Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Our goals are simple:

Supply financial to support foster homes for animal needing rehabilitation.

Horse rescue efforts and rehabilitation.

Assist with the medical financial burdens of animals suffering from abuse.

Support local adoptions by donating funds to drop adoption prices, cutting down on shelter animal totals.

Our volunteer program also helps people who have struggled with abuse, medical issues, and other personal hardship's.

Get People Involved!
• Our Strategic Plan will be inclusive, it is a uniting document
• When developing our Strategic Plan include all rescue volunteers will be included in the process so that everyone has a sense of ownership of the vision; it becomes a shared vision and helps to inspire your volunteers
• Include the wider community in the planning and promotion of your Strategic Plan e.g. Service organizations, local businesses, tourism office, local clubs and meeting groups, servicemen and women etc.). These people are your stakeholders: supporters, backers, visitors, and potential volunteers
• Strategic Plans encourage new and retains current volunteers creating a visionary statement shared by your team

As the director of WPHC I hold a MBA which is put to use on a daily basis, with marketing, budgets, proposals, grant writing, sponsorship requests, and community outreach. We as a whole continue to strive forth by fundraising efforts, and donation requests. In todays economy we struggle however keep moving forth to the best of our abilities.

Our volunteerism is a program which helps people achieve not only personal goals of betterment but internal peace while working with our rescue horses.

Currently we have a 100% adoption rate for our horse rescue program and have made great strives in assisting with food support to fosters homes. In addition we do monthly donations when available to the homeless, along with volunteerism within our community. We keep a happy attitude and it's catchy.
