| AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION |
It is the goal of Heart of the Redwoods Horse Rescue, Inc. (HRHR) to place each horse in the home best
suited to the needs of each horse. In addition, horses adopted from HRHR cannot be used for breeding,
nor can they be re-sold or given away. The horse cannot be relocated from the original approved
facility without permission of HRHR. In the event that placement does not work out for any reason,
HRHR requires that the horse be returned to HRHR. Adopted horses must go to a home that has at least
one other horse. Horses are herd animals and require the companionship of at least one other horse.

STEPS IN THE ADOPTION PROCESS
1. First, we ask you to review our Adoption Application and Adoption Agreement. If they are all
acceptable to you, you're ready to proceed to the next step.
2. Fill out an Adoption Application (we'll be glad to help you fill it out). Your answers to the questions
on the application serve as the basis for us to help you choose a horse that is compatible with you and
your family. You may request an application by calling HRHR at (707) 476-0362 or you can download
an Adoption Application.
3. We'll tell you what we know about each horse's personality and temperament and how that may or
may not seem to fit your situation. We'll also answer your questions about how to care for your new
horse.
4. Once your application has been accepted, we will contact you with the good news! We invite you
to visit our Adoption page and see the horses that are available for adoption. HRHR will also have a
site inspector come to visit where you plan on keeping the horse. You will then be offered an
appointment time to visit suitable horses ready for adoption. Your approved application will
guarantee that you will be notified when future suitable horses are ready for adoption.
PLEASE NOTE: This process takes some time. In fact, we encourage you to take some time to reflect
upon your decision. DON'T WORRY, we will hold a horse for you up to 30 days.
In fact, before making a final decision on the horse you want to adopt, we will urge you to bring other
members of your family - including other horses you own- to meet him or her. This can prevent you
from being disappointed later if others in your family don't share your enthusiasm for the horse
you've chosen.
Once you have selected your new friend - you will be asked to sign an adoption agreement and pay an
adoption fee. ($250 - $800) The fee helps to cover the costs incurred with your horse including
vaccinations, pre adoption sessions with our horse trainer and a final vet check.
That's it! Our goal is to bring humans and horses together!
We reserve the right not to adopt an horse into a situation that we believe would be dangerous (for the
person or the horse), impermanent, or unhealthy.
