How You Can Help - Adopt

Once the animals have been through the process of retraining and rehabilitation they are put up for adoption. Potential adopters are carefully screened to ensure that the animals go to new homes where they will be well loved and cared for.

We try match animals and people that are compatible. Many times there is an almost immediate attraction to a particular animal. We like the adopter to spend time with their animal prior to taking them home. We want them to learn as much as possible about their animal, and its history and re-training.

When we can, we like to match adopters with their animals when the animals arrive. This allows the adopter to be involved in the entire rehabilitation and/or domestication processes. There is a special bond that forms between the human and their animal companion when they've gone through the process together.

Required for adoption

• Animal and prospective adopter must demonstrate a good match by spending time together and exhibiting compatibility.
• Fill out adoption agreement. Horsefriends Large Animal Rescue Inc. retains ownership for 12 months. After that time there will be a follow up, and if the adoption is still working for both the human and their companion ownership will pass to the adopter.
• Be willing to have a site check
• Complete education process on animal care, or demonstrate sufficient knowledge
• Pay adoption fee. The fee is paid when you take the animal home and is non-refundable.

We reserve the right to take the animal at any time if we feel they are being abused or neglected. We are also glad to take any animal back if the owner's situation changes or they can no longer care for the animal.
