We are providing a very small list of equine rescues and sanctuaries.

If the organization is listed on this page (or not) we strongly suggest that you carefully vet any rescue or sanctuary before dontating, or surrendering an equine, or adopting a horse or other equine.

Each of the rescues/organizations has, as far as we can tell, charitable status in Canada or the United States BUT again, please do your own research.

This is by no means a complete list, NOR does this list mean that we endorse these organizations.

If you have others you’d suggest we list, please feel free to contact us.

Most rescues and sanctuaries are constantly on the look out for volunteers.  

Even if you don’t have hands on experience with equines you may have other skill sets that can be advantageous to an organization.  

Don’t be shy, reach out, ask what they need help with.
