My Nonprofit Reviews

In a state where anyone can decide they are a " rescue" without licensing or oversight, Dorset Equine Rescue stands out in part because they have actively sought ( and achieved) certification by a global animal welfare organization. In every way, DER goes above and beyond what they *have* to do to support horses in need. They work hard to improve horse welfare on multiple levels: from hands- on rescue and rehabilitation to contacting legislators to pass better laws for animal protection, to offering educational opportunities to law enforcement and the community. I am inspired by their dedication and professionalism and am proud to be a DER volunteer!
