Monthly Highlights

There’s much to read about on our range this month: Meet Shannon, a life-long lover of horses who is an active member of the rescue team!

Then read a tale about a sweet puppy named Tater who helped solve an issue with a mare named Granny.

And meet “Rascal Randall”, the fourth generation of a family of Virginia Range horses that Deb Sutherland has known and photographed!

Happy Tails Rescues

Read about a young orphaned colt who just wanted to be with other horses. Which is exactly what he got for Christmas.

And then about a domesticated mustang who took an unscheduled romp on the range and how the rescue team got her back!

Please use the above number if you see horses or foals injured, sick, or at risk. Where does your call go? Your call goes to a 24/7 answering service that will connect with an on-call volunteer. From there volunteers, proper agencies and organizations will be dispatched. This includes, but is not limited to, local organizations, a large animal rescue team, and the sheriff's office in the corresponding area.
