South West Florida Horse Rescue, Inc. (SWFHR) is a Florida not for profit corporation created pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. We are dedicated to saving the lives of our local horses from abuse, neglect, and slaughter; by providing the best vet, farrier, and feed to bring these horses back to health in a safe and positive environment. With community in mind, we strive to gain an excellent standing with all we come in contact with. Finding “forever homes” for these horses is our priority. Our Vision To make the lives of equines in our local region of Florida better off by educating our community, providing action when warranted, and advocating owner responsibility. Our Core Values :: Compassion - No matter the situation we will always carry compassion towards equines. There will never be a day where any equine is mishandled, no matter its attitude or the situation. :: Commitment - To the Equines and our Community. We are in this for the long haul so to speak. :: Advocacy - This comes in many forms but is very close in heart. Speaking up and out for those who don’t have a voice, pushing leaders and law makers for change when possible, teaching people the affects of improper care and handling, and many more ways. Education fills the void of ignorance. Our Focus Is aimed at quality rather than quantity in all we do at SWFHR, the focus on care and future for each rescue is priority. Our Programs Adoption, Volunteering, Assistance, and much more general information can be found on our website www.swfhr.org.
