Kismet Farms Animal Sanctuary
A place for second chances
Meet the Team
Say hello to these rescues we are taking care of. Every animal is unique in their own way and has their own story to tell.
Maddy
IS A KUNE KUNE PIG. She was someone’s beloved house pet until she
grew and grew. Her owners had to move out of State and reached out to
Out To Pasture to find her a home (along with several other pets). They
contacted us and we said yes. Maddy loves sunbathing, belly rubs
and food. Her waddles are her most distinctive feature. She’s six years
Old.
Adele & Lucas
These ancient beings have been here for many years.
Most of their companions have passed on. They love expensive Orchard Grass Hay,
pelleted alfalfa, apples and carrots and lazy afternoons in what we call “The Sheep
Pasture”. They have bonded with the Nigerian Goats and put up with the pushy alpaca
boys. They get sheared every year and for about one day don’t recognize each other.
BELLE, ESTELLE, MARY and many others look on from the beyond.
THE GEESE
the small flock started with rescuing 6 geese who needed a home. Many
years ago. We collect their eggs but occasionally one of them hides them and lays on
them when we are not looking. Lots of goslings through out the years. They are fat, happy
and silly as all geese should be. We have the geriatric ward where the elderly live undisturbed,
the pediatric section where goslings and their moms are until they are feathered and the general population which now is at an all time high of 26? Fun fun.
The Chickens
Many rescues throughout the years. Currently six hens which includes
the wild fires highway roaming hen; two banty roosters who came with Rita, and three
possibly Long Horn hens who needed a home. They have a great penthouse and an
outdoor fenced area with a wire roof. Heat lamp during the winter, fan during the hot
summer days.
The Alpaca Boys
WIlly and Casey
They were in the same group as the goaties. They are curious,
make funny noises and turn into mush when being sheared.
They love the pasture, rolling in the dirt, sunbathing, chasing each other in a game of tag. The also protect the farm dogs, and the rest of the farm residents. They love it here.
Annabelle
The pomeranian. This little bundle was part of the alpaca rescued group. She was in a puppy mill for the first few years of her lifehaving puppies. The couple that rescued her broke up and she was left behind with an overwhelmed owner.
When we went to get the farmed animals the owner asked
if I could find homes for three dogs. I was able to place
the large dogs and decided to foster Annabelle. She
loves it here. She’s considered a senior but after being
here for one month she started acting like a puppy. She loves to play with the big dogs. Now if we could teach her not to bark!
Raelynn & Bobbie
The Dwarf Nigerian girl goats.
These two girls were rescued from a broken home with a very overwhelmed owner. He reached out for help. The goats lived in a 5x5 shed with no windows surrounded by mud. We had to carry them out. Raelynn had pneumonia and was under the care of three veterinarians. They both had worms and had no names. They have recovered well and are enjoying freedom, a
comfortable barn with a fan during the summer and a heat
lamp during the winter, and a great pasture.
They are bonded with the sheep and enjoy pasture grass,
orchard, and carrots. I sneak Raelynn’s medications in the carrots.
I think she knows but let’s me do it.
BETSY
The large potbellied pig with possibly Juliana mix. She’s our newest resident
and arrived with her companion Creek. First thing she did was take apart a strong
wire hog panel and go for a stroll. Luckily all the barnyard is fenced Her loving owners
had a change in circumstances and needed to move. She’s very sweet and unlike the
other piggies, has a very soft, quiet voice. She takes her time with her food savoring
every morsel and loves long naps in the straw or waddling in her pool. Welcome Betsy.
She’s two years old
Creek
The one year old male Dwarf Nigerian horned goat. He came with Betsy
and is in quarantine as he recently got neutered. He loves sweet feed, head rubs
and blatting!!!!
RITA
The Belted Galloway Scottish (oreo) Cow. Her owners were desperate fo find a home for her and her companion a mini cow as they were losing their home and moving out of state. They were in Southern Oregon. Out To Pasture provided transport
and with the help of several volunteers we fenced a large pastured area. She’s
a mature girl and so very sweet. She loves her grain and so I am able to mix in
various nutrients and homeopathic with her treats.

Maisey
The African Miniature Zebu cow. She’s Ritas bonded companion.
She loves her pasture and spending lazy afternoons under the fir trees unless
she gets the zoomies when her grain is arriving. She’s not fond of rain
and very happy to have a shelter to get under even with a minor sprinkle.
She’s 5 years old.
Sun and Moon
In 2020 the near by fires occurred which lead these two best friends to us. At first they both were shy, uncertain and scared of us. Now they love to rub themselves on our legs and pur from pets and scratches. They guard our farmhouse at night from random nighttime critters.
