What Can You Do?
The Reward of Saving a Life, the Reality of the Cost
Saving a life is a priceless reward, but the costs involved are very real. The expenses for feed, veterinary care, farrier services, medications, transportation, and the purchase of the horses are all covered through donations and personal funding. It’s a significant undertaking, both financially and logistically. However, our unwavering commitment to the horses, combined with our hope that the inhumane slaughter practices will someday end, drives our determination to continue this vital work.
Your Support Makes a Difference
Every donation to SCCR goes directly toward the care and well-being of the horses we rescue. As a registered non-profit organization, we ensure that 100% of your contribution benefits the animals in need. Additionally, all donations over $25 are tax-deductible, providing not just an opportunity to help save lives, but also a valuable tax receipt for your generosity.
