Heart of Phoenix Equine Rescue, a 501©3 organization is based in Huntington, but we work across West Virginia, offering rescue to horses and providing counties and law enforcement assistance in horse neglect and abuse cases throughout Appalachia. We are the foremost organization of this type in our state.
In addition to saving horses living in cruel and negligent situations, we offer no cost equine services to families experiencing temporary hardship, allowing them to care for their horses during a job loss. Additionally we offer no-cost training to sheriffs’ departments and animal control units to educate their officers on safety and procedure when handling horses.
Our efforts have garnered positive recognition throughout the United States, with our director winning an international equine welfare award this year in NYC this November by the ASPCA. Heart of Phoenix has been featured in many major publications and magazines, as well as invites to attend national conferences as an authority on horse advocacy. The local media has frequently covered the organization’s efforts, and we have a very well established online presence to an audience over 250,000 and above between our frequently used social media outlets, website and blog.
When sheriffs or animal control officers in counties through West Virginia need assistance to handle large or small equine cases,
Heart of Phoenix steps in covering all costs in counties often otherwise unable to cover the high board and vet costs of neglected horses, as well as offering free statewide accredited training for Law enforcement and prosecutors. We also offer aid to horses in desperate situations, and we provide no cost equine services to senior citizens and others in need who loves their horses but have limited incomes.
Because of our efforts since 2009, we believe there has been a notable reduction in poor equine care statewide and our counties are better equipped to handle equine cruelty complaints. Over 500 have recovered through Heart of Phoenix and been placed into caring homes.
We are looking for sponsors who want to give back to our volunteer team by covering the cost of their HOP year end gala ticket.
Each year we give those unable to attend a way to help someone who works with us day in and out a way to go the gala and still help support the work of HOP by that attendance.
If you want to sponsor a volunteer, it is $50, and if you know of a particular volunteer you really appreciate, please note it when you PM me or email or in the Paypal notes.
Equinerescue@live.com is our paypal address.
