The Betty White Challenge + Wild Love Preserve

In honor and memory of the incredible Betty White and her lifelong devotion to loving and helping all animals and creatures, we are participating in the Betty White Challenge. It is a privilege to do so.

Betty White was known for her charitable work and outspoken activism for animal causes. January 17 would have been her 100th birthday. In celebration of her birthday and legacy, the Betty White Challenge invites compassionate hearts to donate to animal causes in her name.

For us, the Betty White Challenge will benefit our daily wild horse operations and winter hay expenses for our 185+ Challis-Idaho wild horses. Our goal is to raise $25K from now through January 17.

Wild Love's 185+ Challis-Idaho wild horses, include the 42 needing placement from the BLMs 2019 Challis helicopter roundup that we successfully adopted. As per our mission, we adopt those not otherwise placed through BLM adoption programs and as we did with the 130+ wild lives we secured following the 2012 Challis roundup.

The ongoing fallout from the pandemic, extreme drought, and inflation have hit us very hard. As we continue with our efforts to raise capital to purchase land for our permanently protected wildlife preserve and subsequent move, it was necessary to orchestrate modified plans to secure the remaining 42 Challis wild horses at our leased location. Because of the drought, supplemental winter hay prices have skyrocketed to $250+ per ton, resulting in additional challenges. 100% of donations made in the name of Betty White will support our 185+ permanent residents that live forever wild and together at Wild Love Preserve. We do not adopt out or gentle any wild horses.

Thank you for helping us help them by considering a special donation to Wild Love Preserve in honor of the one and only Betty White. May her bright light and example forever shine like a beacon for all to follow.

Love is Action,
Andrea Maki + Wild Love
