UPDATE: Austin Has Been Adopted!

By

We are so happy to announce that Austin was adopted yesterday! We took Austin in last year because he had been abandoned by his owner and suffered a great deal of neglect. He was underweight, had little muscle tone, and had fungus all across his coat and legs. He had been standing in muck for so long that his feet were diseased and infected. In addition, because he had very little human interaction, he would put his ears back and threaten to bite people when they came up to his stall, … [Read more...]

Aggie Gets a New Home!

By

Hanaeleh receives calls every week about a horse who is in need of a home. Although we cannot take in every horse, we do try to network horses as often as possible.

Last month, we were contacted by a man who knows one of our volunteers, Amy. He had some major health issues … [Read more...]

Update: Grace Goes Out on Trail!

Megan rode Grace while Elizabeth rode Tamahome, and the only issue was that Grace had a little trouble … [Read more...]

Hanaeleh is a horse rescue, but we have a myriad of other animals who we have also rescued: chickens, sheep, feral cats, and now, a tortoise!
