How to Adopt

Our adoption process is designed to ensure the best match between animals and families. We're here to guide you every step of the way to a successful adoption.

We take our commitment to healing horses in body, mind, and spirit VERY seriously. We take the adoption of our Horses and Donkeys with equal seriousness.

By following these few steps, your new family member can be in your barn or pasture very soon.
