If you can donate at least two hours a week and have a great attitude and are a team player, we would love to meet you.
Our horses and ponies are so grateful for the love and commitment that our volunteers provide.
This is a great way to work with a great TEAM of people and meet new friends.
Without YOU, we would not be possible.

Sponsorship
Sponsor a Rescue Horse
By sponsoring a rescue horse, you are helping to pay some of their expenses. This can be a one time, or a recurring donation.
Come for a visit to the Rescue and meet all of the horses and ponies, or go to our Horses and Ponies page to review their biographies to choose the Rescue that is just right for you.
You can choose your amount to sponsor as a one time donation, or as recurring monthly payments.
CanadaHelps and PayPal websites makes it easy to set your donation.
Tax receipts will be provided at the end of the year.
Sponsor an Event
- We believe in the power of community. That's why we work to build strong relationships with the people we serve.
- Many of our Fundraising events have been sponsored by businesses within our community.
- If you would like to help us out, we will ensure your business is acknowledged with signage and tickets to the event if requested.
Leave a Legacy Donation
- Have you considered making a donation in memory of someone dear, or even a bequest to make a lasting impact on the lives of the rescued horses and ponies by leaving a legacy gift to Last Chance Horse and Pony Rescue and Sanctuary.
- Your donation or bequest will help to ensure the LCHPR will continue what we do - Rescue and Rehabilitate, and offer Sanctuary to horses and ponies.
