The Florence Copper Community Foundation recently awarded a $2,000 grant to Good Shepherd Horse Rescue and Learning Center. This grant aims to assist with the costs for vet bills for rescued animals.
Located in Apache Junction, Good Shepherd has been a pillar of strength in the community since its founding. After the loss of their owner and president, Maria Jones, in 2011, the rescue faced significant challenges that threatened its mission. Through perseverance and the support of the community, Good Shepherd overcame those obstacles and continues to provide horses with a second chance at life.
Cindy Campton, President and Director of Good Shepherd Horse Rescue and Learning Center, shared, “We are thrilled to receive this generous $2,000 grant from Florence Copper, helping us provide the veterinary care our horses need to live healthy, happy lives. This past weekend we had a horse develop heat exhaustion and had to receive 40 liters of IV fluids to save him. As you can imagine, this was very costly, so [this] grant couldn’t come at a better time.”
The Florence Copper Community Foundation is honored to support Good Shepherd’s work, improving the lives of both horses and people in the community.
