My Story
Walter's journey to SAINTS began as a rodeo horse, enduring years of hard work without kindness or compassion. Often left to fend for himself after grueling days, especially during harsh winters, Walter faced neglect and hardship.
Years of rodeo life left Walter with numerous injuries. As he aged and slowed down, his value decreased, leading to a cycle of rehoming where he continued to lack the care he deserved. Overgrown hooves, untreated dental issues, poor nutrition, and minimal veterinary care were sadly common for Walter.
Fortunately, a caring individual finally intervened, doing their utmost to provide Walter with the care he had long been deprived of. Recognizing his need for a safe and compassionate retirement, Walter found his way to SAINTS.
At SAINTS, Walter receives dedicated care tailored to his needs. He copes with challenges such as lack of teeth, requiring mushy food throughout the day, medications for arthritis, and management for Cushing's disease. Additionally, he has some lumps and bumps, with a few identified as cancerous.
Despite his challenging past, Walter now resides at SAINTS where he spends his retirement years surrounded by peace, love, and the care he deserves. His story is a testament to resilience and the transformative power of compassionate care, ensuring he lives out his days in comfort and dignity.Every animal, given the right home, could be placed in foster care or adopted.
