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

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 25 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 for someone!!

Baby Linus is ready for his forever home!!!
It's been a few years since this tiny emaciated baby came in with a nail embedded in his hoof. Take a good look at his progress in these photos!!
He is now healthy, happy, gelded 3.5 year old and ready to find his forever person!!
He ties, leads, trailers, does good for the farrier and has had a saddle on. He is pretty desensitized as you can see with him eating on the tarps! He is also great in a herd setting with mares and other geldings!
He has such potential and as a gelding should excel in any direction! We’ve spent the last year and a half mending his body and mind… we don’t rush things here□□
Send us a message if you're interested in meeting and adopting Linus !!

Sunny has been used as a kids lead line back yard pet for the last several years and is looking for his forever home! He is still rideable for light riding and loves visits from the grand kids! He is in his mid 30s but that doesn't slow him down!
He loves to be wet and loves attention. If you're looking for a good horse, he is your boy!
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!

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.
