Miyagi is our blue eyed boy. Daniel could only have one pet at his apartment, so of course, we took in Miyagi!

Max and Sam are the OGs. Sheree found them at a drug store parking lot when they were tiny kittens.

The Chickens

It all started with chickens. That wasn’t the intended start, but we have fallen in love with our feathered friends! Buffy was one of our original girls. Dottie came from the Gwinnett Humane Society. Preacher was a rescue from a cock fighting ring! He flew to us all the way from Washington State!

The Minis

The minis came from a rescue in Tennessee. We had visited them to learn about donkeys so, when the owner needed to rehome them we were excited to bring them to Heavy Metal.
