We only have 1 day left and we really need your help to save horses at the auction tomorrow. As you no doubt know, horses that are sold at auction often end up being shipped to slaughter within hours of being sold.  Killer buyers prowl the auction, nodding their brief consent to the auctioneer when […]

This weekend we are going to be attending a livestock auction and we need your help to save lives.  Our goal is to raise $6,000 for the rescue, care, training and sheltering of as many slaughter bound horses as possible.  We need your help!  Please donate right now to help save horses from the slaughter […]

Sunday the shelter was closed to the public because of the rain, but all the staff was very busy.  It was a torrential downpour all weekend long. Thanks to our wonderful shelter and indoor round-pen, Kirsty was able to keep working with the horses.  She gave Ginger a little make-over, which Ginger really enjoyed. After […]

Once they were loaded up Jason […]

There is a great opportunity to support Angel and get a t-shirt to show your support of animal rescue.  A portion of the t-shirt sales will go to help Angel and other horses like her.  In the post Hendricks Boards first put up it was a little confusing as Angel is already safe, but she […]

Steve is back working at the shelter.  Sadly his “adoption” failed (for those of you who don’t know, he moved away after getting engaged) and he was returned to the shelter.  We are more than happy to have him back and will be screening potential homes for him more thoroughly.  It is great having him […]

This blog is from Tawnee’s perspective, it was the busiest day she’s had in a very long time and she wants to share it with you. “The big day had finally arrived, it was the 1st pick-up day for trainers to get their horses for our Extreme Rescue Makeover event. I was so excited that […]

We would like to update you on Angel, the little blind foal at our shelter who is a permanent resident. When we rescued Angel she was scared and confused.  She was also very sick.  Her little life was only worth $5 at the auction.  She had been dumped at two auctions, she had 2 different […]
