I have been donating and volunteering at this organization for almost two years, and I find Brent's (the president of Orphan Acres) dedication and tenacity inspiring. Currently, over 80 horses reside at this wonderful nonprofit, either living out their lives, or waiting to be adopted into a forever and loving home. Some horses are brought from horrific situations, and are then rehabilitated at this sanctuary. Most horses are brought in because the owner could either no longer care or afford the horse, so many of these horses have great potential and would make a great family pet. Going out and volunteering is really a great experience because you get to bond with all different kinds of horses, and help your community. This organization is in great need of help, for both manual labor, and financial expenses. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone.
I CANNOT EXPRESS HOW I CAN RELATE THE DEDICATION OF BRENT GLOVER IN HIS TAKING CARE OF SO MANY HORSES. THEY ARE ALL SEPERATED ACCORDING TO NEED. THEY ARE ALL WITH A NAME AND A STORY....SOME OF WHICH ARE ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE. I'VE KNOWN BRENT FOR MANY YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN SUPRISED BY HIS COMMITMENT TO TAKING A SPECIAL INTEREST IN EACH AND EVERY HORSE. THAT INCLUDES RAIN, OR SUNSHINE. I HAVE DONATED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO HIS CAUSE OVER THE YEARS INCLUDING HUNDREDS OF TONS OF HAY...FREE TO HIM WHEN HE NEEDED IT THE MOST. IF ANY OF YOU TRULY CARE ABOUT HORSES AND THEIR PROPER CARE, YOU WILL CONTRUBITE TO THIS GREAT CAUSE.

Orphan Acres is a special place full of horses who came from sometimes abhorrent places. It is run by a very special person. I met Brent Glover a few years ago and have been a donor since. He is the most dedicated person to the welfare of his animals.
For so many Orphan Acres is their last resort. But with the help of volunteers and donations, Brent keeps his facility running and provides shelter, food and LOVE for roughly 80 + horses throughout the year. I will keep on supporting Orphan Acres.
I visited Orphan Acres on Sunday, October 25th, 2015. It's an amazing place and doing really important work to save the lives of abused and abandoned horses. They've worked very hard to rehabilitate horses and find loving homes for many of them over the years. I'm making a donation today, and I encourage all people concern with animal welfare to join me in supporting Orphan Acres. Thank you, Brent for the big zucchini which I turned into zucchini bread when I returned home to Issaquah.
I am both a volunteer and donor at this fabulous organization. I know that every cent goes to the cause, which is why I have been donating and fundraising to Orphan Acres Inc. for several years now. I did a lot of fundraising such as yard sales, snow-shoveling driveways, and going to the local Farmer's Market to inform others of this amazing rescue in need of help. Financial stability is key for a successful rescue, especially when horses are involved since they tend to be very expensive to care for. I wish to see more efforts to help this organization and their life-saving work. More community involvement needs to take place for this non-profit to grow. Orphan Acres Inc. has been life-changing for me, because several years ago, I had a horse sponsored under my name, and was able to care for her myself. We went on walks, I brushed and fed her, and she had the most beautiful last years. Sponsoring a mare there was nothing short of a fantasy come true, since I had always wanted a horse to 'call my own'. She was the most beautiful thing that has come into my life, and I am so thankful that Orphan Acres Inc. made her senior years golden. If it weren't for Orphan Acres Inc., my sweet, sweet Cassidy wouldn't have had the life she so much deserved. Along with every other horse that has come through those gates, there is a story untold, a companion waiting for his/her new adoptive owner, and an individual unlike any other. Knowing that my fundraising and money goes to such a great cause makes my heart rise.
