Naming Opportunities
The Pot Bellied Pig Playhouse
The staff at Longmeadow Rescue Ranch is rescuing
an increasingly large number of potbellied pigs. In
fact, on July 12, 40 pot bellied pigs were rescued
from Ste. Genevieve County. Additionally, other small
animals including goats and small donkeys have been
rescued and need a structure in which to reside. The
estimated cost of this building is $150,000.00.
Safe Stay Stables
There are many animals at Longmeadow that are very
capable of thriving with little supervision. This
building will be a renovation of an existing, antiquated
structure and will serve as a resting place for those
animals that spend most of their time in the pasture.
It will include stables and a feed and tack room
so staff will have what is needed to provide the
animals with the care they deserve. The estimated
cost of renovation is $110,000.00.
Menagerie Barn
As the name of this building suggests, the Menagerie
Barn is designed to house a variety of animals and,
in particular, those that are permanent residents
of the Ranch because they have become mascots used
for educational purposes. Longmeadow staff members
transport these mascots to special educational events
that are regularly planned for both children and
adults. The cost of renovation of this building is
estimated to be $95,000.00.
Healing Bay Barn
This building is designed for those animals that
must be quarantined or receive special care. All
animals will be placed in this building immediately
after they are rescued until a veterinarian checks
them. It is necessary for some of the animals to
receive long-term care for serious injuries or illnesses.
Others need to be quarantined to prevent the other
animals from becoming ill as a result of having been
exposed to a contagious disease. Construction of
this building is estimated to be $180,000.00.
Staff Office
The Ranch Manager and Education Director share an
office, which is fully equipped with a computer and
an updated phone system in the Longmeadow Learning
Center. Previously, all personnel had been sharing
a combination office/break room. Work will be accomplished
much more efficiently in an appropriate work space
with upgraded equipment. Cost of the office, the
furniture and equipment is $25,000.00.
Feed Rooms
Five different feed rooms will be located in the
various barns. Special food is needed for many of
the animals since some are elderly, some are still
recovering from abuse and neglect and some have chronic
conditions with specific nutritional needs. The cost
of each of these rooms is $10,000.00.
Horse Stalls
Each barn housing horses will include state of the
art horse stalls. They will have continuous watering
systems and feed troughs that open out so staff does
not have to enter each stall in order to feed the
animals. Each of these stalls cost $7,500.00.
