Starved and neglected Pitbull dog gets a second chance at life. One year later after being rescued.

Episode 82
It has been a year since a starved and neglected pitbull dog showed up on our doorstep after being dumped by someone on the county road behind our house. This poor dog was so starved and malnourished that he was to the point of fur loss to conserve energy. We found him durning the coldest part of the year in 2023 and to this day we are trying to figure out how he survived the cold temperatures out by himself. We are so happy he is part of our family now and living his best life. His name is Dax!
The first week of the New Year was quite hectic! Cory found another dog running down the highway when he was heading to get hay one morning. We can't seem to find his owners so there is another dog addition to the farm. Lena (one of our rescued Belgian Draft Horses) spent 8 days at the vets office for a cornial abraision. We had coyotes in the barn...and Korbin our registered Belgian Draft Horse stallion is heading to the vet this week to get gelded...FINALLY! We will be so happy to get Korbin turned out in a few months with the rest of the herd after his operation. So...many things happening here and busy as always! And...also an update on all the other rescued Belgian Draft Horses on the farm.
We hope you enjoy this video! Make sure you like, comments and subscribe to our channel so you don't miss anything happening around here! Because it's never a dull moment!
As a growing horse rescue group, we rely on monetary donations to keep the organization moving forward. The Big Hoof Foundation will always be transparent with how your donations are used. 100% of the money we raise goes directly to the rescued horses' bail fees, transport, feed, hay, medical bills, medications, alternative medical treatments, supplements, surgeries, etc. Every dollar raised is for the horses!
Our ability to help these horses is only because of the generous donations from our subscribers and followers! Please consider making a tax deductible donation to the Big Hoof Foundation to help us save more of these precious lives from shipping to slaughter and provide them with the care they deserve. Thank you everyone for your continued support in saving these gentle giants! We could not be saving these lives without you!

If you would like to support us, the one item WE always need is FEED!
You can send a gift/donation of feed (Alfa Pro) through our local feed store, HF & C Amarillo. HF&C Amarillo has offered to help us with anyone wanting to send a gift/donation of Alfa-Pro to the horses. When you call, tell them you are sending a gift to Fletcher Farms Amarillo/Big Hoof Foundation and they will add the gifts to our account.
Alfa-Pro is a complete pelleted alfalfa mixed with vitamins and minerals all the horses need on a daily basis. Alfa-Pro is $17.45 per bag. They do offer a discount if you purchase by the pallet (40 - 50 pound bags) $16.95 per bag if purchased by the pallet. WE go through 6 pallets per month to feed all 22 horses (440 pounds per day)!
Thank you to everyone that has sent us gifts of Alfa Pro! The horses love Alfa Pro and we truly appreciate the bags/pallets you have sent to us!

My wife won't let me bring any more dogs home , there is a place in heaven for you people god bless you
Dax is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo gorgeous!
Humanity has been very disappointing lately then i came across this channel. God bless you
Just in from chasing my rescue up and down the muddy street 😊. She has saved my life and I adore this wiggly wet wandering star.
Lucky dogs. It's difficult when you have to keep them separated. You are absolutely wonderful people who do so much good in the world. ❤ Not thrilled about the pigeon killing.
Kudos to Cory for taking the dogs off of the street. I am so glad that you are getting help. Looking forward to more videos. Thank you for all that you do for these glorious and majestic animals.
I don’t know who is more blessed him or you. He’s such a good boy. All of my animals have been dumps. They are always the best

We got our Pitbull mix after someone kept her for only 4 days and then didn't want her. She was only 8 weeks old at the time. She's a year old now and is a bundle of energy and destruction but also an adorable cuddle bug and we love her to pieces. You have such big hearts! The world needs more people like you.❤
He’s so beautiful, those eyes. ☺️💕 Zoomies equals happy dog.

