🎉 Happy Birthday to Muddy Paws Farm Rescue’s most dedicated supporter: Farmer Joan! ❤️
I’m not going to tell you how old Joan is… but if I did, you would say, “Oh, sh*t!”
Joan gives an incredible amount of herself to Muddy Paws Farm and, most importantly, to the animals who call this place home. Her time, her energy, her concern, her determination and her enormous heart, are woven into this rescue in more ways than she realizes.
She worries about the animals. She advocates for them. She notices when something isn’t right. She shows up. And then she shows up again. Constantly. Without Fail.
We could not do what we do without her.
Joan is also one of the most stubborn, determined women I know. Life occasionally tries to suggest she should slow down a little and Joan’s responds “Absolutely not.”
She may not be as strong as she wants — and believe me, she is NOT happy about that — but that does not affect her fire, determination or fierce love for these animals.
I ask you to help us celebrate Joan today — volunteer, animal advocate, worrier, worker, force of nature, and a very loved and important part of the Muddy Paws Farm family.
Happy Birthday, Joan. ❤️ We love you, we appreciate you, and we are so incredibly grateful for everything you give to us and to the animals. 🐐🐴🐄🦆❤️
