Aurora - bye Atoka
Gramps is a 23 yr old Mustang stallion saved from the kill pen who went through multiple bouts of colic. He did not have the strength to make it through the last one even under vet care.
Oasis
Aurora - bye Atoka
Trooper
Oasis had grown to love his gentlers and melted into their arms before they compassionately said goodbye. Oasis had advanced liver disease and had to be euthanized.

...and HELLO to new life
Trooper
Trooper died suddenly at foster while waiting for his dinner. He arrived with a broken nasal bone, which is why his face is swollen. He was in a good place when he passed and knew care and a full stomach.

Evanescent featured in the NY TIMES & "tree hugger" - May, 2
Bringing to light the BLM Adoption Incentive Program is not working, Evanescent Mustang Rescue was featured in this article on Tree Hugger. The only comment so far says Mustangs should be sent STRAIGHT to slaughter, so let's FILL IT WITH comments from Mustang supporters!
A more in depth article in the New York Times. We are glad to see the media paying attention to the plight of the Mustangs and Burros being put at risk due to the terrible Adoption Incentive program.

We are grateful for all our supporters and none of these Mustangs and Burros could have been saved from certain death without you! Check out our Fundraiser page for ways you can shop for yourself and help Evanescent at the same time.

The Cleburn 24
We pulled off a MIRACLE last night!
Nov. 12, 2020 - On Nov. 9th, we learned of 20 BLM Mustangs dropped at the Cleburn Horse Auction in TX. Most were mares that had been running with 2 stallions (not dropped @ auction) and are most likely pregnant. All Mustangs were only titled 2 mos. ago and likely victims of the Adoption Incentive Program...
We owe a HUGE THANK YOU to Skydog Ranch, their supporters and Evanescent's supporters!! You were all SO generous in this extremely short time frame and enough donations were received to save ALL 20, which turned out to be a total of 24 including 3 foals and a surprise Mustang Makeover Mustang. For more details, please LIKE us on Facebook.
What's next? 12/7/2020
Another fundraiser auction is in the works. Check back on our FUNDRAISERS page to see the latest ways you can help support Evanescent Mustang Rescue & Sanctuary.

Additional Information
Meet Lady - a very sweet, skinny Mustang. When Evanescent heard about her heading to auction, our amazing supporters stepped up again and we were able to keep her from going to the kill buyer! However, as you can see she has a long recovery ahead. While donations to save the Mustangs up front are *always* appreciated, funds are equally important for their health care & special diets.
