Success Stories From SHARE

Every day, there are probably hundreds of thousands of animals in need of rescue. Some, unfortunately, cannot be saved in time, or are discovered and rescued too late.

Thankfully, that isn't the way that it has to be for every abused or neglected animal.

SHARE - and organizations like them - come to the rescue of these creatures and rehabilitate them. Then, animals can be offered to loving homes.

Below are the success stories of SHARE - creatures who found a wonderful home with a caring new family.

Snapper

Snapper was relinquished to the Dept. of Agriculture and later relinquished to Share. He was a very thin Thorobred with Rain Rot and very little hair. Snapper gained weight rapidly and the rain rot was cured. He gradually grew his hair back. Snapper has a wonderful personality and was adopted to a great home in Western Illinois to a family with two small children. He is now happily sharing his home with several other horses and ponies.

Our First Adoptee (H.P.) Harry Potter and Dillon

Our first adoptee is a pony named H.P. or Harry Potter. His new and permanent owner is Dillon. Dillon and Harry Potter go trail riding with Dillon’s mother. H.P. Follow Dillon along the lane as Dillon comes home from school. H.P. has become very bonded to Dillon in a short time. H.P. is scheduled to begin training to pull a cart in the near future. Dillon’s mother is a former horse trainer and feels this will be no problem for H.P.

Snickers

Snicker is a paint pony donated because the owner could no longer keep him. He has been adopted by a couple who were looking for a pony to train to pull a cart and to keep their Arabian Gelding company. Snickers now has his own 12x12 stall and turn out and lots and lots of love. He lives in a wooded area with the Arabian Gelding and a couple who just love him.

The Five Freedoms

All animals under human care deserve "The Five Freedoms" 1. Freedom from hunger and thirst 2. Freedom from discomfort. 3. Freedom from pain, injury and disease. 4. Freedom to express normal behavior 5. Freedom from fear and distress.

Shimar

Shimar was rescued from an overpopulated breeder out of state. She was so thin that her growth was stunted. Her original rescuer realized that the care was too much for her. Shimar had multiple cuts and scrapes from being with the other horses she owned. After she realized it was too much for her, she contacted us wanting to know if we could take her. We cared for her and treated her wounds. She was like a wild horse and after care and work, she has been “gentled”. She has been adopted by a 12 year old girl and is now being started under saddle. Hurray for Shimar!
