For pellet food, seed and grains, you need metal trash cans with lids. A medium-sized can will hold a little more than 100 pounds of feed. Most heavy-duty plastic containers will be chewed through by rodents. If the metal lids won't stay on tightly, put a heavy rock or brick atop them to keep animals from pulling them off. Some places find a rodent-proof shed necessary for storing grains if they need to store lots of bags in the open.

Wishlist — most-needed items
The following non-cash items would be extremely helpful. Used but good condition is fine. (For less pressing but still needed wishlist items, click here.)
* Chain-link panels — These would be used to build isolation pens. When new animals come to the sanctuary, they must be kept separate from the others for about 30 days to determine if it's safe from a disease standpoint to introduce them.
* Feed, straw, hay — Any feed, straw or hay will be put to good use. These may be broken bags from stores, straw bales left over from decorations or hay no longer needed if animals die.
* Old towels — These are used for cleaning up and for bedding material, especially for sick animals.
* Horse panels — These allow us to quickly put up temporary pens almost anywhere.
* Bird seed — We feed hundreds of wild birds year-round at CockadoodleMoo and seed is always appreciated.
