ADOPTION STEPS
1. Adoption QUESTIONnaire
2. MEEt & GREET
-
If (after completing the questionnaire) we determine that you are a potential match, you will receive a phone call to further identify the right animal for your situation and needs.
-
If we determine we have a match for you, we will set up a time for you to come to the barn and meet the horse or farm animal.
3. REFERENCE CHECK
We will email you a link to fill out a form where you will provide us with 3 references - Farrier, Vet, and Personal.
We will set up calls to talk with your references and make sure all is well on that end.
4. HOME CHECK
We will schedule a home check if all your references check out and confirm you are a good match. If you are within 45 mins of our location, we will do a home check in in-person to ensure there is no barbed wire, there are adequate shelters, proper and secure fencing, and enough room for the horses. If you are over 45 mins away, then we will schedule a time to do a video chat where you will walk around and show us the property.
5. CONTRACT & HAULING
Once these steps are complete, you will sign your adoption contract and pay the adoption fee. On our end, we will arrange a time and day with our hauler to get your horse or farm animal delivered to you! One of our adoption coordinators will ride along to ensure that the animal is all settled in.