So kind of you to help Dax. I've had several APBT's, American Pit Bull Terriers, super good & devoted dogs, the best!! Socialized at puppy age, they'll be good with other dogs. I see Dax has a lot of little scars on his head, signs of past fighting, 😢, so probably why he doesn't do well with other dogs. A loving & firm owner, as you two, may be able to help him learn, understand, when he needs to be a good boy, etc. He's so lucky to have found you.😊
Julie & Corey you are angels on earth . Generous and kind would never see any animal suffer. 🐶❤️
Well isn’t he just the goodest boy.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Julie I sure you can’t wait to get some help ; Thank God 👍👍🙏🙏🥰🥰

What wonderful people you are! Dax is proof of the loving nature of pit bulls. Bless you for rescuing him and Red. You bless each other. Much love to you and all of your large and small fur babies!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you. ❤🧡💛
You may already know Julie, but, sweet potatoes are good for dogs , just a little at a time, Dax & red are very lucky to live at your farm😊 I’m excited to see Corbin finally meet the other horses when he heals from his surgery.
So glad to see a video from you!! Glad salt licks are being enjoyed!!! Thank you!!
WOW! Horses & dogs & donkeys & cats.! 22 horses, 4 or 5 dogs + cats, number unknown.. Your farm has really grown by leaps & bounds! You started with 6 horses (but "GrandPa died) and had lots of room for inside stalls. Now with almost 4 times that amount do they all still get inside stalls? Where do you put them all? Glad to hear you are getting some help! Are you exhausted yet....I am, just watching & hearing about your day. God bless....
Julie, thank you so much for your update! I have to say, you have been very busy at Fletcher Farms taking care of all of your animals. Looking at the pictures of all the horses, they look great and so contented. Your two new rescue dogs are so sweet. Thank you for taking them in and making them part of your family. Dax and Red have hit the lottery and now have found their perfect forever home. Corey seems to really enjoy playing outside with Dax and your video of the two of them was so much fun with all of the zoomies. It’s wonderful to hear that you will be getting some help from your two interns this year. That would be my dream job being able to work with you on your farm. Thanks again for the update and for the amazing work that you do to give these beautiful horses a wonderful, happy and well deserved retirement. God bless you, Corey and all of your animals!❤😊🙏🏻👍🐴🫏🐶🐈💕
Wonderful to hear you're going to start working with an intern!

Your videos are important--you inform, you educate. Pittbulls have been unfairly demonized. The worst bites I saw in the emergency room were not pitbulls. The bites were attributed to: teasing, deliberate "de-socializing" or threatening the dog until it became anxious and then aggressive; people who do educate their children to be respectful and not grab,, pinch, or hit the dog (sometimes with toys). A dog is part of the family, that is the joy of dogs, they will give everything to their families until their last heartbeat. Please keep videos including the pups. I love hearing about each of the rescues, their personalities and social life. Keep it up BIg Hoof!

I couldn't agree more with your comment! Education on animals is the most important thing a parent can teach their children. Dax went through a horrible life and he turned out to be a great dog. Animals like humans need to regain trust after abuse. Thank you for your comment and support! We really appreciate it!
Thanks for the update, Julie 😊👍🏻 I‘m so glad for the dogs that - like the horses - are in Heaven on earth at Fletcher Farm 💝 Love ❤ and greetings from Germany

Julie you have the most wonderful family. I love all your babies. Your love for the babies shows so much. Your videos are always so funny. Rubbing back of legs on feed dishes was historical! The doggie wogs are so amazing and that Corey stops and picks them up is amazing too. I thought I missed your videos and am glad to see you back. Huge hugs and kisses to Korbin. He’s going to miss coming up to your door when he returns and goes out with the others!🤣🤣

We still have barn cats. We took in a pregnant mom cat last year and she had a litter. And before we could get her to the vet Lucas got her pregnant again. So we still have barn cats…the original cats all but 1 are still around. Going to get the boys neutered ASAP so we don’t get anymore.
Great video. The dogs are a riot and look so content. I am so glad you will have help, Julie!
You two are the best! Animals in need who cross your path are the luckiest.

