Welcome to Society for Hooved Animal Rescue and Emergencies, or as we affectionately refer to ourselves - SHARE
Our mission is to maintain the integrity, well-being, and health of hooved animals through education first.
SHARE is a nonprofit humane society in the Champaign, IL area with investigators that cover a large portion of Illinois. We provide housing, care, and training for approximately 40 rescue horses at any one time. Other than some "sanctuary horses-horses that are not available for adoption due to physical or health issues," these horses are up for adoption to loving, forever homes. SHARE DOES NOT RECEIVE ANY FUNDING FROM FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL TAXES - your donations keep SHARE operating!
Our goals are simple - help educate horse owners on proper care and treatment. When necessary we step in to rescue neglected and abuse animals. SHARE is not longer able to be rescuing horses, we are now a "sanctuary" for 40+ horses that are living out their lives at SHARE. We have adoptable, ride-able horses available and some horses that are available as pasture pet/companions. Please visit our ADOPTION page to see who is available for adoption.
This is not an easy task and only through the help of volunteers are we able to provide the best care to our rescued horses.
If you suspect abuse or neglect of a horse,
you need to contact the Illinois Department of Agriculture at 217-782-4944 to report this!!
Want to be a volunteer at SHARE?
If you find you have some extra time on your hands or would to spend some time with horses, then perhaps you could consider becoming a volunteer at SHARE! Volunteers are always needed mornings and evenings to help feed and water horses, bring them in or put them out in the pastures and even spend some time grooming the horses.
SHARE is needing volunteers for Saturday and Sunday mornings - desperately! It's a wonderful way to get your horse-y fix!
If you would like to be a volunteer at SHARE, please contact us at sharehorses@gmail.com or contact our volunteer coordinator Kim at kimthiede1@gmail.com and she can set up a time for you to come out for orientation which all our volunteers attend.
THANK YOU:
SHARE thanks all the volunteers and those who donate either their time and money in making SHARE work smoothly.
SHARE OPEN HOUSE - Oh, the weather was beautiful, full of sunshine and fun for the first weekend in November! We enjoyed the games, the wonderful music, the breed parade and the Costume Parade, which was small but adorable. The Ghost Busting duo of Kim and Nick won the Costume Parade! Everyone had a wonderful day!

of the month
DENISE
Meet Denise - she was picked as the October Volunteer of the Month. Out of the volunteers who came at least once in October, her name was drawn out of a hat. She wins a $10 Dairy Queen gift card.
"I've been volunteering since June of 22. Fun Fact ... I have scuba dived with sharks!" Denise said. Denise is pictured here with Jack, a non-SHARE horse.
Volunteering at SHARE may not be as exciting as diving with sharks, but Denise is always willing to help when needed and always with a smile! Congratulations being drawn as our SHARE Volunteer of the Month
If you'd like to volunteer at SHARE, please contact Kim at kimthiede1@gmail.com for more information. Volunteers are always needed for evening chores, especially Wednesday and Sundays - a great way to get your horsey fix!
