Criteria for Helping |
In general there are two ways to help out. You can volunteer as a member of
LRTC or we can list you on our WHB Resource List. Due to insurance and
Federal legal issues, in order to actually transport, house or handle unadopted
or "recovery" BLM or Nevada state wild horses and burros you need to be affiliated with a BLM or Nevada Dept. of Agriculture certified organization (such as LRTC) or have an individual volunteer service agreement on file with BLM or NDC.
Within these criteria, the following guidelines apply: |
Foster Care
You need to have an appropriate BLM or Nevada Dept. of Agriculture compliant facility in which to hold animals. You need to have capabilities to properly feed and water the animals. In instances that are approved by BLM, you may be reimbursed for feed and other necessary and approved supplies. |

Transportation
You need to have an approved trailer, generally a "hard top" stock trailer without openings of a size
that a wild animal would attempt to jump through. You need to have a tow vehicle capable of safely towing the trailer over roads in various conditions. In instances that are approved by BLM, you may be reimbursed for mileage on approved trips. |

Working With / Caring For Animals
For insurance reasons you need to be a member of LRTC. For practical reasons you need to be reasonably close to one of our Learning Centers. We currently have Learning centers in the San Francisco Region (Knightsen, CA), Salt Lake City region (Erda, UT) and Denver region (Byers, CO.) Compliance Checks Make adopter visits, verify that the horses are being properly cared for and offer advice. |

Financial Assistance
The animals and we appreciate direct contributions, fundraising assistance and affiliations with our Wild Horse Store. As an all volunteer organization, nobody in the organization takes a penny for their labor. All funds go towards direct services or necessary expenses (e.g., insurance, utilities, supplies, educational materials, etc.) |
