NorCal Equine Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization. They are dedicated to preventing cruelty to equines of all kinds: horses, ponies, mules and donkeys. Founded in 2003 on the belief that if everyone does what he or she can, then much will be accomplished. They rely entirely on private donations and must maintain a balance between adoptable healthy horses and horses that are non-rideable or sick. They occasionally place horses into a foster home type environment, but only if it is in the best interest of the equine. Most of their horses are at their ranch in Oroville, CA, with 24 hour monitoring by their trainers. Visitors are welcome daily Sunday through Thursday by appointment.
