URGENT RESCUE

Dear Friends,

Horses have been pouring into the feedlot lately, at 2-3 times the normal rate. Last week over 100 horses were brought in. Two loads have already been shipped to slaughter. We are trying desperately to save as many of the rest as we can. The horses must be paid for by the end of the day Monday, 9/7/09 to be saved.

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!
