A Little Bit About Me...
Meet Doc, an old soul with a heart full of love. At 28 years young, all he wants is a peaceful place to retire. When a family found him in poor condition, they knew he needed help and reached out to us. Since his arrival, Doc has been under the careful watch of our vet, who has developed a plan to help him get back on track. Though he's blind in one eye and dealing with some old injuries, Doc is well on his way to recovery. With plenty of love, care, and good food, he's slowly regaining his strength. We're so grateful for this sweet boy and can’t wait to see him thrive in his new home here at the Sanctuary!

Initially skittish, Doc has come a long way, building trust with people through patience and care. His hard work and bravery even earned him the title of “Patient of the Day” from our farrier. When he’s not charming everyone, Doc loves grazing in the pasture and staying active, always getting his steps in.
