill and is at full capacity with 39 goats and sheep. The mini barn will be dropped in the pasture close to the farmhouse and at the bottom of the driveway to the main barn. Location of the mini barn will allow us close access to these animals, so we can easily provide for their special needs. The special needs goats are currently housed in a cement floor building which must be thickly lined with straw and is difficult to clean out. If these goats do not join the herd, they will not have the benefit of a secure pasture which will be electrified against predators. The new pasture will be finished by Friday, August 27, so the new mini barn must be ordered as soon as possible. Our goal is $2,200. Please donate what you can through the ChipIn link, Paypal, or snail mail.

Our ultimate goal is a new 40 x 60 barn near the farmhouse. Until we build a new barn, intake of new animals in need is severely restricted.

On Saturday, August 21, OSU Vet Students and Ohio SPCA volunteers worked all day in order to prepare the farm sanctuary for new lines of fence. They removed hundreds of feet of old fence and bush hogged fence lines. Additionally, they hauled all old fence, gates, and posts off the property. 4100 feet of new fence and 12 gates will be installed starting August 23. We love these students and volunteers. They worked so hard to help the animals. Thank you! You guys rock!

Monetary donations can be submitted through Paypal or checks payable to the Ohio SPCA sent to P.O. Box 546, Grove City, Ohio 43123. Donations of grass hay, alfalfa, or straw are welcome. All donations are tax-deductible.

Update: A huge thank you to those who have donated a total of $900.00 towards the purchase of hay for the farm animals. We still need $1,800.00 to make it through the winter. 600 bales of hay must still be purchased.

Bran and Chris traveled all the way from Knox County to the Pickaway County farm sanctuary and installed a new Trane heating and cooling system in the bitter cold on Tuesday November 25. Trane donated the furnace and Bran and Chris installed everything free of charge,thus saving the Ohio SPCA thousands of dollars.

We all know that this is the time of the year to give to others. These two gentlemen have truly demonstrated the giving spirit – helping animals and the volunteers of the Ohio SPCA. We can’t thank them enough. May the blessing they bestowed upon us come back tenfold to their families!

A huge thank you to 4 Seasons Air and Trane!
