Adoption Update: Gizmo

Gizmo has been adopted!

Gizmo was abandoned, ignored and terrified of people when Pam entered his life.

After helping Clark County Animal Control safely load Gizmo, Pam knew that if Gizmo could become a more trusting horse, that she wanted to be his eventual safe landing. Today, Pam signed adoption papers and took Gizmo home. A new life full of trust has finally begun for him.

Please say hello to our Christmas Trio—Cindy Lou Who, Betty Lou Who and Major Augustus!

Christmas 2018 that is. These three horses have been in protective custody with us since December 6th, 2018. But they were not legally ours — so we could not tell their story or ask for help on their behalf — until 12:01 pm TODAY (December 20, 2019).

We have been quietly caring for these three horses for an entire year and, with the continued […]
