On February 19, we received a letter of commendation and appreication from King County Animal Control. We have an excellent working relationship with this organziaiton (as well as King County Prosecuting Attorney) and have worked with both agencies on multiple cases of animal cruelty related to horses we have rescued- we feel that Animal Cruelty charges are an important part of rescue, whenever possible. Simply taking horses from a bad situation can allow abusers to collect more- by working to prosecute whenever possible we hope to help prevent future incidents.
The one case that has gone through court is that of Dean Soloman, owner of PEC (Pacific Equestrian Center). Serenity Equine Rescue rescued 23 horses (and one pig) from that facility. Other local rescues assisted in the efforts to transport, care for, foster and re home additional PEC horses. We thank everyone who was involved in this important Animal Cruelty Case.
In addition, we thank King County for noticing our efforts on this case and specifically for thanking Serenity Equine Rescue for our continued work for the animals.
Here is a photo of Sequoia the night she came to Serenity.
and here she is today, happy and healthy and sound. She is just about 3 years old now and is seeking a forever home.
