Bear Valley Rescue: How You Can Help


Bear Valley Rescue is a registered Canadian charity.

Please consider making a one-time or monthly donation to help us look after the horses. Below is a form you 
can print off (Microsoft Word Document) and distribute to your 'horsey' or 'animal-loving' friends to help 
spread the word and to help us generate some badly needed funds. Currently our hay alone costs us approximately 
$12,000 per year, not to mention the vet, grain, fencing and pasture costs! Thank goodness Mike's able to do 
some of our farrier work! Also you may want to consider fostering or sponsoring one of our permanent residents. 
We can keep you updated on their progress, send pictures, and, if you're close enough, you can come out any time 
and visit with them!  Unfortunately we're not set up to process donations by credit card, so if you'd like to
make a donation by credit card or to set up a monthly contribution please use the 'Canada Helps' button on the home page.

The projects we are currently raising funds for are:
Hay Fund - $12,000 per year
Sunchild Reserve Horses Fund - $4,000
Larosa Equine Treatment Facility Fund - $15,000
Foster Horses Support Fund - $5,000 per year
These figures are estimates based on budget figures only.
100% of ALL donations received goes directly to the rescue.  Where a specific fund has not been allocated, 
the donation will be applied to general operating expenses related specifically to the care of the horses
(of which there is no shortage!): vet fees, feed & supplements, farrier, etc.



Also, please check out the Fundraising page for other ways to contribute.

Lastly, we do appreciate all the kind emails and phone calls - it really helps to know that there are others 
out there that care about these horses.

Here's a great book that would be a hit with all animal lovers: "Where the Blind Horse Sings. Touching stories from 
the Catskills Animal Sanctuary", by Kathy Stevens; available through Blindhorsesings.com
