Surrender Information: Equine and Farm Center

• We ask that the animal’s owner be present at the time of surrender. If this isn’t possible, please call an Adoption Center to make other arrangements.
• Gather your animal’s medical records, as well as the name and phone number of their most current veterinarian.
• We request a donation to help cover the costs of the animal while it is in our care. This amount may varies depending on the type of animal.

We are limited in the number of animals that we can accommodate at the farm and for this reason our primary focus is on horses and farm animals who may be considered at-risk.  We encourage you to seek alternative placement for your animals, and we will gladly suggest resources should you need assistance. We have many success stories of facilitating new homes for animals outside of our program! Being able to stay in a familiar and loving home while searching for an adopter reduces stress for the animals and ultimately allows us to help even more animals.

While we try our best to find homes for every animal that is brought to us, we are often faced with difficult euthanasia decisions when an animal is not medically or behaviorally sound for adoption. We do not make this decision based on length of stay or space. The adoption center environment can be a very stressful place for a pet. While we do our best to make each animal feel as comfortable as possible, it is not a home. It is for this reason that we look to you to try everything you can to work on the situation you are facing before surrendering your animal to us.

Are you a responsible horse owner with a short term need? The MSPCA Emergency Equine Relief Fund may be able to help with the cost of hay, grain, or other care depending on the situation.
