Our Adoptable Animals
Adoption Process
We require an adoption application and an inspection of the potential new home. This application is extensive and will ask for your veterinarians name among other information. There is non refundable fee for this application.
Our contract states that the adopted animal may not be sold or given away under any circumstances and will be returned to D-S Rescue if for any reason the animal cannot be kept. The adoption fees vary depending on the animal adopted

Sweet little Linus has had a rough start to life. He came to us at just under 2 years old and severely emaciated. He had an abscess in his hoof, where a nail was stuck on the underside of his hoof. If that wasnt enough he is also a cryptorchid which means he has a retained testicle that will require surgery. Thankfully other than that he has been relatively healthy since coming to D-S Rescue this spring. Once he is fully recovered, he will be looking for a home with a experienced owner. Since he is 2 and was so emaciated he doesn't have much training at all and will need someone to teach him.

This is Jean's Girl, or Norma Jean as we call her. She was found wandering the desert all alone and starving to death. A good Samaritan found her and tried, to no avail, to find where she came from.
She is tattooed and because of that we were able to obtain some information about her. From what we've found Norma Jean is a Tb who was born in 96, making her 24 years old. She sold as a yearling at the Keeneland Auction, a well known auction for race horses, but she was never raced. Unfortunately that's where her information ends.
She is so sweet so we know at one point she was loved but unfortunately we may never know the in-between. All we know is that we will make sure she is loved from this point forward. She is probably close to 17 hands tall and was amazing for the farrier. We know this gal will make an amazing horse once her recovery is finished but unfortunately that could take close to a year.
Prayers, Shares and Donations are greatly appreciated for Norma Jean and her recovery □

We would like to introduce you to one of our newest intakes, Carmen. Her owner had to move out of state to be with family when she was diagnosed with Cancer. She didn't want to leave Carmen but her health left her no choice.
Carmen is rideable but with her condition we won't know what she knows for quite some time.
She has a long road to recovery, but with veterinary care, farrier care and proper feeding and nutrition she has a good chance at making a full recovery.
Unfortunately, its not a fast process. Carmen will be with us most likely 6-12 months if not more. And that's if there are no underlying medical issues.
She will go through our usual intake process and once healthy enough, will go through our training evaluation to see what type of home she would best fit in!
Mora came to us as an owner surrender. She is a 28 year old Quarter horse mare. She has been enjoying retired life but her owner unfortunately passed away and she had no where to go so she came to us. She is so sweet and deserves a great place to call her forever retirement home.
Sanctuary Horses
He is in his late 30s, yes thats right, and came to us about 4 years ago skin and bones. He has made a beautiful recovery but due to his age and the fact that he is mostly blind, he will most likely remain here for the rest of his days.
He is on a special diet due to his age and the fact that his teeth do not work correctly. He is unable to process hay so he must be fed Timothy pellets and senior feed which adds to our expenses monthly...completely worth it!! He’s a very kind old soul that will still allow a rider and loves his time in the arena!

Poor little PepperJack, or PJ, came to D-S Rescue in bad shape and extremely emaciated. He has come so far since coming in!
He is in his mid 20s, mostly blind, has bad arthritis and is unfortunately still a stallion. Because of these issues PJ is a Sanctuary horse. Though we are not a sanctuary and don't take in Sanctuary animals, this little guy, and his want to live, stole our hearts.
This means lifetime care for his ailments. We are looking for a few folks who would be interested in a Sponsorship for sweet PJ!
Please check put our Sponsorship information at https://www.d-srescue.com/donate-here.html or you can make a one time donation here or on our website as well!
Without you, there is no way we can save horses like PJ!!! Please share, tag friends and donate if you can! Thank you for all your support!!

Though we don't take in Sanctuary animals, unfortunately in Rescue sometimes horses brought to us will never be healthy enough to be adopted out.
This is the case with Fortune. He is a Miniature Horse who is in his early 30s. He came to us 2 summers ago in a owner surrender case with half a dozen other minis, all emaciated, with long over due feet and minimal veterinary care. He, and 2 others in there late 20s to early 30s all became sanctuary horses.
If you're interested in sponsoring one of our Sanctuary horses please go to our Donations page.
