Since its beginning in April 2001 the Arizona Equine Rescue Organization has operated from volunteer hours and charitable contributions from the community.  The AERO Board of Directors is seeking to expand the organization to serve more horses and more children in need.

 

AERO has established strong relationships within the Valley's horse community and operates with four interrelated arms of the program: critical care rescue, rehabilitation, community outreach and community education.  We work in collaboration with several youth related and equine health care programs across Maricopa County and we are actively building our collaborative network across the Valley.  

 

Additionally, AERO is now working to establish a scholarship fund to help youth pursue animal care careers.  If you're interested in how your organization can work with AERO, please contact us. 

 

If you or others you know would like to volunteer time or talents to AERO, please contact us as we grow our youth and community programs.
