On eBay! |
Right next to our Post
Office is a Salvation Army thrift store. Tawnee slipped inside last week
to look for needed
 office
supplies. At the thrift store there was a circa 1935 Smith-Corona Sterling typewriter in perfect
condition. No rust, no dust, just perfect. She wasn't sure if it was
worth anything or not, but she went ahead and got it as it looked so
neat and only cost $15. Tawnee did some research on it, and
found out it's worth more than $15. More along the lines of $700. What a
great fundraiser
opportunity.
Click here for some information about it.
There's a rusty one on
eBay
for $2,000. Ours is much better!
We have listed it
on eBay starting at $15.00, what we paid for it!
Click Here to see our add on eBay
and feel free to place a bid. Since the typewriter was posted it
has had 7 bids and is currently at $76.00.
 Also
on eBay:
We had to upgrade our
Quickbooks
so we are placing our old one on eBay.
It
is Quickbooks
Premier 2006 Nonprofit version.
Click Here
for the eBay
auction. If you know of a nonprofit that needs financial software, this
is a great opportunity to save some money and get a great program.
All of the funds will be used for the horses! |

This Week's Review
|
This
e-news covers the last week and a half. Due to the euthanasia
clinic last week we were unable to get an e-news sent out .
Last week started off rainy and wet, and yet through the miserable
weather people came to visit the horses, and some lucky horses got to
go to their forever homes. The rain is certainly wonderful in the
long term, although it can make it miserable and muddy. We got a couple videos
up on YouTube. We hope you will enjoy them. Feel free to
leave us comments on Youtube.
Lippy Conner is a horse at the rescue that
enjoys sharing his thoughts with the world. He is quite a funny
character and we just love spending time with him.
Click here to
watch him share his opinions on needles and sedation.
Click here to
see him discuss the recent weather. When he gets in a stressful
situation his voice seems to get high pitched and very rapid...
We have also published a video
on Euthanasia. It is not graphic and shows that humane euthanasia truly is
a "peaceful
death."

This Week's Rescues |
This rescue story starts
Friday night at approximately
10:35 pm. NER
founders Jason and
Tawnee were almost asleep when the phone rang: "Hi it's your neighbor, I
was driving home and I saw a loose horse on the paved part of
Dunstone." Like a
flash, Jason and Tawnee
headed into action. Jason hooked up the trailer while
Tawnee grabbed a
bucket of grain, lead rope and halter from the tack room. By 10:47 the rig was
pulling out. A 12 minute response time for a Friday night seems pretty reasonable
to us. The neighbors jumped in the truck to help find the horse again since they
were the last ones that had seen it.
Driving along the road in the dark they suddenly saw the horse in the
headlights.
Tawnee got out of the truck and the horse disappeared into the
darkness... For the rest of the story ~

 March Auction Rescue
Fund: With the
last funds raised
 for
saving horses from auctions we
were able to save 22 equines and

2008 when
we started fundraising to save horses directly from
livestock auctions in particular, we have saved 241
horses from auctions. Our donation goal this
month is $5000.00 for the rescue and care of the auction horses.

This Week's
Adoptions |
|
These
are the horses that have been adopted since the last E-news was sent
out. As always, all homes were prescreened, references were
checked out, and to the best of our ability each horse was placed in its
forever, loving home. The names, in order from top left, are:
Bubba, Red Eye, Dib, Gingles,
Girandole, Pluto, Jolly, Montana, Peanut, Rose, and Rainbow Cruiser.
We would like to thank everyone that opened their hearts and homes to
these wonderful horses.

So far this year we have saved 72 equines!
Help us
save more horses from abuse, slaughter and starvation. |
