Four Feet Companion Foundation

Four Feet Companion Foundation raises funds for local animal charities through events, donations, and corporate support. Our priority areas of funding are spay/neuter, companion animal rescue, adoption programs and emergency veterinary medical care. Collectively we have over 30 years of rescue experience, as co-founders of a local rescue organization or as core volunteers with various rescue organizations. However, we felt it was time to try to help all reputable rescues, and support them when needed. They work tirelessly to help animals in need. We believe a program like this is greatly needed. Having been in rescue, we were inundated on a daily basis with calls for help. Whether it is an emergency situation such as a puppy mill, hoarder or accident, rescues seem to be always juggling a balancing act between saving lives and being able to afford the time and money needed to help.

V.A.S.T. Veterinarians Abroad Supporting and Teaching (veterinary services)

VAST workshops and clinics are offered to communities that rarely see veterinary or animal husbandry services. We train local animal health workers in food animal care, disease prevention and treatment, and biosecurity. The goal is to recognise key diseases in livestock before they become fatal, as well as give locals the opportunity to have their animals health checked. A secondary goal is to deliver needed veterinary medicines and supplies to communities. Our next visit is to Haiti. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western hemisphere, with some of the highest infant mortality, illiteracy and infectious disease rates found globally. Since the earthquake in 2010, a cholera epidemic has also impacted the population, compromising their ability to rebuild. As more than 80% of the population survives on less than $2 US/day, farmers are unable to pay for proper animal care. Unfortunately for most rural Haitians, their family's wealth and security are tied up in the few animals they own.

Therapeutic Riding is the use of the horse and equine-oriented activities to achieve a variety of therapeutic goals. Our facility provides a purposeful and safe environment where our riders can explore their abilities and enjoy the success of reaching objectives that are tailored to their individual skill level.
