What it reported doing in 2025
The organization dedicated significant resources to the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of unwanted and abused animals.

In the 2025 tax year, we provided direct care and medical intervention for numerous horses and dogs and other animals and finalized successful adoptions for these animals, furthering our mission to care for creation and nurture the human spirit through the animal-human bond. The organization aslo partners with other nonprofits, such as Bit-By-Bit Medical Therapeutic Riding Center, to recruit and retrain specialized therapy horses and build enrichment areas for their therapeutic animals.
