I only volunteered at Orphan Acres a couple of times. Wish I would have gone more often especially since I don't live in that area now. I don't have much horse experience, but everyone was made to feel welcome. I most enjoyed going out to the barns, feeding/grooming. There's always work to be done here. I'm sure Brent can use help any day/time.

I have been working with Orphan Acres, Horse Rescue for two years. I love all animals, especially horses and when I met Brent Glover from Orphan Acres, the summer of 2009, on the internet, I had to go up to Viola, Idaho and meet him and the horses he has rescued. I flew up 3 times the summer of 2010. Brent has 75 abused, abandoned and orphaned horses that he takes care of. Some of them have been so abused, they can never be rehomed. He has found homes for 2500. In the 35 years, he has devoted his life to taking care of horses, he knows each of them by name. They respond to him, run to him and he is like the Horse Whisperer. I relocated from Tucson, AZ up to Princeton, Idaho to help him with fund raising and also take care of my "Horse fix.". I had 3 of his horses this summer on my 8 acres. I brought my husband, my 4 rescue dogs and 3 indoor cats. Brent is loved and respected by all of the people in the Palouse Community. That entails the City of Moscow, the City of Pullman, Washington, Troy, Viola and other surrounding cities. He has many volunteers that come out to help take care of the horses and we also have Washington State Vet students that come out to get experience with taking care of the horses. I highly recommend this sanctuary and respect the work that Brent does. Come out and visit us or see us on the internet at www.orphanacres.org.

Being able to go out to Orphan Acres Inc. and do good work - knowing that it is helping both people and animals is a great feeling. It doesn't feel like volunteer work -it feels good, its not boring, not hard and most of all it IS important. Brent Glover was nice enough to allow Alpha Rho Chi the opportunity to help build a new barn for the horses. We are rushing to get it done before winter and although we have run into challenges throughout the process of the build so far we are constantly learning and making progress. We are able to harness our skills to give back to the horses and community. We are lucky to have this opportunity to work and use our skills to help the horses in need.

In a time of an unstable economy many people are leave their pets. One of the hardest hit industries is the equine industry. Brent Glover of Orphan Acres Inc. has taken it upon himself to home these animals in hopes they can find love and a family somewhere else. They always have something different to do when volunteering. Sense volunteers are the main support of the rescue I find myself doing different things everyday. My only wish is that this place be more organized for volunteers, other then that is warm welcoming and I feel like I am helping and making a difference.
