Horse Adoption & Rescue - Horse Directories

Dreamcatchers Equine Rescue (DCER) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, founded in 2007, made up of a group of dedicated individuals who have come together, in their love of horses, to do what we can to preserve the dignity of these magnificent creatures!

Our horses have come to Horses of Tir Na Nog from a variety of sources. Several were PMU foals/mares from Canada, one is a BLM mustang, others were riding horses, and one was a racehorse. All of our horses serve the important role of “ambassadors,” regardless of their ability to be ridden. We invite you to meet our herd here on our WEB Site. Some of their stories will tug at your heart strings. As you get to know our herd, we hope that you will join us in celebrating the unique qualities of each horse. It is the special character of each member of our herd that motivates us on a daily basis.

Habitat for Horses is a non-profit equine protection agency committed to the prevention, rescue and rehabilitation of neglected, abused and homeless equine. While being responsive to calls for assistance from law enforcement, the organization maintains a leadership role in horse protection issues and assist in setting the standards for all equine facilities throughout the US.

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.

Dreamchaser is dedicated to rescuing horses at risk of slaughter from feedlots, abuse, and abandonment, as well as other animals and placing them with qualified families.

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.
