New Vet Fund to Assist the Community...

SCR has created a new fund to provide assistance for veterinary and emergency needs of animals owned by private citizens or other rescue organizations in Washington. It is not limited to horses - we will consider requests for any animal. The fund is not sustained by SCR, but is solely dependant on donations that are sent in and earmarked for this fund.

So far we have been able to pay for two surgeries of dogs; one who had a private owner and another that belonged to a shelter. Priority will be given to low income and senior citizens who can provide a wonderful home for their animal, but who are not able to afford a large veterinary bill, or just need temporary help with food, medication or other urgent needs.

Julie and Magik

I recently heard about a woman (a friend of a friend) and her horse who needed help. While Julie is bravely battling stage 4 cancer and struggling to support herself, her horse Magik severely injured his leg and required surgery. Julie is using her artistic talents to fundraise.

Check out the U-Tube video of Julie and Magik - these amazing water color T-shirts are hand painted and absolutely stunning! SCR was so moved by this video, we paid off her veterinary bill. However, Magik has a long recovery and so does Julie. PLEASE support her by purchasing a T-Shirt, and pass the video on!
