Angel Acres Horse Haven Rescue (www.saveahorsenow.org) is pleased to announce that they are the recipient of a grant from The EQUUS Foundation, Inc. The EQUUS Foundation is dedicated to securing homes and useful lives for horses, enhancing the lives of people who benefit from horses, and educating the public on the significant impact horses have in our every day lives.

“We are extremely excited to have received this grant from The EQUUS Foundation. The snow of February 2010 took a heavy toll on all of our outbuildings and this will help tremendously with our rebuilding efforts,” said Jo Deibel, Founder and Director of Angel Acres Horse Haven Rescue.

She explained that these funds will greatly help in her efforts to care for and assist the Thoroughbreds available for adoption at Angel Acres. Angel Acres Horse Haven Rescue is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit rescue dedicated to saving horses bound for slaughter for human consumption. In addition, they assist in cases of neglect and abuse. Thoroughbreds are rescued from kill pens and adopted into loving forever homes. All adoption applicants and horses up for adoption are screened thoroughly.
