Where does LCR get their animals?
LCR obtains horses from a number of different outlets, and under diversified circumstances. Some horses are donated as healthy and rideable, but the vast majorities arrive with issues and/or medical needs which their owners can no longer handle. When finances permit, LCR will purchase horses at auction, usually one or two at a time. These horses would have no future otherwise, and are normally purchased directly from the butcher pen, just before going to slaughter. Dogs, cats, and other small animals are generally obtained from ACCT/PSPCA in Philadelphia. Occasionally LCR will accept owner surrenders in certain circumstances. We generally do NOT accept surrenders of cats/kittens as we do not have the facilities to house them. We rely on foster care for felines and have limited homes available.
