PER Rescues Two Horses, Concerned About Others
January 15, 2009
Two horses were surrendered to Panhandle Equine Rescue Tuesday, including one suffering from malnourishment.
Diane Lowery, president of PER, said the miniature mare, known as Dee Dee was malnourished. She was rescued along with Camellia, a mare. There are still 10 horses left on the property near Cantonment that are being closely monitored by investigators.
“We are concerned for two of them, because they are so thin and the temperatures are dropping so low this week; their only saving grace is that they do have hay,” Lowery said. “We hope to get those two out of there in the near future.”
Because of the ongoing investigation, Lowery declined to say more about the horses.
Panhandle Equine Rescue’s mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and provide adoption services for abused, neglected and abandoned equines. PER is authorized by the Escambia County court system to investigate equine reports in the county.
Donations are being accepted to help pay the vet bill or anyone interested in sponsoring Dee Dee. Checks or money orders can be sent to PER, P.O. Box 777, Cantonment, FL 32533 or you can visit www.panhandleequinerescue.org for more information.

I hate to see animals not looked after properly. I know it’s hard time for lots of folks, but if they can’t afford to feed them I wish they would make arrangements for someone else to care for them. I don’t want to say anything bad, because I don’t know the circumstances of this story. I just hope if it’s because of financial circumstances they will make arrangements about the other horses, and not let them get so mal nourished. That is so sad!
