ADOPTION

Horses are placed with approved adoptors on a first come - best fit basis. Please mail your application to us along with your application fee. Applications can be processed within 1-3 days.

Adopters must be over 21 years old and have sufficient horse care knowledge to adopt. Decisions are based on the applicant's horse knowledge, safety and quality of the facility, integrity and references.

Transportation is the responsibility of the adoptor. We also ask for an adoption donation, which varies by the horse's level of use. Adoption fees start at $400 and range up to $1,000. An adoption donation may be reduced or waived for "Pasture Mates" or companion horses. There is a nonrefundable application of $50 which is due at the time your application is received.

Our adopted horses can never be bred, raced, or given away. We are looking for lifetime homes. We do understand that sometimes an adopter's circumstances change, or some adopters take in horses for training purposes. It is written into our adoption agreement that WFLF LERR is always in contact with the current owner of the horse. We must also have first right of refusal for any horse that is adopted. This includes future owners beyond the initial adopter. If an adopter can no longer provide good care for the horse, or has an immediate need to re-home a horse they have adopted, the horse can come back to WFLF LERR for any reason at all.

FOSTER HOME PROGRAM

Do you have room in your heart and your barn for just one more?

For every horse that you foster on our behalf, we can save another life. Foster horses are pasture-sound and easy to integrate into your herd of horses. If you love the company of horses and have adequate pasture and shelter, you can be part of the solution.

Foster Home Procedures
1. Request Foster Home Application, fill out and return.
2. No application fee is needed for short term guardianship (1-6 months). A nonrefundable application fee of $50 is required for long term foster care.
3. Meet with one of our representatives to discuss your needs and desires to have guardianship over one or more rescued horse(s).
4. The boarding facility that you select or your own farm must meet LERR guidelines and will be visited by a LERR representative.
5. Once you have been matched with an appropriate horse and your own farm or your boarding facility has been approved by LERR, transportation may then be arranged for your horse(s) to be moved to the new location.
6. After completion of the above procedures, approved guardians are requested to make a donation to help defray the veterinary, farrier, and feed costs incurred with rescuing the horse(s) you have selected. Donations begin at $400 and may range up to $1,000 depending on the horse(s).
