Support Wandering Hearts Rescue's Mission

---

Jasmine Pierce

For a long as she can remember Jasmine has been bringing home animals of all kinds, and only once was turned away by her dad when she tried to bring a ball python home that belonged to a childhood friend.  Horses have always held her heart and she has personally taken in several rescues over the years.  

Nothing is more meaningful to Jasmine than helping a living being in need.  Starting Wandering Hearts Rescue has been something of her dreams for decades.  She knows this will likely be the most challening, and most rewarding endevor of her life!

She lives in Western North Carolina with her partner, 6 horses, 2 rescue dogs and their cat Fraser who came from the streets of Spartanburg.

Julia Lewis 

Julia grew up on a small island in Maine near Acadia National Park. She found her passion for horses at a very young age and discovered a love for the challenge of 3-day eventing.  Competing in eventing and dressage instilled a value for hard work and discipline. This background is what led her down the path of equine management. 

Julia has been managing farms and overseeing the care of equines for nearly a decade.  Her move from Maine to North Carolina with her husband and three rescue dogs was an exciting change!  She is thrilled to be a part of Wandering Hearts Rescue, and is looking forward to helping equine, and other large animals find peace again.

Bayard Bellinger

From his early childhood his mom created an environment for nurturing animals of all kinds, the trickiest were the pet geese at their home in Southern California.  His dad's family had a dairy farm and draft horses in Michigan and visits to nurse the calves are some of his most fond memories.

As an adult he feels blessed to call home in Western North Carolina with his rescue horse Walker where he enjoys trail riding, hiking and mountain biking.  He lives on his farm with his 6 horses, 2 rescue dogs Pepper and Bento, and their cat Fraser who truly runs the farm.  

Sara Roth

Sara grew up the daughter of a small animal veterinarian and the granddaughter of a barn manager, so her love of animals started early. Sara has been involved with animal rescue all her life- scaled, furry, or feathered, Sara has probably brought it home! She is currently a manager at The Farm House in Landrum, SC and holds her Master's Degree in Business. Sara lives with her 2 horses, 2 cats, and 2 dogs- all but her homebred Arab cross rescues. Her most recent rescue, a three-year-old Welsh pony cross was pulled out of Bowie Livestock hours before shipping to slaughter in Mexico.
