How to Adopt
The adoption process is through Linn County Animal Rescue. There is a form to fill out, a background check done by the Sheriff’s office, property inspection, and an adoption fee charged.
The horses that can be adopted are back up to weight, but some may have special needs. We will give you as much information as possible on each horse. Rescue horses are just what the word implies, rescued. We don’t know the whole story and can’t tell you exactly what to expect, but will help you and the equine as best we can for a smooth transition.
The adoption charge is on a sliding scale, depending on the horse, starting at $100. The horse to be adopted is evaluated and depending on age, condition, and usability (ridable, pasture pal, etc), a price is set. The money from the adoption fee goes back into the rescue operation and allows us to rescue other horses in need.
If you move or can no longer take care of the adopted horse it must be returned to Linn County Animal Rescue. There will also be a form to sign that indicates that mares cannot be bred. If that rule is broken, both the mare and foal will be surrendered back to LCAR. All stallions will be gelded before being adopted out.
The adoption process can take a few weeks. Please be patient as we are a 100% volunteer-run organization.
We are looking for people that care about animals and wish to be a part of their lives. These animals (as do all of us) need to be cared for to make the rest of their lives happy and healthy.
