Shelby’s FAQs

What is Saffyre Sanctuary, Inc.’s adoption process?

Saffyre Sanctuary specializes in matching the right horse with the right person.  We look for adopters who wish to provide a permanent, lifetime home for a horse and, are accepting of that horse's limitations.  Our wish is to ensure that a previously rescued horse never ends up in an unsavory situation again.  So many horses need to be rescued, that if we can break the cycle of abandonment, neglect, and abuse by educating people about proper horse care, then together we can give these horses a second chance at a full life. We prefer that the new owners keep the adopted horse for the remainder of its life but, if circumstances make that impossible, then we will assist the owner in finding a safe and loving home for the horse.  (Note: adoption fees will only be returned within the first 10 days).  Our horses are available for adoption to qualified homes only.  Unless we already know you, we will ask for references from your farrier, veterinarian, or other sources.
