A Home for Every Horse (AHFEH) is excited to announce a new partner! Merck Animal Health has joined as a sponsor to help AHFEH continue its support of equine rescues and their horses.
A home for every horse
Merck Animal Health joins A Home for Every Horse’s other sponsors: Purina, WeatherBeeta, Tractor Supply Co., and ElectroBraid in helping over 600 rescues around the United States.
Since 2009, Merck Animal Health has donated more than 25,000 doses of vaccine to equine rescue and retirement facilities through the Unwanted Horse Veterinary Relief Campaign (UHVRC) – a non-profit partnership with the American Association of Equine Practitioners. Every Merck Animal Health vaccine purchase goes toward supporting the UHVRC.
“The plight of the unwanted horse is a cause that is near and dear to our hearts,” says Mandy Remus, equine marketing manager for Merck Animal Health. “For nearly 10 years our efforts with the UHVRC have been geared toward improving the health of horses in rescue and retirement facilities so they can find forever homes. A Home for Every Horse shares this mission, which is why we’re so pleased to become a partner.”
