About

HARPS is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded in 2001 by nationally recognized animal advocate, Donna Ewing, who played a key role in the passage of the 1973 Humane Care of Animals Act. The mission of HARPS is to continue promoting and providing humane treatment for animals – specifically horses and other hooved animals – through rescue, rehabilitation, education, and legislation. In pursuing its cause, HARPS strives to make a positive impact on humanity as a whole.

Kindness begets Kindness

HARPS continues to bring this awareness and first-hand experience to others. In an effort to break the cycle of violence for children and animals, our education program allows children and adults the opportunity to engage and interact with our rescued residents awaiting adoption. Teaching future generations about stewardship of the land and its fellow creatures allows for stimulating, healthy activities that will help open new avenues for learning, and new possibilities for life’s work while building confidence and self-esteem through interacting with these impressive animals.

Making A Connection

The rehabilitation success we have experienced with animals in near-death condition, brought back to vibrant health with proper care, is an inspirational experience for people.  Visits to our facility can offer real hope and a powerful visual representation that loving care and understanding, diligent work, and the unselfish help of others can bring about remarkable change for both humans and our animal partners.  

A little bit of effort makes a lot of difference.

Here at HARPS we have over seventy collaborative years of experience in rescuing horses. The main goals of our organization continue to be the rescue, protection and rehabilitation of abused horses and other hooved animals, as well as educational and legislative advocacy.
