We are a 100% volunteer organization caring for horses outside on the farm. We have AM and PM shifts available Monday-Sunday for feeding horses (times depend on available daylight). We also have a need for people to groom and maintain horse living areas.
Horse experience is preferred; however, we will train volunteers who are able to volunteer on a regular basis.

Mission Statement
Rock Run Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. Our mission is to care for animals in need by providing a supportive environment that encourages physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. In caring for our animals, we utilize holistic healing modalities in conjunction with contemporary veterinary care.
Description
Rock Run incorporated in 2012 to help animals in need. Rock Run Animal Rescue's animal services have been refined over the past decade to become primarily a sanctuary for horses. There is substantial need for elderly, retired, and/or infirm horses to have an opportunity to live out the rest of their natural lives, including many horses in our area.
We offer holistic care, specialized diets, medicine, choices, friendship of a herd, and lots of love. The horse's lives are in no less valuable as a result of not being able to be ridden, having physical ailments, or needing a home. While they have already served humanity throughout their lives, they continue to do so by offering people unconditional support, understanding, healing, learning, and growth.
Several of the horses at Rock Run participate in our program, Kintsugi Equine Gestalt Coaching. Together, the coach and horse, assist people with navigating through difficult emotional periods in life. Horses are natural healers, and are making a difference!
People helping horses helping people...everybody wins!!
