(Undated) –A midstate horse rescue that was founded in 2013 is in danger of closing from lack of funding, according to a press release.
Pennsylvania Racehorse Rehoming, Rehabilitation and Rescue (PARR) is located in Harrisburg. The volunteer organization takes in horses with medical issues and retired Thoroughbred racehorses.
Now, PARR needs $10,000 to stay open, the press release said. That money would cover rent payments for PARR’s farm and help provide hay, feed and medications for the horses.
“This is a situation no rescue ever wants to find themselves in, and it was sort of a ‘perfect storm’ of things coming together at the wrong time that created it,” PARR Volunteer and Board Member Bryan Langlois said.
A special website was set up to give to PARR. People can also send donations via PayPal to parradoptions@aol.com or mail them directly to PARR at 1008 Piketown Road in Harrisburg, Pa. 17112.
