Non-Profit
Horse Rescue Farm Established in New Hampshire In Critical Need
of Donations.
Chichester,
NH (April 8, 2003) New Hampshire has a new; much needed animal shelter
for horses. Live and Let Live Farm, in Chichester, NH, has just
been granted 501(c)(3), non-profit, tax-exempt status and is in
need of donations.
Live and Let Live Farm rescues abused, abandoned and retired horses
from all over the state of New Hampshire. Founded in 1996, the Farm
was incorporated in 2002, and made a non-profit in 2003. Starting
with just four horses, Live and Let Live Farm currently has twenty-three
horses, eleven of which have been placed there since last August.
"There
is a need in New Hampshire to provide a safe environment for abused
and abandoned animals to be rehabilitated, especially horses"
commented Nancy Kyle, Chairperson of the Board of Directors. "Most
animal shelters do not take large animals, nor do they rehabilitate
or retrain animals, they just find homes for them. Not a week goes
by that we don't get calls about horses or ponies needing homes."
Live
and Let Live Farm, Inc provides horses and ponies either a temporary
or permanent safe place to interact with people. They strive to
rehabilitate and or retrain animals, leading to increased confidence
and self-esteem, and relationships that benefit both animals and
people. When applicable, the Farm tries to find appropriate homes
for rehabilitated animals. Those animals that are considered un-adoptable
are given lifetime care at the Farm.
Shayla, a blind 18 year old Leopard Appaloosa has found a safe home
at Live and Let Live Farm.
As
a startup non-profit, charitable foundation, volunteers do all the
work at Live and Let Live Farm. The Farm is funded by donations,
sponsorships and grants. Because the Farm has grown so quickly,
they are in critical need of financial donations to pay for feed
and veterinary care of the horses. It costs an average of $1700
per year just for basic care and feed for each animal, and that
doesn't include vet, farrier, or dental care. The Farm can also
use donations of grain, fencing materials, hay, building materials
just about everything. All donations are tax-deductible.

Farm, Inc, check the Farm's website at www.liveandletlivefarm.org.
