I became a volunteer at LCAR when I moved to Oregon almost 2 years ago. It is a way of giving back to all the horses I have owned and loved. No one is paid for anything, work or donations. We get nothing from the county or state to support the horses that are siezed and all the medical and feed is a gift to bring them back to health. Everyone gives their all for the horses. Many are permanent residents as they have medical issues, but we give our all to make their lives happy. It is very rewarding work.

Because this organization has no paid employees, 100% of everything donated goes back to the rescued animals. It is great way to know your donation will be used entirely for the reason you wanted to give it, to help the abused and neglected animals. The animals are treated with loving hands on care, each one has its own special needs. Give from the heart and help a "VERIFIED" non profit organization save the lifes of neglected horses and give them a second chance at life.

I was looking for a way to give back to my community when I came across Linn County Animal Rescue's website. The open house gave me an opportunity to tour the faculty. Its very impressive to see so many horses looking so happy and healthy after seeing their before pictures. The dedication shown by the founding members impressed me so much that I decided to become a volunteer. Giving my time to a rescue which is focused on my passion, Horses, meeting like minded people and working towards a common goal; Has been a wonderful experience!

I found out about the Linn County Animal Rescue when my daughter decided to do a 4-H presentation about the rescue. After attending a volunteer meeting we immediately became volunteers ourselves. I was suprised to learn that the organization is the only one of its kind in the state of Oregon and they rely soley on donations for funding. They take in neglected and abused horses seized by the sheriffs department, bring them back to good health, and try to find approved loving homes for them to be fostered or adopted. These horses often have special needs when they come to the facility. I have witnessed first hand how local veterinarians, farriers,volunteers and businesses donate their expertise, time and money to help. It is amazing to watch a starved, scared horse come to the facility and realize that it will be cared for and fed on a regular basis. My daughter and I are proud to be a part of the Linn County Animal Rescue.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
I see all the donations made to the rescue go straight back into the care and feeding of the horses.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
have people on a waiting list to adopt horses rather than horses waiting to be adopted!
