Surrender an Equine
At From the Ashes Horse Rescue and Rehabilitation, we understand that surrendering an equine can be a difficult decision. Our mission is to ensure every horse has a chance at a better future through proper care, rehabilitation, and placement. If you need to rehome your equine, we are here to help.
Please remember:
The surrender process is permanent: By surrendering your equine, you irrevocably transfer all rights, titles, and interests to From the Ashes Horse Rescue and Rehabilitation.
We do not charge a surrender fee, but monetary donations are greatly appreciated to offset the cost of care.
Honesty is essential: Providing accurate information about your equine’s health, behavior, and history ensures we can meet their needs.
