There are several ways you can help the horses at Last Chance. We depend on our supporters through their various networking efforts and generous donations to find homes and funds to save our equine friends! If you would like to help our efforts, here are some ways you can do that...
Of course the fastest way for us to help them is to find them homes and get them out quickly. If you are able to offer a home to one of our horses in need we will forever be grateful for you opening up your home as a soft place to land! You may read more about our home offer rules in the FAQs section or you may reach out to one of our volunteers. You may also join our saved horses group on Facebook to see so many stories of lives saved through Last Chance.
We would not be able to accomplish all that we are able to without the help of our generous donors! If you would like to contribute to our cause through donations, we have a few options. You may contribute to our general fund and we will use that to help our most urgent, or you may contribute to a horse with a home offer that is currently fundraising to get home.
Our volunteers work tirelessly to get the word out about the horses in need, but our circles only go so far. We need your help to reach more people! This is a great option for those who don't have space to offer a home or funds to send donations but still want to help... and SHARES MATTER! Through those helping us to network, we are able to funnel and endless need of homes for these horses. You can share all the horses in need directly from our Facebook page or even create your own posts. We appreciate any sharing efforts you give!
Another way to help Last Chances Horses is to support our efforts. Leave us a review, tag us in Facebook recommendations, and simply let people know we are here. There are many people who do not support saving from kill pens and we fully understand that is their choice. However, our mission to save those with NO ONE ELSE COMING is put at risk from some that promote against us. Show your support for kill pen rescue and help these horses have one final shot at life.
And finally one of the most forgotten ways that people can help support kill pen rescue is to prevent the horses from ever ending up here in the first place. We encourage people to intercept horses at auction, be vigilant when re-homing their equine, practice responsible breeding, geld their studs and alert people with "Free to good home" listings about the dangers their horses face if they end up in the wrong hands.
We also ask that people support rescues who also pull from kill pens so they can save even more. Rescues are packed to the brim and they need our support as well. For those uneasy about purchasing a horse from a kill pen, or those with less horse experience, we encourage you to check with a local rescue. We understand that a kill pen horse is not for everyone. Supporting a rescue who also helps save from kill pens is still a way for you to help those being threatened with slaughter.
And last but not least, contact your local officials and let them know you stand with Last Chance Horses in opposition to the slaughter of all American horses and their export for that purpose. Together we can bring light to this devastating act and save thousands of horses from shipping to their fate each year.
