Charlotte, 6 Year Old Saves her Money to Help Horses...
Recently we received a handwritten note & donation from a lovely young lady named, Charlotte.
She writes with a little help from mom, "My name is Charlotte and I am 6 years old. I have been saving my money to help the horses. When I grow up I am going to be a vet that helps horses and other animals.
How are the horses? I like how you help the horses.
From Charlotte"
It is days like this that make us smile...I imagine the toys or candy she could have bought with her money...instead this generous little girl chose to help us help horses instead. Priceless.
We will be sending her a thank you card, an Angel Acres coloring book and a few pics of the gang!

WHY on Earth are your horses free to good home?!
We get asked this A LOT...and we're finally gonna put it out to the general public.
First, what does "FREE to Angel Acres APPROVED home" mean, exactly?
Click HERE for the answer and information on our Dollar Program Horses.
Our horses are free to approved home because we want to place them quickly into good homes so we can rescue more horses. When there is a fee that greatly reduces their chances of adoption. We used to have adoption fees (and there are TONS of good rescues that charge adoption fees, we simply have chosen to hold other events, fundraisers, etc that offset those fees) but realized it didn't matter whether someone paid $500, $2500 or $5000 the SAME exact situations (causing return of horse) occurred at all adoption fee levels.
You might be thinking, "Holy COW!! They are just giving horses away to anyone who shows up!!" Um...no...lol...
There IS a financial investment on the part of adopter - after they fill out application (it is thoroughly screened) are approved for adoption and adoption contract is signed - they are REQUIRED to use a hauler of our choosing. We use specific haulers that are essentially our eyes on the ground & will return the horse to us if property / adopter / whatever is not legit, etc.
EXAMPLE: We don't allow barbed wire fencing to house our horses. If potential adopter states they have no barbed wire on application, but hauler gets there with horse, and barbed wire is present, horse comes back to Angel Acres. It really does goes down just like that. (That's just ONE example of what could cause a return haul)
ALL Dollar Program horse are up to date on everything, yes everything. Shots, feet, teeth, worming, Coggins, etc .
ALL Dollar Program horses are being schooled on the flat and over fences until they day they leave.
We work VERY hard to make a good match between horse and adopter. We are as thorough as we can be without being "Super Stalker Detective Rescue".
You will never be stuck with an Angel Acres horse. If we can't accept them back at the moment you should need to return them (we hope that never happens but we aware that we are not in Lollipop Land of Fairies and Glitter & forever happy endings sometimes turn into "happy for now - till happy ending can be found") we will remote place them, board them out...whatever it takes to ensure our horses are safe, happy and healthy.
We will NEVER turn away our own horse, ever.

The Craigslist mare, Zing, gets adopted EXACTLY one year later! YAY!
Remember Zing? The CraigsList Appendix mare we rescued a year ago? She had been tied in the front yard with a dog chain, among other things? Her original story is HERE.
After a year of rehabbing, gaining weight, growing back her tail and figuring out she was a sneaky midnight cribber lol...she's been adopted by new Mom, Bethany, oddly enough, one year to the day that we rescued her!!
SCROLL TO SEE ZING TODAY!!!
She is doing well...here she is in her new home with Bethany...

Onassis - Her New Life Begins! YAY!
Remember Onassis? The grey drafty mare that was abandoned on the farm owner along with her companion mare? They had been dropped off for boarding. They were not in the best shape when they arrived - folks asked if they were rescues. (Onassis had been "rescued" from auction by owner and other mare had been adopted from another rescue)
When farm owner realized the horses were in trouble (owner making excuses, not paying board, not getting vet care horses need, etc) she called us, we suggested she contact other rescue to make them aware that horse owner was not paying board, not returning calls, etc. The rescue took back their mare and Angel Acres offered assistance with placing Onassis.
That process was delayed because during her "routine" vet visit (vet brought in immediately after horses were deemed abandoned) it was discovered she had a severe uterine infection and also needed surgery to repair the issue causing the infection.
We reached out to our readers and supporters to help us help Onassis and you did. The biggest donor was Animal Crime Institute covering half the cost of Onassis surgery!
This is her today (well, yesterday lol) going to her forever home with new mom, Lois!!
Our biggest thanks to everyone who helped us get this mare healthy and into a wonderful new home!!
WE LOVE HAPPY ENDINGS!!
