Pocono
Animal Rescue Inc. was founded in September of 2000,. The organization
was created out of a need in the Pocono Mountains of Monroe County
for an organization to work on the behalf of large domestic animals.
The
roots for the Pocono Animal Rescue Inc. are found in the organization,
Helping Hands for Hungry Horses. In July of 2000, four severly neglected
horses were found in Canadensis, Pennsylvania. With the cooperation
of local police, the animals were rescued by a group of concerned horse
owners and horse lovers. This same group of horse owners and lovers
organized Helping Hands for Hungry Horses to collect donations for
the care of the horses. Thanks to generous contributions from the public,
the horses received the expert attention they needed and have made
a full recovery.
Many
people in the Pocono Mountain region believed that the area
needed a more permanent organization to work on behalf of
large domestic animals. With that mission in mind, the organizers
of Helping Hands for Hungry Horses founded the Pocono Animal
Rescue, Inc.
