We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to the compassionate care of equines. Our mission is to save, protect, and rehabilitate equines in need. We rescue abused, neglected, or abandoned equines; provide them with care and rehabilitation; and finally find them a compatible, loving home. We believe that education is the long-term solution to improving the lives of equines.
All of our horses are quarantined and then placed in approved foster homes where they are rehabilitated and socialized. Once the horses are rehabilitated, we adopt them out to pre-aproved homes. Our criteria is the best match for each horse and we feel adoption is for the life of the equine. USERL maintains ownership of the horses so that we may do follow up checks on the horses we adopt out and to ensure that they will be protected for the remainder of their life.
Being that we rely on foster homes, we have no set hours. If you are interested in volunteering or starting a USERL region in your areah, please visit our website - we are wherever we have volunteers! We speak for pony clubs, 4H groups, girl scouts, ect. as well as host a 3 day Equine Cruelty Investigator Course. Information on that can be found on our website.
