Mission
Fresh Start Horse Rescue, Inc., of Dolores, CO, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. FSHR was first incorporated as a Colorado nonprofit in September, 2006. Its founders have been rescuing horses since 2005. Our mission is to provide a fresh start for all breeds of horses, whether abused, neglected, unwanted, or stuck in a situation with loving owners who can simply no longer care for them. We rescue and care for them, and are looking for loving homes where they will have a future. Unadoptable horses we provide with a permanent home ourselves.
We’re not here to compete with other rescues or anyone else. We aim for a spirit of cooperation and what we want most of all is to help horses and people who need help with their horses. To that end we have a website, publish a newsletter and received our 501(c)(3) in October, 2008.
Currently we have more than 20 horses in our care, some of which were rescued by the founders of Fresh Start before the incorporation. Not all are adoptable.
