Their Story
Meet Bones
June 2012 – Neglect/cruelty seizure of this Nevada-born mustang by Animal Control was mere hours before it would have been too late
Taken into L.E.A.N. the minute the 24-hr hold was up… he is started on nutrition using the Davis refeeding protocol
Day 10 of recovery with L.E.A.N. medical director Kimberly Burton, “Bones” is improving
One month into recovery with Kimmie, Bones begins to fill out again
Two months post-rescue, Bones is returning to normal health
Three months post-rescue, Bones has turned out to be a LARGE mustang and beautiful to boot
Five months after his life nearly ended from starvation, Bones is rehabilitated and adopted by the Hankins family, one of his many caregivers and supporters
Only 3 months later, Flynn was adopted by one of his foster/trainer’s students and will stay with his friends at Talisman Farm.
Congratulations
Hankins Family + Bones
Bones received an outpouring of support from the Las Vegas community – his story of survival epitomizes the L.E.A.N. mission – take those with no hope left, and give them another chance at life. Special thanks to:
