we have started a special campaigne to ask for urgent items needed to help us keep our ranch dogs cool in these searing temperatures. As you all know, the sanctuary is located OFF the powergrid which means no electricity for AC or even simple fans. Please check our wish list page to see what we have found that will be an enormous help in keeping the 9 ranch dogs cool in these very hot summer months that are coming upon us!
Wild Burro Rescue and Preservation Project
Olancha, CA
A non profit, tax exempt animal protection organization dedicated to:
the live capture-rescue, rehabilitation and lifelong care of otherwise doomed wild burros
OUR USE OF A FUND RAISING COMPANY...HERE IS THE REASON:
We would like to let everyone know that we had a very difficult year last year and so we resorted to the help of a professional fund raising group called Fund Raising Strategies. Many of you are getting the mailers from them now, showing a mailing address in Los Angeles, CA rather than our address here in Olancha, CA. The reason being, this is how they are able to keep track of donations received. They have expanded our donor base and have helped give us more exposure out in the public.
Desperate needs means desperate measures. It has caused some confusion as the style of the writing in the flyers is so different than what many of our long-time donors are used to seeing. But please bear with us as we try to move forward with this method to raise money for our burros and their needs.
You are more than welcomed to mail your donation directly to our address here in Olancha:
PO BOX 10 Olancha, CA 93549-0010
We thank you for your patience!

SAFE act would protect U.S. horses
Cheers to Florida congressman Vern Buchanan, who kicked off the 115th congress by introducing the SAFE act, which permanently bans the killing of horses for human consumption in America. The bill also bans the export of live horses to Mexican and Canadian slaughterhouses where the animals are killed and then shipped overseas.
This legislation would protect America’s wild horses in a way the the wild horse and burro act of 1971 has not been able to.--we know that wild horses who have been stolen from America’s public lands by the Bureau of Land Management have ended up at slaughter houses. And we know the agency has gotten away with it.
If that wasn't horrific enough, don’t forget that in September, the agency’s wild horse and burro advisory board backed a position that could see some wild horses, who have been rounded up and imprisoned in holding facilities, slaughtered.
The advisory board is a mouthpiece for the cattle and sheep ranching industry (ranchers have always sat on the board). The industry's vendetta against wild horses has reached an all time high as other special interests compete for space on America’s public lands such as mining companies, hunting businesses and oil and gas companies.
Your help is always appreciated!
