The need to find homes for horses retiring off the race track is great. After The Homestretch-Arizona was formed to fill this niche. From the idea to the reality happened in a very short time span. Nine people expressed a desire to form a Board. We applied to the State of Arizona to become a non-profit corporation and received approval July 25, 2011. Our first Board meeting was held on August 25, 2011 and we immediately applied to the IRS for our 501(c)(3) status. Within three weeks we received our IRS Determination Letter (September 15, 2011). In October we began rescuing horses who had retired from the track.

Through our website, CANTER provides the means for the public to view thoroughbred racehorses that are ending their racing careers and are available for purchase or adoption. CANTER volunteers walk the shedrows of the racetracks taking listings and photographs for posting to the website. At most of our affiliates, the trainers may donate or sell their horse to CANTER and the organization will find approved non-race homes for their horses.

Feathers Foundation, a 501(c)3 corporation, operates primarily Circle L Rescue Ranch in Prescott. Currently, our ranch is overflowing with animals and is home to 40 horses, over 85 dogs and 120 goats plus a varying number of geese, cattle and sheep?almost 300 animals total. For many of them, Circle L was their last hope as they were rescued from the “kill list” at County facilities or the Humane Society, litrally a day away from euthanasia. Others come from owners who can no longer care for their pets in this struggling economy. Some animals are not suitable for adoption and will live out their lives at this sanctuary. For the adoptable ones, it’s our goal to find caring homes for each of them where they receive the love they deserve.
