They also work to educate the public on the correct way to take care of their animals.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Rescue, Rehabilitate & Re-home
Equines are surrendered to Redemption Road Rescue by owners who can no longer care for them, or are given to RRR by law enforcement when they are seized as part of a cruelty investigation.
RRR returns these equines to full health with good nutrition, veterinarian and farrier care, and then works to find suitable adopters who contract to take care of the equines in their forever homes. In the event adopters can no longer care for the equine they are returned to the rescue.
It's as much about the People as it is about the animals
Redemption Road Rescues is committed to good people who find themselves in bad situations. If they are unable to continue taking care of their equine they can chose from two options. Surrender them, knowing they will be placed in good forever homes, or if they think they can get back on their feet within 3 months the Rescue will provide food, grain and/or farrier care as needed asking only that they pay it forward once they are back on their feet. Surrender budget is included in overall program budget, figure below is for providing 3 months of assistance.

Context Notes
The number rehabilitated is dependent on the number of animals taken in each year. We strive for at least 90% of our intake to be adopted eventually but we never euthanize to make space.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
The Goal of Redemption Road Rescue is to Rescue, Rehabilitate and Re-home equine who are abused, neglected or abandoned and to reach out to equine owners who are experiencing hardships. RRR can offer assistance to these owners either by providing temporary feed and veterinary care, or for the long term allowing them to surrender their equine knowing that they will find new forever homes.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
The Strategy of Redemption Road Rescue is to be a resource for law enforcement and members of the public when they find cases of abuse, neglect or abandonment of equine in their community. The Purpose of RRR is not to hold judgment on the equine owners it encounters but to remember that sometimes, good people get in bad situations. Redemption Road Rescue also wishes the owners of equine who find themselves unable to care for their animals to know that they have a safe place to look for assistance.
This is achieved by developing and maintaining excellent donors and cultivating relationships with vendors by always respecting and acknowledging their contributions and partnerships.
Redemption Road Rescue is always aware of their public image and strives to present themselves in an outstanding manner.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Redemption Road Rescue always makes sure we recognize our limitations and never allow ourselves to take on more than we can manage with the resources we have. Many organizations fail as they grow to fast without adequate structure.
The RRR Board of Directors meets regularly and is in constant contact regarding all matter pertaining to the viability of the program. They will stretch sometimes to handle a dire situation but never go to the point of failure. This has enabled them to develop partnerships with numerous other organizations in mutual support.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Since 2009 we have taken in over 600 equine that were abused, starved and neglected, in the process assisting many owners in difficulty in managing their situations.
We continue to be debt free, have over 50 wonderful volunteers and have great support in the community.
We don't aim to be bigger just better.
