WFLF's SAFE HAVEN NETWORK - FOSTER HOME PROGRAM

Do you have room in your heart and your barn for just one more? WFLF's Safe haven Network

You can help by fostering a horse in need. Contact us to learn more and join our network. With your help, horses in need can receive a second chance at life and the much needed time for transition into permanent placement down the line. If you have room for a horse in need, or know someone else that does, please contact us directly.

For every horse that you foster on our behalf, we can save another life. If you love the company of horses and have adequate pasture and shelter, you can help a horse in need.

WFLF's foster program is founded on our Forever Safe Harbor Mission which strives to assure forever safe refuge for each and every rescued horse and burro under WFLF's program. Qualified compassionate fosters like you play a vital role in providing the assurance of safe housing and loving care for each rescued equine in our foster program.

Foster Care providers must be over 21 years old and have sufficient horse care knowledge to foster. Decisions are based on the applicant's knowledge and experience, financial ability, best fit/ match per equine candidate, as well as the safety and quality of the new home facility. References are required.

ADOPTION

WFLF's adoption program is founded on our Forever Safe Harbor Mission which assures forever safe refuge for each and every rescued horse and burro under our program. Qualified compassionate adopters and fosters like you play a vital role in providing the assurance of safe housing and loving care for the lifetime of each rescued equine in our adoption and foster program.

Rescued equines that have been cleared for adoption are placed with approved applicants on a first come - best fit basis. Both the background of the horse and the background of the adoptor are considered during the placement process.

Adopters must be over 21 years old and have sufficient horse care knowledge to adopt. Decisions are based LERR BNR on the applicant's knowledge and experience, financial ability, as well as the safety and quality of the new home facility. References are required.

Transportation is the responsibility of the adoptor. We also ask for an adoption donation, which varies by the horse's disclipline, background and training. Adoption fees start at $500 and range up to $1,000. An adoption donation may be reduced for "Pasture Mates" and some "Companion Horses".

We are looking for quality lifetime homes for these equines in need.

WFLF-LER Adoption and Foster Standards of Care:

Our adoption and foster process involves a thorough application process. We exercise stringent adoption and foster care guidelines and policies to help assure the lifelong safety and welfare of each rescued equine in our program. Both the background of the horse and the background of the adopter are considered during the placement process.

MORE ABOUT WFLF's GUIDELINES

We take applications on a case-by-case basis as we want to ensure a good match of horse and adopter. Before emailing an application to a potential adopter, we like to discuss his/her horsekeeping and equine handling experience and confidence level as well as riding experience and style, to ascertain the suitability of the horse that they may be expressing interest in. If we decide the horse is not suitable to the adopter's needs, we may suggest another one of ours OR refer the applicant to another organization to find a more suitable rescue horse.

General safeguards are built into WFLF Guidelines for Care and its adoption and foster agreements. These safeguards require due deligence by each adopter and foster care provider and reserve WFLF's right to repossess foster and adopted equines if the terms are not met.

WFLF's is dedicated to the lifetime safety and wellfare of each horse under its umbrella. Long term placement of equines into foster and adoptive homes makes it possible to WFLF to serve a greater population of equines in need. Though optimally qualified equines may receive lifetime care and residency with approved 'conditional guardians', we understand that circumstances can change, and even the most loving and best intentioned people may at some point become unable to provide the essential care required. WFLF therefore exercises certain safeguards and requirements in the best interest of each foster and adoptive equine.

NOTE: Accredidation under WFLF's Safe Haven Network is a privilege which can be revoked if the foster or adopter fails to uphold WFLF standards of care policies, foster/ adoption requirements, and or best practices.

The WFLF considers program measurement a proud companion to the transparency that earned our non-profit foundation the prestigious Platinum GuideStar Nonprofit Profile Seal of Transparency year after year
