The Hooved Animal Humane Society (HAHS) is a Non-Profit 501(c)(3) organization, founded in 1971 by concerned and committed citizens. It is HAHS’ mission to promote the humane treatment of hooved animals through education, legislation, investigation and if necessary, legal intervention (impoundment). In addition, we provide physical rehabilitation to animals that have endured severe neglect and abuse and then adopt them out to loving forever homes.
If you think you might want to adopt one of our animals, please read through our online Adoption Criteria. If you meet these guidelines, the next step is to print out an iAdoption Application and a Release Waiver, complete them, and mail or fax it to our office. If you are interested in adopting one of our rideable horses you will also need to complete the rideable questionnaire. If you are looking for a horse and are uncertain of which one might suit your needs, we ask that you please call the HAHS office 815-337-5563. Once we have received your application and discussed which animal is best suited for you, we will set up a time for you to come to the farm and meet the animal you are interested in! If you are interested in a riding horse, there are a few more steps to follow including a riding visit at a local farm. From there, an investigator will set up a time with you to drop by and inspect your facility or the boarding facility where you intend to keep your animal, we run a background check and farrier/vet reference check. If everything checks out, we then send you and your new animal home to get to know each other! Periodically, we'll call and stop by with an appointment, to see how you and your new companion are doing. Of course, we would love you to send us pictures and letters too! We love to hear what horses from the HAHS farm are up to.
