We are students from the University of North Texas who proudly support Charlie’s Promise Farm Animal Rescue and Sanctuary, a nonprofit in Frisco, Texas that is dedicated to providing safe, loving, and lifelong care for senior horses, donkeys, and other farm animals in need. During our research and observation, we found that many of the animals welcomed by Charlie’s Promise have experienced neglect, abuse, abandonment, and unsafe living conditions. Through our “No Farm Animals Left Behind Campaign,” our goal is to raise $500 dollars to help Charlie’s Promise continue providing these animals with the food, medical attention, hoof care, and the safe environment they need to live a healthy and comfortable life.

The need for organizations like Charlie's Promise and others is very significant; farm animal neglect continues to affect animals throughout the state of Texas. In 2025, the Houston SPCA rescued more than 34 farm animals from a property in Crosby, Texas, where horses, sheep, goats, zebras, rabbits, and chickens were found without adequate food, clean water, or safe living conditions. Charlie's Promise helps provide a second chance to animals who may require long-term or specialized care rather than a temporary solution. For these animals, rescue is only the beginning; their ongoing food, veterinary care, and shelter all come with costs.

Our $500 fundraising goal can help contribute directly to those expenses. Charlie's Promise says veterinary treatment, hay and food, and professional hoof care are important uses for donations. While the exact cost of care varies from animal to animal, $500 can help provide a meaningful contribution toward the daily and medical needs of the animals at the sanctuary. As UNT students, we might not be able to rescue every animal ourselves but we can make sure that the animals already depending on Charlie’s Promise continue to receive the care they deserve. With your support, we can reach our $500 goal and help keep the promise that no farm animal is left behind.
