Our Mission
The Virginia Equine Welfare Society, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit, volunteer-based organization working to prevent equine abuse and neglect. We are dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of abused, neglected, abandoned, unwanted equines and other at-risk equines through education and community awareness. We provide safe housing, medical and rehabilitation services to equines in need and will eventually place them at the appropriate time into caring, compatible adoptive homes.
