MISSION STATEMENT
The United States Equine Rescue League (USERL) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the compassionate care of equines. Our mission is to save, protect, and rehabilitate equines in need. We rescue abused, neglected, or abandoned equines; provide them with care and rehabilitation; and finally find them a compatible, loving home. We believe that education is the long-term solution to improving the lives of equines.
GOALS
To educate horse-owners and the public about proper equine care, and the problems of neglect, abuse, and slaughter.

To rescue equines from neglectful and abusive situations by educating owners, helping to place at-risk equines and ultimately working within the bounds of the law to remove equines from their owner's care when deemed necessary.

To rehabilitate sick, injured and underweight equines and restore them to a state of health.

To end the suffering of those equines which cannot be rehabilitated by means of humane euthanasia.

To find all equines that come under the care of USERL a compatible, loving home.
The Power and the Passion to Provide Hope!
