Responding to a call from Miami-Dade Police Department/Agriculture Patrol, South Florida SPCA rescued another emaciated, injured Thoroughbred Saturday night (01/28/12).  The horse was found stray in SW Miami-Dade (SW 195 Ave. and SW 202 St.).  

The horse, identified by her tattoo, is named Foolish Treasure.  She is in stable condition at the SFSPCA rescue ranch.  Foolish Treasure ran her last race at Tampa Bay Downs Racetrack in 2008.  “After 2008, she falls off the radar,” stated Jeanette Jordan, President of SFSPCA.  “I’m just glad we got to her in time before she was hit by a car or starved to death.” 

Since last Wednesday (01/25/12), SFSPCA has rescued a total of 10 horses including five Thoroughbreds, one Quarter Horse and four ponies.  “With over 50 horses at the rescue ranch right now, we could use the public’s help to provide food and veterinary care for them,” stated Jordan.

South Florida SPCA is a 501c3 non-profit established in 1992 to rescue, rehabilitate and offer for adoption horses and other large domestic farm animals.
