Welcome to Bear Valley Rescue
It is a man's sympathy with all creatures that truly makes him a man. Until he extends his circle of compassion to all living things, man himself will not find peace.~ Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965)

Our Open House will be on September 22nd this year- please join us!
 Details and information will be posted on our 'news' page as it becomes available.
Coming soon - new 'Education' tab on our website! 
We have had a number of requests from people wanting to know more about our Rescue. We are pleased to introduce this new program.  School class or group visits welcome!
In the meantime you can contact our education committee at bearvalleyeducation@gmail.com if you'd like more information.
 Our most recent intakes:
Ariel, an orphan foal, and
Simba, 2 year old cryptorchid colt

​Hay for the horses is our single largest expense.

If you have good quality horse hay to donate please contact us and we can arrange to have it picked up.   We use hay  throughout the year as we have a number of horses that cannot go out on pasture in the summer.  Tax receipts can be issued for all hay donations.  Help us put a dent in our biggest expense!
​
​Help us care for the senior horses.

 We have quite a few older and special needs horses that need custom feeding & daily medication.  You can donate feed for the horses through our feed supplier, Country Junction Feeds,   arrange it through another supplier, or bring it to us directly.  We appreciate  all donations and can issue charitable tax receipts!

For info on adopting and to see the horses currently residing at the Rescue look under 'The Animals' tab.

Wondering how you can help the horses or get involved?  Look under the 'How To Help'   tab for more information.  One of the best ways to help is though a monthly sponsorship of one of the horses or other animals at the Rescue.

Check out  'News' for upcoming events at or benefiting the Rescue, and read our blog under the same heading for updates on the animals and what has been happening at the Rescue.
