Summary
- WarAngel Farms rescues horses from out-of-state kill pens.
- The rescue facility helps people fulfill community service requirements.
- Horses often arrive with health issues, including a pregnant mare.
WarAngel Farms, a non-profit animal rescue located in Canton, Georgia, is actively saving horses destined for slaughter. Founded by Casey Montana a decade ago, the farm's mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals in need.
The sanctuary primarily receives horses from kill pens in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. These animals frequently arrive with significant health concerns. Recent rescues include a pregnant former racing quarter horse and a foal brought in at just five days old, who suffered from respiratory and immune-system issues.
Beyond rescue efforts, WarAngel Farms provides a unique community service program. This initiative allows individuals, including veterans and those battling addiction or mental health challenges, to work with the animals, fostering a connection and promoting healing.
The farm's commitment extends to other rescued animals, including goats, pigs, donkeys, and an 80-pound African spurred tortoise named Ringo, originally rescued from New York. Montana's late father, a Vietnam Marine veteran, was a key supporter, building essential infrastructure on the farm.
