Support Hooves Haven Rescue

Why Donate?

Behind every horse on our adoption page is a story that started in hardship — a kill-pen auction, a neglectful situation, a financial crisis, or a life transition that left a horse without a home. Your donation is what makes the rescue possible.

Hooves Haven Rescue is a lean, mission-driven nonprofit. We do not run paid advertising. We do not have corporate sponsors. Our ability to rescue horses, provide veterinary care, and support adopters after placement depends entirely on the generosity of people who believe that horses deserve a second chance.

 

Where Your Money Goes

Veterinary care	Every horse that enters our program receives a full health assessment, vaccinations, Coggins testing, and any urgent treatment they need on arrival
Farrier care	Regular hoof trims and assessments — horses in rescue often arrive with seriously neglected feet that require multiple appointments to correct
Feed and forage	Daily hay, grain (where needed), and supplements to restore and maintain condition in horses who arrive underweight or malnourished
Rehabilitation housing	Safe pasture, shelter, and stabling while horses recover physically and build trust with humans
Transport	Costs associated with picking up horses from kill pens, owner surrenders, and other rescue situations across the USA
Post-adoption support	Staff time spent supporting adopters with questions, training referrals, and veterinary guidance after a horse goes home

Ways to Give

One-Time Donation

Make a single donation of any amount. Every gift — whether $25 or $2,500 — goes directly into our program.

Monthly Giving

Set up a recurring monthly donation to provide steady, predictable support for our horses. Monthly donors are the backbone of our program — they allow us to plan ahead, take in more horses, and respond to emergency intake situations without hesitation.

 

Tribute and Memorial Donations

Make a donation in honor of a beloved horse, animal, or person. We will send a personalized acknowledgment to the recipient or their family. Contact us at info@hooveshavenrescue.com to arrange.
