Bear Valley Rescue: About BVR



We are new to the rescue scene, but hopefully make up for our inexperience with our enthusiam! 
Bear Valley Rescue was founded in 2004, although we didn't register as a charity until January 
of 2005. We have found wonderful homes for many amazing horses.

We are located in west-central Alberta, on 40 acres. If we can find homes for these animals, we 
can go out and save more of them. It is really sad the number of good horses that end up being 
slaughtered because no one wants them.

All our animals are wormed and vaccinated regularly. They are friendly, even if they haven't 
been worked with much (it's surprising how long it takes to brush 50-odd horses!). We hope you 
enjoy our site, and we would love to hear comments/feedback from you.

We are more than happy to accept any donations of good-quality hay. We are a registered charity, 
and able to issue tax receipts for donations. Please click HERE for more information on donating 
money or supplies to our cause.
