Equine Encore Foundation is a non-profit (501) (c) (3) corporation whose mission is to provide a retirement home for racehorses, both Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses, who have served the industry well but whose racing careers have come to an end and who deserve to hang up their racing plates and bask in the Arizona sun. As with all rescue operations, the major challenge is funding. We receive support from the industry with our major supporters being CARMA, Thoroughbred Charities of America, Second Call of Turf Paradise in Phoenix, AZ, The Arizona Racing Commission, the Arizona Quarter Racing Association and the Pima County Horsemen’s Association. Support also comes from grateful racehorse owners and fans of the sport. We are working to establish a “social security” system for all racehorses through the racetracks but this is a difficult task. We are hopeful that horse lovers in general and racehorse lovers specifically will help us with their tax-deductible donations. Donations can be made online or mailed directly to us.

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.
