Welcome to Horse Heaven Equine Rescue
We are dedicated to giving horses a second chance through rehabilitation, adoption, and becoming part of our sister program, Healing Hearts with Horses. If you need to surrender your horse for any reason, or you are concerned for a horse's welfare, please call Deb at 515-210-2565 for assistance.
There are many reasons why horses need to be brought to an equine shelter. Their current owners, through no fault of their own, may no longer be able to financially care for their horses. Other horses may be brought in because their owners just don't have the time for proper care and handling and want to find a better suited home for their horse. Still others come because they are considered "killer" horses (deemed dangerous because of violent behavior with current owners) and just need an understanding handler to bring them around. Then there are those who have been abused, neglected, and unloved. All of these horses deserve a second chance at a high quality life.
After the horses are rehabilitated and deemed physically and mentally sound, they are ready for adoption! Please visit the adoptable horses page to see who is currently available for adoption. Please call Deb to set up a time to get to know the horses, and see if one of them chooses you as their new friend! Always consider adopting from a shelter, before purchasing from a breeder, no matter what type of animal you are looking to bring into your home. Don't help perpetuate the problem, be an answer to the problem.
