ADOPTIONS
Our ultimate goal for most of the
horses at Dreamchaser is to place them in
good, loving, forever homes. If you are looking to add a
horse to your family, please consider one of our horses.
Please note the adoption criteria
below:
CURRENT ADOPTABLE HORSES
ADOPTION CRITERIA
1) In order to qualify for adopting a
horse:
-
already own a horse, preferably
at least five years
-
maintain the animal(s) on your
own property where you reside,
-
be 18 years of age or over
2) A barn or lean-to, safe and proper
fencing (board or wire mesh is appropriate--not barbed
wire), and adequate water/feed supply (including a way
to keep water from freezing in the winter) is required.
3) The adoptive owner(s) must provide
the name, phone number and address of their
veterinarian, farrier, and person who will care for the
animals when the owner is away.
4) Periodic checks may be made of adopted animal(s) by a
DPMU representative for the lifetime of the horse. The
adoptive owner agrees to submit a DPMU Adoption Update
Form on the animal(s) each year on or before the date of
adoption until DPMU deems this is no longer necessary.
5) All animal(s) will go to the best/most appropriate
home that we feel meets the horses needs.
Our
fees are based on what it cost us to procure the animal
and pay vet and shipping costs.
6) Any animal adopted from DPMU may not be moved to a
new location or leased or loaned to another person
without prior approval from DPMU. DPMU also reserves the
right of first refusal if for any reason the adoptive
owner is unable or unwilling to maintain the animal
properly.
7) DPMU cannot guarantee any animal(s) as to its
disposition or training. Animals which come into our
custody are usually young and untrained. Due to their
usually debilitated condition, temperament generally
changes with proper care. DPMU will include with each
adoption a complete file on the animal(s), which will
explain how the animal came to be on the farm, what
veterinary care it received while it was here and what
the staff has personally noticed about the animal's
disposition and training.
Because certain homes that do not meet our preliminary
criteria may qualify to adopt certain animals, please
contact the office if you have any question about your
eligibility.
