The Animal Disaster Relief Fund (ADRF) is helping to look after displaced horses and animals during and long after the wildfires in the interior of British Columbia.

“The amount of support the ADRF has received so far has shown us the incredible strength of community,” says Kelly Coughlin, Senior Program Manager and Manager of Agriculture and Industry with Horse Council BC. “Resources will continue to be needed for the care of displaced horses and animals in the weeks and months to come as many will have lost their farms, pastures, and feed supplies.”

Donations from the public will continue to aid the associations, groups, and individuals during and after this unprecedented wildfire disaster.

Help is still needed to assist in HCBC’s efforts to keep supplying those on the ground with needed support throughout this natural disaster. Donate to the Animal Disaster Relief Fund here: https://hcbc.online/donate.
