Our Animals

The animals at Little Friends, LLC are accustomed to children and are gentle creatures. Children will always be closely supervised near animals and we will be teaching them how to care for and behave around them. Safety is the highest priority and that begins with following basic procedures.

Please read and discuss the following items with your child.

• Always treat animals gently and calmly. Never hurt, tease, frighten, surprise or corner an animal.
• Attempting to lift or push animals can cause injury and animals may react unpredictably.
• People can get sick when they forget to wash their hands right after touching an animal or its habitat. Younger children are more likely to get sick because their immune systems are still developing. They also are more likely to put their fingers or other items into their mouths, which can cause them to become infected.
• Insects can sometimes be fascinating for children. Some children enjoy playing with and picking up insects. It’s very important to teach your children that insects are not playthings, especially bees and wasps.
• There are certain areas that are out of bounds and the children will respect the rules and follow all instructions regarding these.

We have one horse and one pony. The children will be able to feed and groom them.

The horse is named Fancy

The Pony is named Coco and she is small and gentle and can be ridden by small children.

We have five miniature goats. They are young and small, and children can pet and play with them.

We have four rabbits. The oldest, Conejita, is 4 years old. There are three babies. The children will be able to hold and pet them.

We have three dogs. A Golden Retriever named Pisco and a miniature Chihuahua named Captain Awesome and a Goldendoodle named Gypsy. They are very kid-friendly but kept in their own area on the porch and not in the house.
