Welcome to the Georgia Equine Rescue
League Website
Georgia Equine Rescue League, Ltd., aka
GERL, was founded in 1993 out of a deep concern for
the growing number of starved, abused and neglected
equine in our state. While the Georgia Dept. of
Agriculture, Equine Division is charged with
enforcement of laws which protect equine in Georgia,
there are no state funds allocated for the care of
animals which are seized and impounded by GDA
Inspectors due to neglect. That program is forced to
rely heavily on public donations. To date, GERL has
provided over $360,000 to support the GDA Equine
Division. In addition, GERL has
developed programs to help horses in other ways. We
are now working with local law enforcement and
animal control agencies to insure more widespread
enforcement of equine protection laws. This effort
involves the training of officers regarding proper
horse handling and providing temporary equine
holding facilities where needed. GERL
is proud of our many success stories but we are
aware that none of them would have been possible
without the ongoing support of our members and
others who share our love and concern for horses.
The continuing success of GERL depends on annual
membership dues, various donations from individuals
and other organizations, as well as the time and
energy of our many volunteers . We are a non-profit
organization with 501 (c)(3) status. All donations
are tax deductible. We
invite you to join GERL and/or to donate online at
www.gerlltd.org. We accept checks or you may donate
online via Pay Pal on our website. Please help us
spread the word about GERL!
We often receive calls from
people who are struggling in this current
economy, requesting that we take their
horses because they cannot afford to care
for them any longer. In fact, there are so
many such calls that it is impossible for
all of the rescue organizations and/or the
Georgia Department of Agriculture to be able
to take them all. Here are some important
facts that you should know and some
suggested guidelines to follow if you are
trying to find a new home for your horse:Click here to download document...
