These Carriage Horses Just Got Retired to a Sanctuary, Showing There Is Still Some Good in the World. ACCT Philly, an animal care and control service provider in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, has given a new life to horses who, until recently, were owned by the now defunct Philadelphia Carriage Company. Now, horses who were previously exploited in the carriage industry have gotten a beautiful new start at Gentle Giants Draft Horse Rescue.
The rescued horses were transferred to the non-profit’s horse caregiving facility and rescue in Maryland.
After the years they spent working tirelessly carrying 2000+ pound carriages and tourists, they are now finally able to rest and enjoy every day.
The horses will now have a chance to find new adoptive homes …
… Or, if that does not happen, they will happily live out their retirement at the rescue.
Thanks to the two organizations that orchestrated the move and took the horses in and to the city of Philadelphia that supported the handling of the situation, all the animals from the defunct carriage company now have their own safe place to stay. Unfortunately, many horses used in the carriage industry end up at auction when they can no longer work. A few lucky horses may find other homes, but many are purchased by slaughter plants and turned into low-grade meat. After all the years dedicated to serving humans, this is hardly the kind of fate they deserve.
We can’t wait to see the day when every carriage horse gets to retire in the love and care of compassionate people, but until then, please keep sharing information about the cruelty involved in the carriage industry and support incredible sanctuaries like Gentle Giants Draft Horse Rescue.

We know this picture is graphic and we apologize, but this is someone’s dog. This is a Golden Retriever mix with a prefect body weight and no visible trauma. A golden dog with a black collar.
This dog most likely froze to death and was dumped at the First Class Liquor on E. Warren Ave in Detroit by a white pick up truck.
Fox 2 has obtained footage of the dumping from a surveillance camera and we will be sharing it. We will also be offering a $2,500 reward for information leading to a conviction.
Our team took care of this dog and gave it the dignity of a proper cremation. She was told we are sorry. We’re sorry we couldn’t be there for her, but she was special and she was loved.
Detroit is not a dumping ground and these dogs deserve better.
Our field team has had an incredibly difficult 24 hours and has seen some of the most inhumane acts. We simply can’t do this without your support. As we wind down the year, we are asking you to pledge your support. Will your end of the year gift make a direct impact?
At Detroit Dog Rescue it will. Our field team has no plans on stopping. To help them please make a tax deductible donation at DetroitDogRescue.com/ donate.

Dedicated Rescue Team Helps Save Orangutan Found on the Brink of Death
An orangutan named Asha was recently taken in by the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme (SOCP) in dire condition. She suffered from serious fractures and required urgent medical help to save her life. Luckily, the orangutan underwent bone surgery in Batu Mbelin, North Sumatra – and now, thanks to the intervention and the intensive care she received, she is beginning her healing process.
Asha’s injuries included a serious fracture on her right arm and on her left wrist.
But, thanks to the veterinary team, it worked out in the best possible way and brought hope for a truly happy future for Asha who is now starting her recovery.
