Animal Rescue

The Capital Area Humane Society executed a warrant on May 7 under the protection of the Franklin County Sherriff's Department to rescue a mare from a property in Darbydale. 

The chocolate-brown horse, now named "Beauty," is in protective custody due to poor overall body condition.  She is undergoing medical treatment at the Daniel M. Galbreath Equine Trauma, Intensive Care and Research Center at the Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine.  The horse will remain hospitalized for several days before moving to a foster home.

The Columbus Police Mounted Patrol Unit also assisted with the rescue.

Update:  Beauty underwent surgery the week of May 12 to repair an existing wound on her forelock and was placed in a cast.  The cast was removed May 22 and Beauty moved to foster care on May 27 with the assistance of the Columbus Mounted Police Unit. 

Help provide for Beauty's care and medical treatment by donating to the Capital Area Humane Society.   A special fund has been established to help cover her significant  medical expenses.
