Here is an important message from our friends from Francis, Florence and Friends Equine Rescue (click on their name to visit their website) as well as a Wanted Items List:

 

This message is from Elizabeth Carr, local Rescue Group Representative here in the Guilford County Area:

First and foremost, on behalf of all of us here at FFF Equine Rescue we are deeply touched by everyone who has reached out and made donations towards the devastaed areas in our Coast.  We would like to let the High Point community know that our rescue group is working alongside other Large Animal Rescue Groups assisting them with rescue operations.  Some of our volunteers are out in the affected areas performing water rescues with horses that have been in chest deep water levels for more than 24 hrs.  While some others are performing clean up duties at our facility.  Once our facility is cleaned up, we will be able to be a holding facility for displaced horses and other large animals until we are able to re-unite them with their owners. Which at that point we will need more donations for the upkeep.  We are also taking care of our 30 horses we have in our program prior to the arrival of Hurricane Florence.

Hello Everyone, Jonathan Marquez here, about 1 hour ago I was able to connect via phone with Dr. Richard Z.

Per Dr. Z him and his family were evacuated and are in the Clayton, NC area awaiting clearence to return home and access damages to their home and the Hospital.  Once this is done we will connect with him and plan more clearly our exact delivery dates as we also await for the roads to re-open.

Northwood Animal Hospital "NAH" will continue to ask friends in our community for their help with our relief efforts for our Coastal friends.  Dr. Slivka and myself will be bringing our Horse Trailer to NAH in the next few days to store the donated items, also our friends from Davidson County Animal Alliance have reached out to us and will also join us with their trailer and make the drive to the coast when the time arrives.
