Mission Statement
At Good Shepherd, our mission is twofold: to rescue, restore, and find forever homes for equines in need, and to offer transformative equine-assisted programs for individuals and families from diverse backgrounds. Established in 2011 as a horse rescue initiative, we operate as a 501c3 charitable organization, driven by compassion and dedication to the well-being of both humans and horses.
About This Cause
Good Shepherd Healing Minisitreis Horse Rescue was established in 2011 with the aim of providing care, rehabilitation, and rehoming for horses in need. However, in September of 2023, the program encountered significant challenges that threatened its existence. Tragically, the owner and president of the rescue, Maria Jones, passed away, leaving a void in leadership and a sense of uncertainty among the staff and volunteers. Adding to the already difficult situation, Good Shepherd Healing Ministries Horse Rescue faced the daunting prospect of potential code violation fines amounting to over $40,000. This financial burden, coupled with the looming threat of having their beloved horses seized due to inadequate care, created a sense of urgency within the organization. The future of the rescue and the well-being of the horses hung in the balance. Despite these overwhelming obstacles, the community rallied together to support Good Shepherd Healing Ministries Horse Rescue. In a remarkable display of unity and determination, the organization underwent a transformative journey in just five months. To honor Maria Jones and her legacy, Maria’s son, Thomas Quinlan, joined the team. Good Shepherd is working on developing a new name as we start our next journey. GSHM stands as a testament to the power of collective effort and compassion. It is an Experiential Learning Center and Rescue, designed by Thomas Quinlan. the first of its kind, specifically designed to cater to the unique needs of rescue horses. The facility provides an optimal environment for the horses, ensuring their physical and emotional well-being. Through meticulous care, the horses have regained their health, happiness, and a newfound sense of calm. Are we a rescue? Yes, we focus on restoring our horses, creating relationships, and improving their path to adoption! None of this would have been possible without the incredible support of the volunteers who selflessly devote their time and energy to the cause. Their dedication and love for the horses has been instrumental in the success of GSHM. The organization extends its heartfelt gratitude to everyone who played a part in this remarkable journey. With renewed hope and determination, GSHM eagerly looks forward to the future and is excited to see where their vision will lead them next.
