Your Donation Makes a Difference

The Illinois Horse Rescue of Will County was founded in 2011, to provide shelter and care for mistreated or abandoned horses and other animals. We provide shelter, food, and veterinary services for these animals until a suitable home can be found. As secondary services, we provide educational and therapeutic programs to local schools and charities with and about these animals.

RESCUE REPORT!

Today with a heavy heart and an urgent plea for help. Our horse rescue is facing an unprecedented emergency, and we desperately need your support to continue our mission of saving lives.

In recent weeks, we have seen a surge in cases of neglected and abused horses in our state. The ongoing economic challenges have left many horse owners unable to provide for their animals, and the consequences have been devastating. We are overwhelmed with animals in dire need of rescue, rehabilitation, and care.
