ULF Rescue is a volunteer organization with no paid staff members.
100% of donated funds goes to rescue efforts and animal care. Board of Equalization has awarded ULF Rescue property tax-exempt status which speaks to the sustainability of the charity’s facilities.
ULF is a GuideStar Silver level charity, and maintains a Certificate of Good Standing with California Secretary of State for non-profit corporations.
Special attention from our rescue will soon be given to helping affect change in the Havasupai Indian Nation, in the Grand Canyon. Please see the documentary, “Trail of Blood”, and tune in to our social media for updates.
The Need:
It is a sad fact that in this so-called “Age of Awareness”, no-kill shelters in the United States are few and far between. Additionally, there are not nearly enough spay / neuter / rescue / education programs available. Current statistics show that over 3 million dogs are abandoned and put to death in shelters around the country, and upwards of 100,000 horses are abandoned or in a dire state of need, on any given day in the USA alone.
According to The Equis Save Foundation, there are estimated to be around 10 million horses throughout the United States today. Of that number, around 4 million horses are for recreational uses such as trail-riding and pleasure riding, while many more are used for sports related to money, like racing. Sadly, for many various reasons, many horses become “unwanted”, and are discarded in less-than-humane ways.
Some of the “unwanted” horses are eventually sold on the open market where they end up in slaughter houses in Canada and Mexico. (Yes, it is now illegal in many states to sell to slaughter buyers, yet it is still done.) Others are dumped in rural areas to fend for themselves. Slaughter buyers have even been caught dumping skinny horses in rural areas where grass is plentiful, then recapturing them when they are heavier and taking them to slaughter for more money.
The charity world and animal activists also contend with the dark world of backyard breeders. These irresponsible people promote breeding to reap a quick profit with often little to no care for the animals they use for money.
As anyone can clearly see, there is an increased need for rescue work, now, sadly, more than ever. We dare not elaborate on the many cruelties that horses and dogs are suffering. The point is simply that we seek to make a difference, and to help as many animals in need as we can possibly help.
Unconditional Love Foundation seeks to make a difference by increasing the availability of rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption programs, incorporated with community outreach programs for children and women. We also endeavor to evoke change, by creating a social media storm that will raise awareness and education on an ongoing basis, shining light wherever possible, on animal abuse, and animal abusers
