Welcome to

Panhandle  Equine  Rescue

Welcome to Panhandle Equine Rescue. PER's mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and provide adoption services for abused, neglected, and abandoned equines. We operate in Escambia County in northwest Florida. Since PER began in 2005, we have worked 111 cases involving 466 horses. 54 horses have been rescued.   

PER is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization depending entirely on volunteers and private donations. All donations are tax deductible.

TO REPORT CRUELTY OR NEGLECT IN ESCAMBIA COUNTY, FL, CALL 850-587-2754. Callers can choose to remain anonymous.

Panhandle Equine Rescue has received numerous donations from the local community since the story went out on our struggle to continue to help the horses, especially Raven (check out her story here).  So far, we have received over $3,000.  This will help compensate for the vet bills for Raven, but she is still not out of the woods yet.  We plan on doing several fund raisers in the future in order to be able to stay in operation.  Your continued support in the future would be greatly appreciated.  Our funding must remain constant, since we have daily care of seventeen horses at this time.   Our hearts are filled with gratitude for all the help we have received so far.  

When eleven year old Hannah, along with Michael, age ten and Emily, age eight, heard of our need for funds, they took action, by standing on the street corner in their neighborhood and collecting money for PER.  They collected $231.31 to help the horses.  They recently came out to visit some of the horses that they helped.  Here they are with rescue horse, Jasmine.

In addition, we are in great need of foster homes. We are at full capacity and cannot take in any more rescues until we have more space and can raise the funds to support them.
