Hickory Hill Farm is a 501c3 rescue farm operating via a network of foster facilities throughout Tennessee. We offer horse rescue services for law enforcement & animal control, assistance for responsible owners, provide enriching programs for youth, & visit and engage with the community with our Pet Partner Registered Therapy Horse teams.
Adopting from Hickory Hill Farm is a simple process. The first step is to complete our adoption application. Once submitted, the adoption application goes to our Adoption Coordinator. The Coordinator will review the application with the Adoption Committee which includes contacting references for a brief phone interview. Someone from our Adoption Committee will then contact you to schedule your site visit. Our site visits are brief and not intended to cause our adopters any inconvenience or stress. A Hickory Hill Farm Volunteer will visit the place where your adopted animal will be staying, complete our Site Visit Checklist, and take a few photos which will go along with your application for review. Our Adoption Committee strives to keep this processing and approval time to approximately seven days. Obviously, this does depend on your location and scheduling constraints. Adoption applicants that are not located in the Greater Nashville area of Middle Tennessee will take longer to process. Once approved, we will schedule you a time to come visit the equine you are interested in on our farm! Please note that no equine will be allowed to leave our facility until we have a signed Adoption Contract in file and the adoption fee has been paid in full.
