Villa Chardonnay Seeks Assistance for New Home!
VC is saving 22 Homeless "Special Needs" Equines
On Nov. 18, 2011 Horse Slaughter is now legal again in the USA!
Villa Chardonnay is an established and growing horse rescue and sanctuary. Currently home to 43 horses and total of 70 rescued animals. There are 22 "Special Needs" equines, many mentally or physically challenged who are losing their home to the bank. They need URGENT help today to save them from possible euthanasia. With their special needs they cannot be adopted or placed home with an ordinary family. Villa Chardonnay is in negotiations to purchase an equine facility that will home over 250 abandoned, starving and abused horses..
OUR GOAL IS TO RAISE $500,000 TO ACQUIRE THIS ESTABLISHED EQUINE FACILITY. WE NEED THE HELP TODAY OF THE PUBLIC, BUSINESSES, FOUNDATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS!
