👉WHY TWO INVOICES
One invoice holds the horse from shipping for slau ghter while we plea for a home and try to raise for immediate care donations. Nearly all need the immediate care donations to provide an exam by a veterinarian or a qualified person to be sure the horse can travel to safety as these horses may be sick, dehydrated and in pain.

Every horse we help comes in need of immediate attention such as shoes removed; hoof care and correction; teeth floated sometimes extractions ; rehab for poor nutrition, often no nutrition; wound care; veterinary attention; quarantine; time to rehabilitate; and transport from the pen to safety. All are immediate first steps. The expenses exceed 950 we ask for help with.

In addition SRF remains every horse’s lifetime guardian, to prevent cycling back to risk.

If donations are received for both amounts (both invoices) we send transport and the horse is paid for and released to us.

It is irresponsible to take in another horse without some financial help when we have 483 horses under our care and expense today. Thank you for your support.

Most of these horses do not find homes and remain with SRF in sanctuary care under our expense for life.

SRF IS A 37 YEAR OLD NON PROFIT 501c 3. DONATIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE.

🆘SCREWWORM INFO:

Screwworms are devastating parasites because the larvae (maggots) of the screwworm fly feed exclusively on the living flesh of warm-blooded animals, including humans, livestock, pets, and wildlife.Their flesh-eating behavior makes them exceptionally dangerous for several key reasons:Living Tissue Consumption: Unlike common blowflies that only eat dead or decaying tissue, female screwworms are attracted to open wounds, cuts, and body orifices where they lay eggs. Once hatched, the maggots use sharp mouth hooks and spines to burrow into healthy, living flesh, causing massive, painful tissue damage.Rapid & Fatal Damage: As the maggots feed, they enlarge the wound, which attracts more flies to lay even more eggs. Left untreated, an infestation can become fatal within a week due to severe blood loss, secondary infections, toxicity, or sepsis.Massive Economic Threat: Screwworms are a nightmare for the agricultural industry. They can destroy entire livestock herds and wildlife populations (such as white-tailed deer) and cause massive spikes in beef and dairy prices.Human and Pet Risk: They can infest humans and household pets, typically targeting mucus-covered tissues in the nose, mouth, eyes, or ears.Because of these extreme risks, they are strictly controlled and monitored by the government. You can find additional information or report suspected cases on the USDA APHIS Screwworm Resource or the official Screwworm.gov portal.
