United States Equine Rescue League

Welcome to the U.S. Equine Rescue League - N.C. Central Piedmont Region

Mission Statement

The U.S. Equine Rescue League (USERL) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the compassionate care of equines. Our mission is to save, protect, and rehabilitate equines in need. We rescue abused, neglected, and abandoned equines, provide them with care and rehabilitation, and find them compatible, loving homes. We believe that education is the long-term solution to improving the lives of equines.

Goals

To educate horse owners and the public about proper equine care and the problems with neglect, abuse and slaughter.

To rescue equines from neglectful and abusive situations by educating the horse owners, helping to place at-risk equines into safe homes, and to work within the bounds of the law to remove equines from their owner's care when deemed necessary.

To rehabilitate sick, injured and underweight equines and restore them to a state of good health.

To end the suffering of those equines which are beyond the reach of rehabilitation by means of humane euthanasia.

To find equines that come under the care of the USERL a compatible, loving home.

The Central Piedmont Region of the USERL serves the following counties:

Anson, Cabarrus, Catawba, Cleveland, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Rowan, Stanly, Union
