RESCUED ANIMAL RESIDENTS RANGE FROM EXOTIC TO DOMESTIC SPECIES, INCLUDING HORSES AND BURROS, CATTLE AND BISON, EMUS AND OSTRICHES, PIGS, TORTOISES, BIG CATS, BEARS, KANGAROOS AND SEVERAL PRIMATE SPECIES. ANIMALS RESCUED FROM CRUELTY CASES OR OTHER FORMS OF ABUSE RECEIVE VETERINARY CARE AND A PERMANENT SAFE HAVEN. IN 2023, CABBR WAS ABLE TO ACCEPT 32 NEW RESIDENTS INCLUDING TWO COATIS, FOUR EMUS, TEN LEMURS, FOUR MACAQUES, TWO LLAMAS, AND AN OSTRICH, ALL VICTIMS OF A SHUTTERED ZOO; ONE SEVERELY NEGLECTED PIG AND TWO TURKEYS SEIZED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT; AND SIX FORMERLY AT-RISK HORSES DEEMED UNADOPTABLE BY RESCUES DUE TO THEIR FERAL NATURES. INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS IN 2023 INCLUDED UPGRADES TO THE WATER STORAGE AND DELIVERY SYSTEM AND 34,000 LINEAR FEET OF NEW PERIMETER FENCING. NEARLY 10 YEARS AGO, FOREVER FOUNDATION, AN INNOVATIVE PROGRAM PROVIDING HORSE TRAINING AT NO COST TO EQUINE RESCUE ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED AT THE EQUINE CENTER AT CABBR. THIS PROGRAM UTILIZES AN ONLINE PLATFORM FOR LEARNING AND TRACKING THE TRAINING PROGRESS OF EACH HORSE COMBINED WITH LIVE TRAINING CLINICS. FOREVER FOUNDATION UTILIZES A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO TRAINING THROUGH TRUST, COMMUNICATION AND LEADERSHIP AND HAS BECOME A NATIONAL RESOURCE FOR ASSISTING EQUINE FACILITIES WITH DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR OWN TRAINING PROGRAMS. THE FOREVER FOUNDATION TRAINING ENHANCES THE SKILLS NEEDED TO REHABILITATE AND WORK WITH DIFFICULT HORSES, EXPANDING THE OVERALL CAPACITY OF GROUPS TO TAKE IN EQUINES WITH PAST TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCES. RESCUED HORSES WITH FOUNDATIONAL TRAINING ARE FAR MORE ADOPTABLE, AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF LONG-TERM ADOPTION SUCCESS IS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER. IN 2023, THE PROGRAM HELPED 1,638 HORSES. DUCHESS SANCTUARY IN OAKLAND, OR IS A 1,120-ACRE FACILITY ESTABLISHED IN 2008 TO CARE FOR FORMERLY ABUSED, EXPLOITED, AND NEGLECTED EQUINES.

BLM MUSTANGS AND OTHER HORSES AND DONKEYS RESCUED FROM POTENTIAL SLAUGHTER AND VARIOUS DIRE SITUATIONS MAKE UP THE BALANCE OF THE EQUINE POPULATION. DUCHESS ALSO SERVES AS A WILDLIFE HABITAT WHERE THE EQUINE SHARE ACREAGE WITH LARGE FREE ROAMING HERDS OF ELK, DEER AND OTHER NATIVE WILDLIFE. IN 2023, THE SANCTUARY COMPLETED PROJECTS TO IMPROVE FIRE SAFETY AND CONTINUED BUILDING ADDITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE TO EXPAND ITS EQUINE GRADUATED CARE PROGRAM TO CONSISTENTLY PROVIDE EXEMPLARY CARE OF ITS AGING POPULATION OF 150 EQUINES.

IN TOTAL, 9,649 ANIMALS RECEIVED MEDICAL CARE WITH AN ESTIMATED VALUE OF $1.7 MILLION IN VETERINARY SERVICES AND 1,345,000 LBS. OF PET FOOD WERE DISTRIBUTED TO FAMILIES IN NEED.
