HNBAR was founded in 2006 when a tragic accident took the life of a man who had several horses. His widow was not involved with the animals, so she didn't know what to do. When Joy learned of this she just knew in her heart that it was her calling to step in and help this woman and the animals that were left behind. The calls to help animals didn't stop after that, so on August 3, 2011 HNBAR became an official 501c3 Animal Rescue. HNBAR is run entirely by volunteers, and funding comes from the community or grants. The rescue focuses on taking in horses, livestock or other domestic animals that have been neglected or abused. The animals are provided with veterinary care, proper nutrition and given a chance to have proper socialization with humans so that they can be placed in loving, safe forever homes. HNBAR believes that through having children and families volunteer to work directly with the animals on their rehabilitation journey that we are providing a place to see compassion in action while offering a fun experience. The compassion we build in our children today will help ensure a future for the animals. Animals come into HNBAR through owner surrender, law enforcement personnel, community referrals and from local auctions. HNBAR also assists animals that have homes, but are in need to find a new one by helping the owners advertise and network. We also help animals find homes that are in kill pens or other shelters/rescues. HNBAR will assist owners in screening prospective homes to help make good matches that will save animals from going to auction or becoming at risk for neglect. HNBAR has helped rescue over 700 animals since being founded and we hope that with your help we can continue to increase that number!
Our policy at this time is to adopt our animals to families that live locally in Oregon. This allows us to help support you and the animal better after adoption, and if there is a need to to return the animal for any reason it makes that process easier for everyone, but most importantly for the animal. WE DO NOT SHIP ANIMALS. Since we focus on Physical & Nutritional Rehabilitation, many of the horses in our care will need their new family to provide the training they need. Since these are rescues we cannot guarantee their level of training, and we find that all animals adapt and change to their environment, so how an animal acts here with us could be different in a new situation. Every adoption allows for a 30-day trial and if things do not work out then you may arrange to bring the animal back and get a full refund of your adoption fee. After 30 days you may arrange to bring the animal back but there is no refund of any fees. Beginner level horses or "Babysitter/Husband" horses are considered "Dream Horses", they are not usually the ones that come into rescue, but they do at times. Most of our horses are going to require that the new owners work with them to learn what training they have, and what training they need. We always suggest working with a reputable trainer when adopting or buying a new horse. All adoptions require a contract. There is no adoption application. You can contact us about the animal you are interested in through our Facebook Messenger. We will then contact you to discuss the animal, and take the time to get to know you a bit and what you are looking for in the animal companion. We will then work with you to schedule a "Meet & Greet". Since many of our animals come from abuse and neglect situations, we need to know that there is a good match between the adopter and the animal. Sometimes the pictures and background sound perfect, but when the adopter and animal actually meet there is not a "connection" between the two. Meet & Greet Sessions are held by appointment and the sessions usually run an hour or more. You will only meet with the specific animal(s) you are interested in and ones that we feel match with you best. Unfortunately, we are not able to do meet & greets with every animal that is available for adoption, since we have so many animals to care for, we do have to be mindful of our time so that the animals are getting the care that they need and deserve. Please be on time for your appointment as we may have other appointments scheduled after your time. We thank you for your help and understanding. Some adoptions will require that a home check is made before placing the animal. This depends on the animal and its history. We may require a background check. We do request personal and veterinary references. We reserve the right to deny an adoption for any reason, as we always have to keep the well being of our rescues as the top priority.
