Miracles Do Happen At Pure Thoughts Horse Rescue
Saturday, August 18 2012
by Editor
It’s true that horses and many other animals in this country definitely need organizations who specialize in “rescuing the animals” what is making a difference in the welfare of these animals are people who become involved. People are the saviors, the rescuers, the ones who make the difference. Whether you have adopted, volunteered, donated, attended events or even passed along a story about an animal in need… you have made a difference.
