Mission Statement


4R Animal Shelter is organized exclusively for charitable purposes to provide a safe haven for horses, other equines and farm livestock that have become victims of neglect, abuse or abandonment, or whose owners are no longer able to care for them. Our main goal is to rehabilitate, retrain, and if possible, re-home these animals through a comprehensive adoption process.


 
 

The newest rescue at 4R Animal Shelter 

                                                                           

    The Beginning Steps of a Rescue

This young stallion came to 4R Animal Shelter to be gelded, trained and re-homed.  He is a wonderful kind horse only 3 1/2 years old.  His owner struggled to decide whether he should stay with her or go to 4R.  Life's reality is that she did not have the time to devote to his training.He is also cryptorchid and needs to be gelded before real training can begin. Cryptorchid means that his testicles have not descended and he will have to have an intensive operation in order to be gelded.  The cost of the gelding is estimated between $800, if all goes well, to $2000, if problems are encountered.  
Please, if you can, click the link at the top of the page to donate towards his gelding fund.  Thank  you.  Check back each month to see the progress this beautiful boy is making.
