About US
What we do and why we need your help
We work in part with local Animal Control officers. We love and appreciate those officers so very much, and we recognize all the hard work they do, BUT there is sadness in knowing that there is a very limited budget at the county and state levels for taking on the care and keeping of the animals that are seized from the abuse and neglect situations.
If HNBAR or other rescues are not there to take on the animals seized, then law enforcement is limited in the help that they can give. Some animals are left with no help and may die and there are some counties that have no choice but to encourage people to send abused and neglected animals to auction where predatory meat buyers can buy them. For some horses this means long trips to Canada or Mexico for slaughter for foreign dinner tables (See Slaughter Facts). For Draft horses this can mean long flights to Japan for slaughter. There are many “buyers” there at the auction that are buying those animals as cheaply as possible and then they “flip” the animal to make a profit not caring about their health or behavioral history, thus putting the horses and the people that buy them at risk. These neglected and abused animals that thought that life was going to get better after months or years of suffering are not adopted and are not given the chance to become a cherished companion or spoiled family pet.
There is a big mental health component to our work. We work with hospice to take animals when their owners are no longer able to care for them. We have had the honor of taking pets to visit their owners while the owners were in hospice care. We give owners great piece of mind knowing their animal friend are taken care of. We work with kill shelters to take some of their non adoptable dogs and giving them a chance at a future. Animal welfare is hard work emotionally especially when animals have to be put down giving deputies and staff hope helps battle compassion fatigue. We also allow visitors a chance to meet animals and learn about their journeys. Animals help bring peace and healing to people that love them.
Rescues take on these animals from their hearts, and not their pocketbooks so that they can truly give these animals the bright and sunny outcome we all hope for; however, this cannot happen without YOU! More than ever we need the help and support of friends like you. We need you to effect change and improve the lives of these poor abused and neglected animals. Can you help give them a chance to be loved, cherished, safe and healthy? A small gift can help make that happen today.

OUR PROGRAMS & PARTNERSHIPS

Our rescue:
We take in hundreds of animals every year. Our main focuses are horses and small dogs, but we also take in all kinds of farm animals and exotic pets. Pet food bank and owner assistance We provide food for animals in our community. Our goal is to offer a hand up for families during rough times so pets can stay in their homes. We can sometimes assist with vet bills for families facing an emergency. Our new rescue house is going to grant us the opportunity to offer low cost veterinary services in the future.
