Equine Rescue Lists
We recommend Equine Rescue 101 if you are interested in a moderated discussion list focusing on rescue and with no chit chat or off topic discussions. Equine Rescue 101 is hosted on Yahoo Groups at:
http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/EqResQ101
The Equine Rescue News is available to rescues who wish to announce horses available for adoption, press releases, fundraisers, stolen horses, etc. It is NOT a discussion list. Anyone may post to it (subject to the guidelines of course) and you need not be subscribed to post or read messages so posts made there get a wide audience. Equine Rescue News is also hosted at Yahoo Groups at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eqresqnews
If you prefer a group that allows off topic emails & chitchat, some have recommended the Horse Rescue Brigate list:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HRB1/
There are others out there of course! Some are more focused than others, some are busier than others - I'm sure that there's something out there that meets the needs and tastes of just about everyone and if they don't you can start your own!
Horse Lists & Discussion Boards
Yahoo Groups has a variety of lists devoted to rescue of specific animals, including other rescue lists for dogs, cats and equines & almost any other animal you can imagine! Some are more focused than others on particular issues or placement or do a lot of off topic chatting, so you can probably find something to meet your particular likes and dislikes here if the more serious focused lists don't appeal or you like to be on multiple lists!
NetVet's List of Mail Lists includes dog and cat lists and even some on cows, deer, pigs, etc.
Dog Rescue List's Email Lists for a wide variety of animals.
