Los Angeles, June 8, 2013, Rescue News and Updates:
More great news from Wild for Life Foundation! We are pleased to share some heartwarming progress made by our new family of rescues and tell you about WFLF's newest Fairy Tale Beginnings, but first; there are three horses and a donkey that need urgent help; a QH mare and filly whose lives are at stake right now, and Diego a rescued Thoroughbred gelding, and little Marley, a sweet male standard size wooly donkey... here's the scoop -
The mare, Jazz is a 23 yr old registered QH.. she competed and road trails with her former
owner, then was used as a brood mare and she produced champions. The filly, Glimmering Hope is an unregistered QH yearling whose mother died shortly after she was born. This
little darling is a true survivor - weaned early... She's thin but otherwise healthy. Their lives are at stake and we need to work quickly to bring them to safety. As we initiate our plan of action, we are also taking donations and pledges for foster care, and assistance to help save their lives. Please act now; time is of the essence.

UPDATES:
Thanks to the kind and generous support of people like you, Coco an Arabian mix mare and Rocky, an Arabian/QH stallion rescued together in March are making a fantastic come back!
Check out Coco's before and after photos -- and what a little cutie. She's filling in beautifully and has a gorgeous new coat. Coco is ready to transition into a loving foster or a new forever home, but she's really attached to Rocky and after all they have been through, we are doing everything we can to keep them together.
Rocky is doing great too and he is such a mellow and willing horse. When we rescued Rocky he was too weak to step into the trailer but he is thriving and basking in the love and care he's received since his rescue. This gentle boy of approx 10 yrs old has now been gelded and is ready to transition out of our special care unit into a loving foster or new forever home with Coco.
Remember Bella Rose and Rosebud? These two Thoroughbred mares had been
"We are working with individual members of the equestrian community to find positive solutions that will provide Bella Rose and Rosebud and others like them, with loving homes and lifelong care, "says Katia Louise, President Wild for Life Foundation. "We are fortunate that caring individuals are willing to partner with our nonprofit rescue organization to help find creative solutions for horses with such dire need."

racehorse. She had 4 starts and won 1st place once. (April 2013)(Left) Bella Rose at Riverside Co Animal Services.. she had come in together with Rosebud. (April 2013)
And remember Louie? It's Like a Fairy Tale Come True: Louie, a 22 yr old former racehorse, (53 starts, took 1st place twice, and who has seen
many years since), with strong trail riding background and a heart of a foal, had become very thin and weak as his former owner was unable to feed and care
for him any longer. Wild for Life Foundation representatives assessed his situation and found this gentle gelding in dire need. We rescued Louie and took him under our care in April.

mare that had raced for
several years and then was used as a brood mare, was later dumped into the slaughter pipeline,
