Mission: I would like to tell you a little about our rescue. We are a 501© 3 horse and livestock rescue in the north end of Terre Haute, In. We have been up and running for 3 years now. We take in equines and other livestock that has been seized by animal control or beloved pets that are victims of current economic crisis also equines that are set to go to slaughter. We want to prevent cruelty and starvation to horses, donkeys and livestock. We us the Henneke body condition scoring chart to rate the ideal body condition. This is used by many veterinarians. We have 3 mini donkeys, jennies, 5 mini horses and 2 goats that live here at the rescue. We take them to day cares, schools and nursing homes to teach people about the care animals need also to let people know what we do at the rescue. We also do open house every weekend during warm weather to let the kids and public visit our rescue and interact with the animals. We have special need adults from C. A. R. S. and Community Connection. They come out once a month to work with the minis. My husband and I run the rescue with all volunteers we have no paid employees.
