"Cans For Colts"?Tired of recycling pop cans and bottles? Well BRR's board member Amelia started a fantastic fundraising event called "Cans for Colts". Everyone at her work donates their cans to her for Blue Ridge Rescue, five cents doesn't sound like much but when a company has 1,500 employees who drink a can or more everyday - it adds up! Our "Cans for Colts" helps to pay for castrations and other vet bills for our rescues at Blue Ridge Rescue. If you live locally you can drop your cans off at Blue Ridge Rescue. If you do not live locally you can collect cans & bottles, cash them in and donate the funding to BRR.
It's a great way to help the environment and rescue horses at the same time! Become A Sponsor? We have 2 minis coming in that need sponsored. Hope is a crippled mini and her mini companion Graydee is blind. They need your support. Check back to see their story.

Meet Laz...
Photo By M.M.
Meet Laz... He was starved and living in a dog kennel. Days away from dying. He had no food, no water, no shelter. He was standing in an 6'x8' dog kennel in 6 in. of mud; his hooves were rotting off his feet. Laz was so mentally distrought he was windsucking to pass time. His living area was so small he could barely lay down, he could not move but only a few steps. Blue Ridge Rescue saved him. Blue Ridge worked for over 1 week trying to get the Sheriff Dept. and public to act to help save Laz, Pepper (another pony living at the same residence in a dog kennel), and a baby lamb (now named Yam) who was 8 weeks old and starved as well, there were other animals on the property that did not survive. Blue Ridge Rescue needs your support to help continue to save lives... like Laz. Please help our mission by donating to our cause. Blue Ridge Rescue has no paid employees and is 100% volunteer ran.
