Rescue 100 Foundation

A herd of 100 horses was seized by the ASPCA from a northern Alberta ranch in February 2008.  Several dead animals including 27 horses were found at the site of the seizure.  The Rescue 100 Foundation was formed in a matter of days when this story hit the news.  A group of local horse enthusiasts came together for a massive rescue operation.  Rather than allowing the animals to go to auction, a local farm owner offered her property to foster the horses until they could be rehabilitated.  Once the animals are healthy enough, they will be placed into approved homes.  The Rescue 100 Foundation will not profit from these efforts.  Donations are desperately required to help these horses on their journey to a full recovery.

Rescue 100 Foundation is a registered society.

PLEASE VISIT THEIR SITE AND SEE IF YOU CAN HELP!! www.rescue100.com 

The folllowing event is donating all proceeds to Rescue 100.
