Every quarter, we donate to two at least local nonprofits doing great things in the Seattle area. Here’s our winter 2014 report from the Gals Giving Fund:

$1,500 to New Vocations

Racehorse adoption program

new-vocationsNew Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program was founded in 1992 to offer retiring racehorses a safe-haven, rehabilitation, and continued education through placement in experienced, caring homes. Most of the horses arriving at New Vocations are injured and thin, suffering the normal occupational hazards of racing. Without a useful skill to offer their previous option was often a one-way ticket to the local livestock auction.

New Vocations provides a safety net for these horses matching them with qualified individuals and following up on their rehabilitation and vocational training to ensure a successful transition. Our focus is on adoption versus retirement, believing that each horse deserves to have an individual home and purpose.

That is why PAWS brings together people like you to ensure animals are respected, safe and have a voice.
