Gerdas Equine Rescue Inc.

Gerdas Equine Rescue Inc. We are a 501(C)3 non profit, committed to rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming at risk equines.
(306)

Our commitment also extends to helping horses at risk by intervening before they get sent to auction. This means helping owners by giving them advice and tools to be better equipped to find a good solution for their horses. We network with other like minded rescues to help each other succeed in our mutual goal of creating a safer world for America's horses. When we have the room we will always try

to take in desperate horses that are not yet in the slaughter pipeline. We focus on public education which includes programs for school children who come to our rescue to help by volunteering weekly and learn of the plight of rescue horses.

UPDATE on new rescues~
A TWIST OF FATE HAS CHANGED OUR FUNDRAISER PLAN.
It has turned into a leap of faith for us.
We got a call saying our shipper will be passing by the Killpen, our 3 are in, and will be headed in our direction this evening for another drop off. There is room for our little group, should we be able to have everything ready to go.
We agreed this would be great, not only would the cost of shipping be less because now we are sharing the cost of the trip but more importantly, the sooner they get out of the pen, the less chance of them getting sick!
So now they should be on their way to VT!

I am hoping that anyone who can will still help us continue to fundraise. We only have $450 in donations (our fundraiser only started yesterday!)
Now we are paying Peter to pay Paul....so to speak. We took the $ out of our Winter Hay Fund.
IF anyone is willing to help us get them here, it would be a huge relief!!! TO DONATE:

Our Story

The plight of the helpless equines being sent to slaughter by the thousands every week is heartbreaking! Once in the slaughter pipeline their fate is pretty much sealed. Still, we have been able to rescue many who were at that point. We promise each one we save to be very careful and protect them from falling into that situation ever again.

Our commitment also extends to helping all equines at risk by intervening before they get sent to auction. This means helping owners by giving them advice and tools to be better equipped to find a good solution for their horses. We network with other like minded rescues to help each other succeed in our mutual goal of creating a safer world for Americas HORSES, MULES AND DONKEYS! When we have room we will always try to take in a desperate equines that are not yet in the slaughter pipeline. We focus on public education which includes programs for school children who come to our rescue to help by volunteering weekly and learn the plight of the voiceless equines they help us with. They learn compassion, caring and how to treat animals with dignity.

These children are the next generation of advocates for all animals, we depend on them today, to learn what they need to know when their tomorrow comes!
