help if you can, and thank you if you already are.



URGENT:

I know things are tough all over, and If you are already giving all you can, to whatever mission you choose, thank you thank you thank you.
maybe we'll catch up with you next year.
But, if you are feeling somewhat fortunate and have been thinking about "giving" to a good cause, this would be a good time now.
DoubleHP recently has assisted Law Enforcement in the rescue, transportation, Vet appts., deworming, and providing foster homes and stall bedding for 10 horses. Several different cases.

One pinto colt, Rocket, and one pony, TooLoo, are available for adoption but the others are all in "legal limbo" right now.
They all have some legal stuff going on so we don't have much for details for you right now.
the 2 available for adoption can be seen on our website. http://www.doublehphorses.org/

the others are in a warm, safe off-site foster home with shelter, water, and lots of good food. We may need to move some of those in the next week though. It's a lot of extra horses for one family.
plus we do have 6 long-time foster horses here at DoubleHP horse shelter that we continue to care for.
That's 16 in foster care right now!
We desparately need bags of stall bedding.
If you have any extras or could afford to buy a few, please let me know.

Or, if you can provide excellent foster care, preferably for 2 horses but possibly just 1. They are all pretty young. this would include 24-hour access to shelter preferably to be able to get in a building, 24-hour access to water that does not freeze, you know, just all of the normal things we do for our horsey friends. except that these are not normal horses. they need some extra help getting through this winter.
money donations are good too. (I know I don't have to tell you that, I just feel bad asking the same people for help over and over again.)

also, 3 of our part-time chore helpers are all going to be gone the next couple of weeks but all at the same time! This will make it somewhat difficult for me to be here and at the other foster locations all at the same time.
anyone got any free time to clean some stalls? (volunteer opportunities only I'm afraid)

If you can help in any of these ways, please just let me know.
DoubleHP (Horse Help Providers, Inc) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization operating totally through volunteers and donations.
thanks you so much.
