Hope For Hooves Rescue and Adoption

Hope For Hooves Rescue and Adoption was established in April 2018 to rescue and rehabilitate neglected, abused and abandoned equine and livestock in Colorado. Each year, horses specifically, from the United States are auctioned and sent to slaughter houses in Canada and Mexico to be processed and exported overseas for human consumption. Until 2017, approximately 137,000 horses were transported and slaughtered annually in these two countries alone. Due to rescues like Hope For Hooves Rescue and Adoption, that number has decreased to approximately 24,000 in 2021 (source: Horse Slaughter Statistics (awionline.org)). Our hope is to educate prospective horse owners the responsibility involved in living with horses, as well as offer an alternative option for horses that can no longer be cared for due to financial issues, family illness or other matters.
