Mission Statement:

Horses' Haven is a registered 501 c (3) not-for-profit humane care and adoption agency whose mission is to take in and provide humane care for aged, abused, unwanted, rescued and neglected horses, or horses whose owners can no longer keep or care for them.

Philosophy/Belief Statement:

Our goals are to rehabilitate, retrain and provide shelter for these animals until suitable homes can be found, or to permanently care for those animals for which homes are unavailable. We are not limited to taking in horses, and if certain conditions exist, we will accept any large animal.

Program History:

Horses' Haven began in 1995. We care for horses, ponies, donkeys and any other large animal in need and, when appropriate, find them new homes in a caring humane environment.
Assist rescue organizations in any way we can to provide shelter, volunteers, and any other needed aid. Also to find caring new homes for rescued animals so they never have to suffer inhumane treatment again.
Accept donated horses, ponies, etc. and, if necessary, retrain and rehabilitate them until new homes become available.
Provide sanctuary for those animals not suitable for adoption, but who are able to maintain a good quality of life in a compassionate and humane environment.
Conduct rigorous follow-up on all adopted animals to ensure that they are well provided for throughout their lifetime.
Introduce the public to the wonderful world of horses.

Events:

Horses' Haven needs volunteers to perform basic horse care at our farm in Howell, MI. We'll teach you everything you want to know about horses - no experience necessary! We have 2 shifts every day, seven days a week - 8 AM or 4 PM. Shifts run approx. 5 hours long. Volunteers pick a day and time and volunteer on the same day every week. We are looking for a long term commitment of at least 6 months (or forever!). Volunteering is a great way to get some exercise, fresh air, meet new friends and learn about horses. To experience this rewarding opportunity, please call/email Lynn at lynxdonell@aol.com or 734-425-2156. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
