Archer: Three rescued horses need your help. Their caregiver has been rescuing, sheltering and advocating for horses, greyhounds, and other animals for more than20 years. Now she is experiencing financial difficulties due to the expense of caring for special needs animals, has been forced to sell her farm, and will soon undergo back surgery. She desperately needs a home for her beloved horses. These sweet animals are elderly, 20 or 21 years old, and have some health problems, but they could have years of happy life ahead of them. If you can foster or adopt any or all of them, please contact Mary.

The horses came from a cruelty case involving 80 Thoroughbreds who were rescued from severe starvation and neglect. The horses have received lots of handling and care since the rescue and are ready for permanent homes. They range in age, color and temperament. If you can provide one, or more, of these horses with the loving home they deserve, please contact Vicki at the Finger Lakes SPCA.

Birchrunville: An 11-year-old Welsh/Morgan gelding named Kiwi is in need of a loving home. Kiwi stands 12.2 hands tall and is dark brown in color. He has been blind due to spontaneous retinal detachment since he was six years old. He is very friendly, well-mannered and stands well for the vet and farrier, as well as for grooming. Kiwi gets around well in a safe, fenced pasture and coexists well with non-aggressive companions. He is up-to-date on vaccinations and coggins. Kiwi lives on a farm that was recently sold to settle assets and his current caregiver is unemployed and cannot afford the cost of boarding him. If you can provide Kiwi with a good home that will meet his special needs, please contact Margaret.

Please note: The vegan lifestyle, which Farm Sanctuary promotes, generally precludes the use of animals. Domesticated companion animals are an obvious exception, because well treated companions define an issue of relationship rather than one of exploitation. Horses are exploited at the slaughterhouse by some, while cherished by others. We condemn the capture of wild horses, and we are against the indiscriminate use of horses as commodities, situations in which they’re too often abused, as with horse racing, horse rentals and horse-drawn carriage rentals. We fully recognize that horses born into domesticity can have the best of lives in the care of conscientious caregivers.
