Mission Statement: Save a Life Horse Rescue, Inc. acquires and cares for abused, neglected, unwanted, and slaughter-bound horses regardless of age, breed, sex, injury, illness, or behavior. We provide rescued horses with appropriate medical care and emotional support, proper nutrition, safe shelter, and appropriate training administered by skilled and compassionate handlers. When every other option has been exhausted, we believe in alleviating a horse's suffering under the advice and care of the veterinarian via humane euthanasia. We are committed providing safe and proper care to horses, but we are also committed to advocating safe and proper care of horses through public awareness campaigns such as clinics and seminars. We are dedicated to working with our future horse-owning generation, providing special opportunities for youth groups and underserved children. We ensure proper placement of horses into foster care and permanent homes by implementing rigid foster care and adoption guidelines.  

Save a Life Horse Rescue, Inc. is an IRS recognized 501(c) (3) tax exempt organization.

Location: We are located in the North Central Pennsylvania area (Bradford County).

We are primarily an equine rescue; however, we will never turn down a large animal that cannot be surrendered to a “dog and cat” shelter.

Our rescue operation follows the guidelines for equine rescue and retirement facilities established by the American Association of Equine Practitioners, the Animal Welfare Institute, and The Humane Society of United States.

All horses in the rescue program receive routine veterinary care as well as emergency care if needed. This care includes a Coggins test and other bloodwork, updated vaccinations, deworming (every 2 months), dental care, and regular farrier care. When healthy enough, all horses receive a microchip for identification. The rescue horses are also given supplements if needed, for example, nutritional (i.e., vitamins/minerals, probiotics) or medicinal (for conditions such as arthritis or Cushing's disease). Horses are also provided complementary therapies as needed, including, but not limited to, chiropractic, acupuncture, homeopathic, etc. Once rehabilitated, all horses undergo a training evaluation prior to being listed as available for adoption.
