| It is the goal of Care For The Horses to provide
assistance as may be needed to ensure that no horse(s) is subjected
to neglect or abuse because no assistance was available. |
| |
| There may come a time that an individual is facing
some hardship, due to illness, job change, divorce, etc. At times
like this a person may find it difficult to maintain their horses
care both in feeding them and caring for their health needs. |
| |
| This program is offered to ensure that during
those times, help will be available for you to get you through those
most difficult times. |
| |
| It is very easy for someone to request assistance.
All you need to do is to call Ann at (520) 378-0896 or leave a message
if there is no answer and someone will contact you to find out how
Care For The Horses may assist you. All information is kept confidential.
|
| |
| An appointment is setup to meet with you and
access what kind of help may be needed and the possible duration that
assistance will be provided. |
| |
| Care For The Horses will provide feed, grain,
foot care, and veterinarian care during this time to maintain the
well being of your horse(s). Feed can be purchased at the local feed
mills by the Care For The Horses program and you may just make the
arrangements to pick it up. You may continue to use your personal
farrier or veterinarian. |
| |
| After assessing your situation, a contract will
be filled out formalizing your request for assistance and what may
need to be provided by the program. |
| |
| Assistance is generally provided for 1-3 months
as needed. Upon completion of the assistance period it is required
that a portion of the costs for the care provided be reimbursed to
Care For The Horses. |
| |
| Repayment can be taken care of over a period
of a few months, with a small payment plan setup for this. The program
will work individuals to ensure that no further hardship is endured
during the repayment process. |
| |
| If you only need assistance with medical care
for your horse(s), Care For The Horses will also provide financial
assistance to ensure your horse’s health is maintained. As with the
feed assistance, all you need to do to request help is to call Ann
at (520) 378-0896 to set up a time to meet and formally request the
type of care the program is to provide. Costs for the medical assistance
provided to your horse(s) will be paid back again over a period of
time to ensure than no further financial hardship will be placed on
you. |
| |
| If there comes the time after the 2-3 month feed
assistance period that it is evident that you will not be able to
provide for the permanent care your horse(s) require, the animals
may be turned over to the program for foster care until a permanent
home can be found. Should you choose this option, no further payment
is to be received for the reimbursement of assistance that was previously
provided by the program. |
| |
| Our foster homes have been pre-certified to make
sure that your horse(s) will be in the best hands possible. We know
you want the best care possible to be provided to them when you are
no longer able to do so yourself. |
| |
| The public is informed via, posters, newspaper
articles, and word of mouth etc. that there is a horse(s) available
for adoption. Perspective adoptees are screened and the home where
the horse(s) may go is certified to make sure that the best possible
home is found for your horse. |
