Hello friends!
Well, it feels
like springtime here at the barn with all of our new babies! We recently posted
a video of our latest newborns, Ash, Willow, and Juniper. Be sure to check it
out when you get a chance and see them in all of their fuzzy glory. Nemo is so
excited, as are the other animals, over the little ducks. They seem pretty
excited to be here too!
We wanted to take
another moment to say THANK YOU all again for our beautiful trailer! We
couldn’t have gotten it without you all and now we can rest easy knowing that
should we need to transport Big Bodhi Boy or any of the other sweeties, we
won’t have any trouble getting them where they need to be. We are so grateful
for your support, in all of its many forms.
SAVE THE DATE: Guess what time it is (almost)? Get your bowling gear ready and
your friendly competitive spirit ignited because our annual Bowling Tourney is
right around the corner! There will be more information coming your way
shortly, but for now, mark your calendars for Saturday, October 22. We always have so much fun and donations all
go towards Kindness Camp sponsorship as well as towards the rescue animals here
at the barn. The Bowling Tourney will be held at the same location this year at Paramount
Bowl, 2625 Kipling Street, Wheat Ridge, CO 80215. If you don’t live close enough to join us but you still want
to participate, you can always sponsor a bowler or a team. Sponsorship allows for
kids who are in the foster system or in residential treatment to have a day of
fun bowling too! Stay tuned for more to come!
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: We will have Animal Assisted Therapy/Activity Groups for kids
starting in October. Every child will have a mentor and these groups will focus
on building confidence, fostering kindness and compassion (for self and
others), developing respect for self and others, and encouraging laughter, cooperation,
and purpose. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer mentor for this
program or would like more information on volunteering in general please go

Our Animal
Spotlight for September is shining brightly on two of our sweetest souls here
at the barn, Lottie and Gertie. Lottie came to us from Longhopes Donkey Shelter
and they were, thankfully, able to pull her from the kill buyer. She came in
with her burro buddy and constant companion, Gertie. These two sweet girls are
minis and they absolutely LOVE humans, especially children. Lottie has
appointed herself as the main guard to the barn at night. I will oftentimes see
her sweet face poking around the door to get a better look at what is going on
out in the dark. Lottie will rest her head on my shoulder if I am working or
meditating down in the barn. I pull the bucket out to sit on and Lottie makes a
bee line to where I am sitting to move in close and add to the peaceful vibes
that ring through the barn. Lottie is about 19 years old. If you would like to sponsor Lottie
or Gertie, or any of our sweet animal friends, we invite you to read about each
of them and decide which one speaks to your heart. Your generous donations are
what help Project: Thrive to, well, thrive! For more information, please go
here: http://www.projectthrivelocal2global.org/rescues.html.
Don’t forget,
Project: Thrive is going LIVE!!! We
are going to be live each Sunday during Volunteer Time (usually sometime
between 12:00 noon to 2:00pm Mountain Time). Keep an eye on Facebook as we will
announce when we are close to go time! You can ask us questions and tell us who
you would like to say hello to that day and we will do our best to accommodate.
The animals are loving it, we hope you are too! See you then!
We enjoy you all
so very much and we are so happy to have you be a part of Project:Thrive! Thank
you for all that you do including your continued support and encouragement. The
animals couldn’t ask for better friends.

sweet little storyteller; our new trailer; Mama Brie, Nemo, and the three
newest ducklings- Ash, Willow, and Juniper!)
With much
gratitude,
Project:Thrive
