We are raising funds to pull them to safety, and simultaneously looking for rescues and/or adoptive homes that are willing/able to take horses into their care.

If you have space in your home/heart for a horse, please send your inquiry via email to valleyviewranch@gmail.com. The person handling placement of the horses will get back to you.

If you are unable to adopt, but want to help save these horses, please go to www.paypal.com and send funds to equineangel22@yahoo.com.

The horses and I thank you for your support!

P.S. With your help, we’ve been able to save over 700 horses from slaughter since 4/06. Please help us save these too!

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world; indeed it is the only thing that ever has.
