Bhumi, meaning “Earth” in Sanskrit, joined us with her friend Priya at around 2 years old. A neighbor of a small Florida farm connected with the two girls over the fence, often bringing them treats. The neighbor eventually started chatting with the landowner, who stated that the girls were to be slaughtered. Hearing this, the neighbor continued talking to the farm’s owner and eventually got permission to seek an alternative forever placement for them.
Bhumi has been confident from the start, loading onto the trailer and settling into sanctuary life relatively easily. Her friend Priya took several days to get to the sanctuary due to her fear of loading onto the trailer. Once she was reunited with her friend, Priya would often look to Bhumi before approaching new situations. Bhumi quickly demonstrated to Priya that the Critter Creek Team could be trusted, as we would bring them supplemental feed while they are held in the vet area before being cleared to be integrated into an established herd. She would wait happily by her feed bucket, and her presence gave Priya the confidence to learn their new routine. She is very alert, but strong, and will approach new people with sniffs.
Bhumi also recently became an aunt to Priya’s new baby boy. She has been incredibly gentle with Baby Moo, of course, giving him many sniffs. Priya trusts Bhumi with her little one and is happy to allow her to watch over him while she checks out her hay roll on the opposite end of their nursery area.
