SAFER (Sonoma Action For Equine Rescue) has a program to help horse owners who are trying to hang on to the family's pets during these hard times. Hay and Feed are donated through the Donate A Bale program at all the local feed stores as well as supplied through a grant written by SAFER and granted by the national ASPCA. Criteria are as follows.
1. No Breeding of any kind for a minimum of two years.
2. Situation must be short term (3 months or less). Hay is provided one month at a time. SAFER may not be able to supply ALL the feed needs for that time period.
3. Assistance is granted when a complete application is submitted and a site check done. Documentation MUST be complete. This will include financial information as requested.
4. SAFER will also assist in rehoming horses if that is a better solution. SAFER has a web site and email alert list that actively tries to find homes for the animals. See SAFER Horse (https://www.saferhorse.com) for instructions on how to list your horse or sign up for the email alert list.
5. Participants will receive a “Gift Certificate” to a local feed store.
7. Feed must be used for the DESIGNATED HORSES for the time indicated. Feed must be protected from rain and rodents. Feed must not be sold, given away or shared with animals not so indicted on the application.
HAP is provided by donations from the public to a registered charity. SAFER has the SOLE RIGHT TO DETERMINE ELEGIBILITY.
Application and complete guidelines are available on the website. All donations are tax deductible. Please feel free to post and forward this information throughout our community.:heart:
