My Nonprofit Reviews

I’ve been following Skydog Sanctuary on social media for several years. Founder Clare Staples is not only a tireless and passionate advocate and educator for one of our fast-disappearing national treasures, the American mustang, she is inexhaustible in her mission to save these horses and bring them home to sanctuary at Skydog.
Clare’s personal ethic is one of love, kindness, compassion and generosity, qualities that are, in my opinion, essential to running a successful nonprofit. During rescue missions, she not only searches for horses that were torn apart from eachother during roundups, she also consistently offers a spot in her trailer to the forgotten, unwanted, and unremarkable, simply because their lives are just as precious as the others. In spite of the reality of donor competition, Clare is very generous with her advice and experience with other rescuers when they seek her guidance as they develop their own nonprofits.
As a financial supporter of this nonprofit, I clearly see my donated dollars at work as I read Clare’s daily social media and Patreon posts. My heart is moved, often to tears, as rescue stories unfold while Clare and her team reunite these magnificent creatures with their band mates and family members. I never knew there was such a thing as a BLM roundup, or Long Term Holding, or kill pens, or the tragic Adoption Incentive Program, until I started following Skydog and began the heartbreaking journey to awareness.
If I had to pick only one animal rescue nonprofit to follow and support financially, it would most definitely be Skydog Sanctuary!
