Even if you can only volunteer an hour of your time, it helps. Every little bit of work you do is appericated and needed to help run the rescue. We could use help everyday of the week, and are very flexable on days and times. We only ask that you come with an open heart and positive attitude. You don't need any horse experience, this is a great way to learn about horses or be around them.
Want to see our current horses? Check out our Instagram account "PregnantMareRescuePMR", it's updated daily with photos of our horses at our Watsonville location.
This listing is for our GILROY LOCATION. Please make sure to subject which location you are able to volunteer at. Thank you!

Mission Statement
Mission Pregnant Mare Rescue (PMR) is Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS) verified, 501(c)(3) certified nonprofit horse rescue dedicated to the fulfillment of three objectives: saving pregnant mares and orphaned foals subjected to various abuses; educating the public on the plight of our American equines today; and providing healing programs for children from all walks of life. Established in 2006, PMR operates as an equine rescue / rehabilitation center and temporary sanctuary. PMR specializes in providing the unique care required for pregnant mares and orphaned foals.
Description
We are a small grass roots organization working tirelessly to educate the public on the needs of our equines today. Our rescued horses are magnificent healthy horses deserving of a better life, and a forever home, not death by slaughter.
We have helped the ISPMB (international Society of Mustangs and Burro's) by accepting orphan foals from North Dakota. We have accepted Premarin mares right out of the barns in Canada , ready to foal. We serve the community and network to find homes for horses in need, when owners are down on their luck. PMR has even paid veterinary bills for strangers in order to keep their loved horse where they belong, right at home.
We track every horse we save for life, making sure they are guaranteed saftey and love the remainder of their days. For the babies, that can be a 30 year commitment. Our rescues have taught us that horses mentor the human spirit, and this gift we share, for free (The Wonder of Horses Program) to children and adults alike.
We are 100% run by volunteers .
