What we aim to solve
The dream of starting a rescue began a few years ago as a casual conversation among friends. As experienced volunteers and employees of horse rescues, Lori and Barb saw that there was a need to focus on rescuing and serving the miniature equine community. Mini horses and mini donkeys are in demand in the Pacific Northwest and their unique attributes make them great family members. There are far too many of these little equines sitting in backyards, at auction houses and in kill pens across the United States forgotten, neglected and uncared in the unwanted, nursing them back to health, getting them into their perfect homes is what we are all about. Importantly, we believe in respecting the relationships these equines have and will not break up bonded pairs. We focus on the whole animal. Each of our animals receives all necessary physical and mental services needed including veterinary, dental, farrier, nutritional, bodywork, training and socialization. When they’re ready to

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Lifetime care for miniature donkeys and miniature horses
When an abused, neglected, forgotten miniature horse or donkey comes to us, we provide a lifetime commitment. We take care of their physical health - vaccinations, dental, hoof care as well as resolving any current illnesses. We take care of their mental health - protecting all pair bondings, ensuring safe and fear free handling for vet and farrier services, and ability to be calmly led and groomed. And we ensure that they are well cared for during their entire lifetime. Adoptees are carefully reviewed, and we continue to regularly check up on each animal's living situation. If something changes, they will always have a home at H.O.M.E.
