Urgent Wayne county placement in January. Located and screened new home – adopted and safe 🙂

We were able to locate and screen homes for 21 of the Arabs in the seizure. 1 of the 22 total was recovered by an owner who had sold him on a contract. Thanks to Brie who handled the county’s end of the placement and the care! These horses have been placed all over the USA and even into Canada – all are safe

Very thin Hackney mare rescued and adopted to Diane L. after being abandoned in Wayne County –

I was notified about this situation by a family member of mine. I walked him through what I needed, he got photos, addresses and names to me and I sent the info to Summer of the HSUS. She was able to get the ACO out and went out herself to talk the owners into letting this poor boy go. I found him a home, and Summer transported him to meet up with her in Morgantown, and the photo below this shows him a few weeks after rescue.

This lovely girl needed a home urgently as the owner could no longer afford her care. We circulated the photos and info, screened homes and found a quality home and have her pending placement on our contract.

13 yr old Blind Morgan gelding was scheduled to be euthanized because his military owner was being deployed and had no way to keep him. I have been able to, when the owner called me, arrange a rescue in Oklahoma to take him in – they raised the funding for transport and this boy will be going to the sanctuary on the 20-21 of August! HE IS SAFE!

Phoenix
Grade mare
Serious Abuse and Neglect case from Lincoln Co.
Approx 8 years old
RIP Sept 2010Phoenix had endured too many in her short life.
She could not recovered from the horrific neglect and
abuse, no matter how hard we tried to help.
We made the hard choice to have her put down
after 3 months of working to save her in
September 2010.

Her memory serves to encourage me to try
to save one at a time until they all have a
home, and our rescue is named after her!

Quite thin, halter trained but poor ground manners and no training undersaddle

Stormy on adoption day – The rehab center he was a child’s therapeutic riding horse for closed, and due to his age and blindness in one eye, he had a hard time being placed.