I love the zoomies in dogs and horses. It’s so fun watching them run and play. Bless you and your family and foundation.

You're so good an knowing who they are, I don't think I could keep track. And yay for interns!
Sweet dogs for sure and eating laying down is super .
You are an Angel!!!!!
THANK YOU.
Also just to add how great it will be to take some of the load off re taking on an intern(s), I hope she accepts the challenge and thoroughly enjoys herself too! Horses, dogs, cats, pigeons, donkeys, chickens? Wow! What a workload to have? I expect you cook as well Julie, yes you need some help lovely I’m sure. Regards, Dave GB
God bless you.
Can't believe I missed this video, here to correct my error. 💜
So glad things are going good will be nice to have help with the horses that's a lot to do by yourself yay could run a person ragged even though you love to do it. If I could I would be bringing strays home to but fiancee says nope so that's they way that goes lol. Thankyou for saving them all they look so happy and plump❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Julie and Corey..you are AMAZING..looking after 22 horses..ESPECIALLY big drafts is not a job for the fainthearted...Corey works a f/t job and helps out when he can like collecting hay....and the odd abandoned dawg on the way😂😂..both of your hearts 💕 are full of love and compassion..Bless Corey just couldn't leave Dax and Red out there alone..exactly whatbl would have done..scoop them up into the car and bring them home where they're safe and will he loved..l hate to think how many people just drove hy and ignored them..l couldn't do that...l foster neglected and abused cats and rehabilitate them so they're ready for their furever homes..some are a quick turnaround..only a matter of a few weeks..others take longer..l had one cat which took me 8 months just to be able to touch him..he had stress reflux too..but l knew he wasn't feral just frightened..I'm extremely proud to say he is an absolute lovebug now and just cant get enough fuss..he lays on his back in their arms like a baby to get his tummy tickled then falls asleep like that..wish l could dend photos😂😂..I think rescue animals make the most loving pets because they know what a 💩ty life is like so really appreciate their new good lives much more..sometimes you just gotta be stubborn and tell them well I'll still be here when you are ready to be friends..sorry about the long comment.. l just wanted to say how much l admire ypu both and got carried away😂..God Bless you..🇬🇧💞✝️🙏👍👏👍👏🐴🐎🐕🐾🐕🐾🐴🐎🇺🇸

Hi again JULIE Soo happy and relieved to hear you have an intern helper on the way! You have done such an amazing job caring for soo many it will be time for some relief for you. All the horses look great and to see how wonderfully Dax is doing just warms one's heart. What a sweet boy with a fun personality. Imagine he's loving every minute since you found him. Lots of plans as you go forward and really appreciate you sharing the updates. Take good care as Feb is on the way!! Catcha next in time.

I so enjoyed your video! Thank you for telling us about Dax! I didn’t know about him. He looks so handsome! I loved seeing him and Cody playing in the yard! How do you keep the dogs separated, since Dax does not like other dogs? I wish I was closer, as I would love to come and volunteer to help you! It would be great for me, as I am retired! Your other new dog, Red…. Since he barks a lot, does he bother the horses or the other dogs? You and Corey are indeed Angels on earth, how you both take in animals and give them a home and care! Thank you so much for the update, sharing about the dogs, and we got to see a little of you inside your house! I’m looking forward to when your relatives come to help and your update! I owe you an apology….I am so sorry if I have the wrong name for your husband….I think I wrote Cody first, then I thought it is Corey…..I am terribly sorry for my errors! I am old enough to be your Grandma or Great-Grandma! Thank you again, for all that you do for the animals!❤️🥰💜🥰❤️

SO GLAD THAT YOUR GETTING HELP! YOUR SUCH A HARD CARE GIVER!!!!
So glad to hear you are getting much needed help. It is good for the horses to be exposed to other kind and loving humans after the hard lives they have had.
My dog loves her broccoli, asparagus, potatoes, raw pumpkin and more
