About

Volunteer Equine Advocates (VEA) is a nonprofit, all-volunteer organization that rescues equines from legal cases of cruelty or neglect as determined by law enforcement and animal control agencies. Working with these agencies and with the help of generous donors and volunteers, VEA has assisted in the seizure and care of over 800 rescued horses, mules and donkeys. Equines are then rehabilitated and placed in foster care or adopted into forever homes.

VEA is a no-kill equine rescue program. Our adoption policies ensure animals we place are never again unwanted, neglected or abused.

VEA operates solely from tax-deductible contributions, contributions of supplies and equipment, modest adoption fees and the generous giving of time and love from our volunteers. VEA's policies ensure 100% of all donations go to expenses such as veterinary and dental care, medicines, farrier care, hay, feed and other essential equine care.
