Community Engagement: Animals
Begin Again Horse Rescue
- Mission: To provide a safe environment for unwanted, neglected and "at-risk" horses in order to prevent as many as possible from suffering or going to slaughter. We rehabilitate them when possible and find "permanent-lease" homes for them. We also promote non-cruelty to animals by focusing efforts on raising awareness and providing information to the public concerning the nature and proper care of horses, and the plight these animals face.
