Forest Glen Horse Rescue
Our chosen charity for 2019 was a local family operation just around the corner, Forest Glen Horse Rescue. This little non-profit with a giant heart rescues traumatised and neglected horses destined for ‘the doggers’, and rehabilitates them with love, compassion and dedicated care. They regularly have horses available for adoption, so keep an eye on their Facebook and Instagram pages to see what they are up to.
The Natural Vets donate medical supplies and vet consultation time to support their efforts. In 2019 Forest Glen Horse Rescue received 100% of proceeds from our eBook sales, which totalled $1,110.
Farm Animal Rescue
In 2018 Farm Animal Rescue in Dayboro received $770, which was 100% of proceeds from our eBook sales.
Farm Animal Rescue is located in the Pine Rivers district 45 minutes north of the Brisbane CBD. This sanctuary is a place of refuge for animals that have been freed from abusive situations and factory farms, each of which receives the best of life time care. The farm opens its gates periodically to visitors so that people can come to meet the residents and see how happy they are.
