Paws Ranch Equine Rescue

Bostic, North Carolina

Cause Description:
Paws Ranch Equine Rescue, Inc., is a 501(c)3, volunteer-based, animal welfare organization established in 2006 to ensure quality care and treatment of horses through intervention, education and outreach. Our Tax ID #: 27-1964906. Since its inception, PRERI has gone from a small non-profit sheltering a few horses annually and has become a well respected rescue and rehabilitation facility housing 25 to 45 horses at any given time. All horses come through animal control and/or humane agencies, Sheriff's Department and surrounding counties. Some are given up or surendered voluntarily and turned over to PRERI immediately; others are turned over only after their neglect and/or abuse case has been decided in court, which can take up to a year. Others come to us to be rehomed due to financial or medical reasons of the horse owner. On the day the horse arrives at PRERI,staff and volunteers help transport the horses to our safe facility where they can receive needed care by our on site veterinarian. Horses coming to PRERI enter the Quarantine or critical Care Unit and Extended Care Program. Their conditions range from starvation/malnutrition, hoof deformity and parasitic infestation, to skin funguses, unatttended wounds and crippling ailments. After their rehabilitation, which can take many months and after their court cases where necessary the horses are evaluated and trained to increase their adoptability. They may need ground training (haltering, leading, tying, etc.) and work under saddle. Once the horses are assessed, trained, and a final vet check, staff and volunteers work to find them permanent homes to be adopted out, rehomed or fostered.
