RAVENNA, Ohio — On Thursday, the Portage County Animal Protective League rescued six neglected and malnourished horses that are in dire need of care.

One of the horses appears to be between 300 to 400 pounds underweight. Another one is "barely hanging on," the APL said.

"They are in varying stages of neglect and will need a lot of care. This is an ongoing investigation so we will not release information regarding the specifics of this case," the APL said.

How you can help

The APL is asking for alfalfa hay donations. Donations can be dropped off at FOCUS Rescue and Rehabilitation, 645 Manning Road, Magadore.

You can also make a monetary donation, here.

"These horses are the reason we exist. To help those that have no voice and cannot speak for themselves," The APL said.
