SAVE A FORGOTTEN EQUINE

Redmond, Washington, 98073-2769 United States

Mission Statement

We are Save a Forgotten Equine (SAFE) Horse Rescue. Our horses come to us from dire situations of neglect and abuse. They arrive at our rescue hungry, weak, and afraid. First we restore their health, then we provide the training and handling they need to succeed, and then, when they’re ready, we carefully select the best possible adoptive home. Facing equine suffering and despair is difficult, but our reward is seeing the life come back into the eyes of these horses, watching them regain the shine and spirit of good health, and knowing that a brighter future awaits each one.

About This Cause

Since 2005, SAFE has been rescuing and rehabilitating horses that have been starved, neglected, or abused. We work with Animal Control agencies to support their efforts to protect horses at risk. SAFE also provides assistance to horse owners struggling to care for their animals in the current economy. SAFE is deeply committed to its rescued horses. We have extensive experience in equine rehabilitation and have successfully brought many neglected horses back from the brink of starvation. All of our horses are provided with routine vet care, dental care, vaccinations, and farrier care. Once a horse has been rehabilitated, we carefully evaluate them to discover their strengths and suitabilities, and we provide many of these horses with professional training to help ensure them a safe and productive future. Once a horse is ready for a permanent home, SAFE undertakes a rigorous screening process to find the ideal placement. We carefully review applications, check references, and conduct site visits, to finding a long-term home that will benefit both horse and adopter. After a horse is placed, annual follow-up visits are conducted to ensure the animal’s continued well-being. Despite our years of success helping horses in the local area, SAFE remains a small, modest organization that operates on a shoestring budget and works hard to make every penny count. We have minimal management expenses, no fundraising budget, and only two paid employees. The heart of SAFE is our volunteers — from our Board of Directors to our weekend warriors out on the farm — an incredible group of people who believe in SAFE’s mission and give the best of their talents and energy to make it succeed.
