Mission
To provide a safe haven for wild horses, domestic horses and burros that might otherwise be separated, slaughtered or suffer abuse. Simultaneously, our organization works to create an educational opportunity for people to directly experience America's living legends—the wild horse, in a natural habitat. Our Equine Rescue program provides shelter, care, rehabilitation, and adoption services for abused, abandoned, neglected and unwanted horses. We also offer basic education to new adopters regarding care and treatment of rescued horses. Although our primary focus is on horses/equine this organization shall not be limited to and if called upon shall allow other limited types of animals such as bovine, bison, and mammals not interfering with the State and Federal Wildlife laws.


Philosophy
America’s wild horses have a right to remain wild and free. However, each year thousands of wild horses continue to be removed from their indigenous environment and relocated off public lands with nowhere to go in the private sector. We maintain that, whenever possible, bonded horses will be allowed to stay together. We believe this will allow them the ability to live out their lives roaming free in a sanctuary setting and allow them to carry on their heritage.
Whispering Winds Equine Rescue (“WWER”) is a public benefit non-profit corporation, created with the mission of acquiring abused, malnourished, unwanted, or neglected horses, donkeys, mules, and ponies (equine) with the purpose of returning them to good health and placing them in responsible homes so they may thrive. WWER also acquires equine that are offered for sale at auctions for the purpose of being sold for meat (either for human or animal consumption), evaluate their condition, and bring them back to good health, if needed, then place them in homes where they will be well cared for and used. This rescue work is carried on using the highest standards of medical care, scientific methods, and facilities available within the limits of the corporation’s financial resources.
