We are a Not-For-Profit, 501(c)3, Illinois licensed animal shelter for horses and cats. We are the only Horse Rescue in Belvidere, Illinois. Bertell Farms, NFP is the home to 13 horses, 2 rabbits, 48 cats, 6 dogs, 24 chickens, 3 goats and a starlings. Some are currently available for adoption, while others are recuperating and rehabilitating and need further evaluation. We love horses. All horses. We, the directors, owners, and the volunteers, ALL wholeheartedly agree that, although advancing age is irreversible, it is NOT a Condition, nor is it to be dealt with by humane euthanasia. We believe that senior horses deserve the respect they have earned. We believe they have as much worth as a highly trained show horse. We believe that we can learn a lot from the senior horse, if given the opportunity. Other rescues should be so lucky as us to be loved by a senior horse!
