Adoption
We try to find caring homes for all rideable horses. To qualify for adoption, your facility (or boarding situation) must meet the same strict criteria that we place on our own facility. Regular health exams, hoof and teeth care and certain inoculations are required after the horse moves to its new home. DEC:R³ horses may not be adopted for breeding purposes.. An adoption fee will be charged to help recover rehabilitation costs. Adoption forms will be online soon.

Fostering
Horses that are not rideable are often suitable for companion animals. DEC:R³ horses that are not available for adoption are generally placed in the foster program. Fostering a horse means that the horse will move to your facility and you are responsible for all of its care and costs of upkeep under the Center's guidelines. Foster facilities must meet the same criteria of adoption facilities. Because you are offing an off-site home for a DEC:R³ animal, care expenses are tax deductible. Online fostering forms will be available soon.

On-site Care Provider
A unique opportunity to have a hands-on learning experience. DEC:R³ experienced staff teaches you how to provide daily care for a horse, determine costs of upkeep and how to meet a horse's needs. As a premium member of DEC:R^3, you have the chance to select a horse and care for it on a daily basis. This unique "Save a Horse" education program helps prepare you to adopt or foster a horse.

Sponsoring
You may also join our sponsorship program. Sponsors receive a photo and history of their horse and recognition on the website. Sponsors are welcome to visit their horses at the facility. More information is available on the "you can help!" page of this site.
