Daisy Mae wants to remind you that on Tuesday, September 10 at 1 p.m. ET, Hill’s Pet Nutrition will be matching donations dollar for dollar, up to $20,000! As in previous weeks, once the 20K is met, the match is over.

We cannot express how much we appreciate all the donations that we have received so far!! Every dollar truly makes a difference. You may love horses, but do not have the means to provide shelter for one. Your heartfelt donation helps provide feed, hay, medical needs, shelter, and more for these amazing equines.

In case you missed it, Daisy Mae is our featured equine this past week for the Clear The Shelters Campaign.

She is a lovely 2016 Jenny donkey standing 13.2 hands. She has a cheerful personality and a great disposition. She is easy to handle and has excellent manners. Daisy Mae will require a pasture area with limited grass especially in the spring when the grass is growing. She is a victim of founder, so her diet must be carefully monitored. She is a beautiful animal and deserves the very best life possible.

Daisy Mae is available for adoption to the right home! If you are interested in Daisy, you can send us an email to [email protected]

In case you missed it, our featured equine this past week for Clear The Shelters Campaign is ER Courageous aka Mateo.
Mateo is a 2009 Shetland pony pinto gelding standing 10 hands tall. Upon arrival this pony was in so much pain, he was aggressive and reluctant with any handling or attention from his new caregivers. With our expert team of caregivers, veterinarians, and farrier we have watched this pony do a complete 180 degree turn around. Out of pain now, he is receptive to our questions and eager to please. As shown in this video, Mateo has a lovely personality, the one that makes us all fall in love with horses. With proper handling, care, and training, this brave pony will make someone incredibly happy. If you are interested in Mateo, send an email to [email protected]
