Our organization will only re-home an equine to a location where another equine resides

Additional information about our rehoming policies and practices:
For the first year of adoption process, the Director conducts weekly on-site visits during the first month of placement to assist with any training or care issues. Following the first month, a monthly visit is conducted on-site for the next 11 months. Ownership is transferred to the new adopter, but Penny Lane Foal Rescue remains as the primary contact on the microchip for the life of the horse. On our transfer document it stipulates that any Penny Lane Foal Rescue equine that has been adopted must return to our facility if the adopter cannot or does not want to care for it any longer. We have stipulated that we will pursue civil litigation for the entire cost of caring for the adopted horse if this mandate is breached. Our adopters remain in contact with us following the transfer of ownership with photos, emails, and texts.
Penny Lane Foal Rescue can serve 15 horses at the facility, although we have systems in place to operate below capacity at 10-11 equines, so that we will always have space available if one of our adopted horses needs to be returned. We have partnered with rescues experienced with rehabilitating orphans and working with wild horse in Arizona and northern New Mexico to have the healthier, older orphans transferred to these other facilities. We can then focus on the medically fragile orphans that are sick or have been attacked by wild dogs or stallions since many of the other rescues often do not have the experience, time, or resources to rehabilitate them. We offer financial assistance to the other rescues towards their care so they can receive what they need, including gelding assistance and vaccinations. By triaging these orphans with our partners, Penny Lane Foal Rescue maintains the resources to take in those with the most intensive needs, while keeping space available for any possible adoption returns to our facility.
