Horse Adoption & Rescue - Horse Directories

Milller’s Equestrian Center & Sanctuary is a 501c[3] nonprofit organization that provides programs for children, teaching important life lessons through interaction, training, riding and caring for horses. Its sanctuary is a nokill, rescue facility where unwanted and abused horses are taken in, evaluated, rehabilitated and retrained for a purpose. Programs at Miller”s lay a solid foundation for a healthy, happy, responsible child and a happy, purposeful horse.

Equine Encore Foundation is a non-profit (501) (c) (3) corporation whose mission is to provide a retirement home for racehorses, both Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses, who have served the industry well but whose racing careers have come to an end and who deserve to hang up their racing plates and bask in the Arizona sun. As with all rescue operations, the major challenge is funding. We receive support from the industry with our major supporters being CARMA, Thoroughbred Charities of America, Second Call of Turf Paradise in Phoenix, AZ, The Arizona Racing Commission, the Arizona Quarter Racing Association and the Pima County Horsemen’s Association. Support also comes from grateful racehorse owners and fans of the sport. We are working to establish a “social security” system for all racehorses through the racetracks but this is a difficult task. We are hopeful that horse lovers in general and racehorse lovers specifically will help us with their tax-deductible donations. Donations can be made online or mailed directly to us.

California Coastal Horse Rescue, founded in 2000, cares for those horses that no one else will care for. We provide food, shelter, rehabilitation, medical care, and adoption services for horses that have been abused, abandoned or neglected.

To save and rehabilitate horses, restore their trust in humankind and find them safe, loving and permanent adoptive homes.

Indiana Horse Rescue was established in 1998 as an equine rescue organization dedicated to preventing unnecessary slaughter, abuse, and neglect of horses. Indiana Horse Rescue joined forces with Animal Protection Coalition, Inc. in 2002 becoming their equine division.

We rescue and rehabilitation of hooved animals including horses, donkeys, mules, cattle, llamas, alpacas, pigs, goats, and sheep.

The need to find homes for horses retiring off the race track is great. After The Homestretch-Arizona was formed to fill this niche. From the idea to the reality happened in a very short time span. Nine people expressed a desire to form a Board. We applied to the State of Arizona to become a non-profit corporation and received approval July 25, 2011. Our first Board meeting was held on August 25, 2011 and we immediately applied to the IRS for our 501(c)(3) status. Within three weeks we received our IRS Determination Letter (September 15, 2011). In October we began rescuing horses who had retired from the track.
