Welcome to the
Illinois Horse Rescue of Will County!
Our Mission
Animal rescue and rehabilitation entwined with emotional healing for our outreach programs.
Our Vision
To strive to represent both animal and human interests by creating a program that promotes personal growth through animal interaction and care. This unique strategy supports an environment of unconditional love and companionship in which rescued animal and people can work together towards healing each other and strengthening their ability to be a positive force in the lives of others and of themselves.
Our Values
Faith in God, Honesty, Integrity, Compassion, Education, Professionalism
Our Facility
We currently have a 28 stall 11 pasture facility. After being rescued, the horses and other animals are initially housed and evaluated in our quarantine facility. Medical attention is provided and an individualized care plan is developed. After recovery, each animal is then reevaluated for transfer to our main facility where they can be placed for adoption or become involved in one or more of our available programs.
Our Funding
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and do not receive any state or government funding at all. Our organization is run solely on donations from the kind and generous people who care about the animals we save. Our staff is made up entirely of volunteers. This allows all donations to directly benefit our rescue animals! Our budget is for the animals we rescue; their medical attention, food, bedding, maintaining the rescue facility and the development of educational/ therapeutic programs with local schools and charities.
