Happy Tails Rescues

April kept the Virginia Range rescue teams quite busy! While everyone wants to keep the foals in the wild with their families, sometimes human intervention is necessary. This proved true in the cases of Sinclair, Goliath, Carter and Stitch. You can learn about their stories and how they are doing now here!

A huge thank you to all the volunteers involved in the rescue and ongoing care of these sweet babies.

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.
