Photos from Horse Plus Humane Society's post 💜 Donations Needed! 💜
This morning we saw two free horses being given away on Facebook. We were immediately concerned for them because this is exactly what kill buyers and feedlot operators look for and we wanted to get these horses help before kill buyers swooped in to pick them up.
We contacted the owner and scheduled to go pick them up. When we arrived we found that they were not horses but are ponies. One is extremely old and her health is failing, the other one has arthritis pretty bad in one of her front knees and both of them have horrible hooves. With the health complications they both have, we don’t know what their futures will be, but we are going to love them and do everything we can and follow our veterinarian’s advice for them.
We were able to talk with the owners about why giving away horses for free can jeopardize the horse’s future and ultimately they will most likely end up being shipped to slaughter. We gave brochures to the owner and ask them to pass them on to anyone else that may have a horse they can no longer keep. We are an open admission shelter and never turn a horse away.
Donations are needed to help with intake expenses for these two new arrivals. Rescuing is costly, there’s transport expenses, intake expenses and medical expenses, it all adds up. Any donations are greatly appreciated.
