OUR MISSION

ABOUT LIFETIME EQUINE REFUGE (LER)

The Lifetime Equine Refuge is the primary lifesaving equine rescue and sanctuary program under The Wild for Life Foundation.

ABOUT US: Wild for Life Foundation (WFLF) is a federally registered all volunteer nonprofit charity established for the prevention of cruelty to animals with a focus on animal welfare and the protection of wildlife. Among our greatest concerns are imperiled wild horses and burros, at-risk, abused, neglected and slaughter bound wild and domestic equines. We vigorously work to save, protect and preserve abused, neglected, displaced and slaughter bound wild and domestic equines, and educate to raise compassion and improve the standards of protection for America’s equine populations. We work to protect the lives wild equines as part of the natural ecosystem and educate people about the need for their preservation in the wild.

WFLF works in conjunction with animal services agencies and provides emergency and transitional shelter housing and primary care for abused, neglected, injured and homeless animals in need. The WFLF promotes the protection and preservation of wild horses and burros on their Native lands together with the preservation of natural ecosystems and wildlife. The WFLF is achieving these goals through operating lifesaving animal rescue, sanctuary, rehabilitation, preservation, educational, advocacy and protection programs that foster symbiotic environmental stewardship and healing partnerships between people and animals.

Through our Thoroughbred rescue and sanctuary program we provide lifesaving services for at-risk horses - that through no fault of their own, didn't measure up in the racing industry - whether they were injured, too slow, or for some other reason, their lives became at-risk. Lifesaving rescue, quality care, rehab, enrichment and training enhance their successful recovery, transition and forever safe placement through support of this program.

Wild For Life Foundation is a tax exempt public benefit corporation founded in California in 2008. Our charity is supported solely by tax deductible donations from caring individuals, businesses and foundations. With the ever growing and devoted support of WFLF's caring constituents, the Foundation has gone on to save hundreds of horses and burros, and other animals from cruelty and life threatening danger.

Since 2008, the Wild For Life Foundation has oftentimes been the first or the only place where injured, orphaned and homeless equines could find safe refuge. We provide rescue, rehabilitation, adoption and sanctuary services for at risk wild and domestic equines in need. At Wild For Life Foundation these vulnerable victims receive quality care and a second chance at life. Through dedicated and tireless hard work, excellence in professional leadership and with the assistance and support of many compassionate and generous individuals, the accomplishments of the Wild For Life Foundation and the success of its mission have been unsurpassed.  

WFLF's Lifetime Equine Refuge is also a proud member of the Home for Horses Coalition. The Homes for Horses Coalition is dedicated to ending horse slaughter and other forms of equine abuse while promoting growth, collaboration and professionalism in the equine rescue and protection community.

As part of the Homes for Horses Coalition we believe that:

Every horse has intrinsic value and deserves humane treatment at all stages in life.
The horse industry, including the equine veterinary medical profession, has an obligation to promote responsible horse breeding, ownership and care.
Horse owners have a responsibility to provide high-quality, long-term care for their horses. All horses deserve a humane end to life and that horse slaughter is neither humane nor acceptable.
