No. Everyone's time and effort to help our organization and the victims are on a volunteer basis. There have never been salaries or paid employees. All the funds raised from fees, fundraisers, and donations go to our Victim's Service and Educational Outreach programs and toward paying our bills.
Oh Lord, yes! We have the only missing horse database in the USA and issue NetPosse Alerts to our social platforms and mailing list. We assist victims in their search for horses and provide educational resources and clinics, and our founder speaks nationwide about all things missing and equine ID. These are just a few of the tasks we take on for horse owners and the horse industry.

NetPosse has earned 501(c)(3)non-profit status with the IRS, but that does not mean any professional, government or outside agencies fund us.
NetPosse’s overhead and operational expenses are paid via the modest fees it generates from report fees, proceeds from their portion of rewards we sometimes receive, sales of products on the site, and generous donations.
Unfortunately, being a non-profit does not free the organization from having expenses and meeting financial obligations.
Please do not compare our nonprofit to a social media page or group. That would be similar to comparing apples to oranges. There is no other organization that does what we do, even if there are social media pages similarly sharing information.
Yes, Stolen Horse International, Inc. is registered with the IRS as a rescue organization.
Our founder Debi Metcalfe has been speaking at events since 2001 and loves the chance to teach people what she has learned over two decades from working with thousands of victims, including her own family. This all started with the theft of a horse named Idaho. You can click here to learn more about Debi Metcalfe's experience and why she is referred to as an expert on horse theft and equine ID.

- dates of medical events
- costs associated with your animals

And if the worst happens and you need to file a report, it is FREE for a registered animal for the primary report. Add-ons would be an additional fee.
