Urgent Need – Help us save slaughter bound horses in TN!  This month our Tennessee shelter is planning an auction rescue to rescue horses from being purchased by kill buyers and shipped to slaughter.  Shipping horses to slaughter is legal in TN, and every auction has multiple kill buyers bidding on every horse that slips […]

Budbud’s potential adopters came out to visit him.  He is a very cute little boy. Budbud’s new family really love him, and he took to them right away too. Sadly, Max had to come back to the shelter.  He was buddy sour with his new friends, and his family felt it was not safe for him when […]

 This cute little Shetland mini was surrendered to our shelter.  Her name is Flower and she is looking for her forever home.  Maybe yours? Our vet came out to get some geldings done.  It’s amazing how many stallions we rescue, but thanks to our vet’s hard work, their future is much brighter as geldings. Janice, […]

It was an exciting day at the shelter as two horses were being adopted!  Lucy and Paoli were the lucky ones.  Larry and Kirsty got to work on their vaccines and microchips. Lucy was so good loading in the trailer, we always wonder when adopters bring a 2 horse straight load how the horses are […]

Hidalgo got to meet Lady Lacy, she informed him that everything is ok now and he is safe, he will never have to go to an auction again. Bella was […]

A lot has been happening at the TN shelter, please enjoy this “catch-up” blog. Chance, the skinny stallion rescued from the auction, was heading to the vet to be gelded.  Lydie and Tawnee loaded him up.      Riley was also going to the vet for his checkup.  They both had looks of bewilderment loading […]

 Last week the staff was busy working on putting shaving in the quarantine pen for the auction horses that would be rescued. Some visitors who are interested in adopting both Paoli and Lucy and came out to meet them.  They really enjoyed their visit.  Both of the girls loved them and we think each match is perfect.  We […]
