Adoption process - Wild At Heart Horse Rescue

How to Adopt

Wild at Heart Horse Rescue welcomes horses of all breeds, disciplines, and circumstances who are looking for their forever homes.

IT’S ALL IN THE STRATEGY.

Horses aren’t like regular pets. This means they require a more in-depth adoption process to ensure their forever homes are truly forever. Wild At Heart doesn’t take this responsibility lightly, which is why we take a more detailed, caring approach to every single adoption.

After all, making sure that our horses and owners match cant be a rushed process. Our careful matching process results in fewer returns than many rescues, and we pride ourselves in accomplishing this goal every single day.
