Many of the rescues at Rainbow Meadows Equine Rescue and Retirement, Inc. are available for adoption to a loving home. See our rescues!

Adopting a rescued horse can be an incredibly rewarding experience. Click here to read Horse & Rider magazine's article "Adopt a Rescue Horse - What you need to know" to help you know what you should expect.

THE PROCESS:

	Step 1	An adoption application is completed. Download adoption application*

	Step 2	A personal interview is conducted with the adopter, preferably at Rainbow Meadows Ranch.

	Step 3	An evaluation/inspection of the horse's future home is completed. Download facility inspection protocol *(Please note: Horses will only be adopted out to homes where they will be provided with a companion, such as another horse, mule or donkey.)*

Want to adopt a horse? Be sure to prepare yourself for horse ownership!

	Step 4	An appropriate "match" is made between the horse and new adoptive owner.

	Step 5	An Adoption Agreement is signed indicating that the new adoptive owner understands their responsibilities and our continued involvement in the horse's life. Read Adoption Agreement

	Step 6	Hopefully, the adopter believes in our mission and *provides us a donation* that will allow us to save another horse. We choose not to require minimum adoption fees as we have the confidence in our adopters that they will support our work by offering a financial gift when they acquire a horse through us.
