For Adoption

Available for adoption. Pepe is 30" tall, gelded, halter broke, approximately 10 years old, and will trailer load.  

  Pepe is a gelded black mini with just a touch of chrome. He's a spitfire in a tiny package. He came to us on September 20, 2024 as a surrender to a law enforcement agency who then signed him over to Elkdog. He was estimated to be 9 years old at that time and had been kept in a chain linked backyard in a town for seven years. Now that he's recovered from the fog of malnourishment and has experienced what it's like living in a herd with our other two minis, he is fully awake. He believes himself to still be a stallion and acts accordingly around the mares in season. Since being in our care, his teeth were floated in October 2024 and he was gelded in November 2024. He is current on his vaccinations and deworming. He seeks attention, loves scratches, and is easy to catch and halter. Pepe needs a forever home where he can be a horse, with a family who has experience with equines. A site inspection and veterinarian referral will be required.

Available for adoption. Buck is halter broke and will trailer load. He stands approximately 14.3 hands, accepts a saddle, but is not trained past that. 

  Buck is a gelded "bay dun frame-overo pinto with splash." He's unique. He came to us on September 18, 2016 with Missy, from Trinity Circle Horses Healing Hearts in Neosho, Missouri, in order for that rescue to make room for another animal in need. He was estimated to be 8 years old. He was moved to the Galena facility in March 2017 and then moved again with the others to Elkdog medicine Ranch in 2017 when it was first purchased. He believes himself to still be a stallion and acts accordingly around mares in season. He is still able to cover a mare successfully so we keep him separated from the main herd because of this. All the ladies love him. This behavior does not extend to his interactions with people. He seeks attention, is easy to catch and halter, and will follow you around the pasture out of curiosity. He accepts a saddle but doesn't appear to have a forward gear. Needs a refresher and lots of work before riding.

Available for adoption. Missy is halter broke and will trailer load. She stands approximately 14.2 hands and is not trained under-saddle. 

 Missy came to us with Buck on September 18, 2016 from Trinity Circle Horses Healing Hearts in Neosho, Missouri, in order for that rescue to make room for another animal in need. She was estimated to be 6 years old and pregnant. She was moved to the Galena facility in March 2017 and then moved again with the others to Elkdog medicine Ranch in 2017 when it was first purchased. She gave birth to Rain on April 8, 2017. To our knowledge, she has never been saddled or ridden. Her hooves consistently trim naturally so she is not in our trim schedule. 

Available for adoption. Andy is halter broke and will trailer load. He stands 14.2 hands and was gelded on 7/21/2017. 

This picture was taken of Andy the day we picked him up. Andy (changed from CJ) was transfered to Elkdog from Way's Ranch Horse Rescue in Quapaw, Oklahoma. He was our first neglect (under-nourished) rescue and was believed, by the previous rescue at the time, to be only fourteen months old. Doc Gregory from the Columbus Vet Clinic later aged him closer to two.  We decided to wait and see, to give him time to grow without stressing his bone structure. Research indicates that when a horse has been malnourished, their growth patterns are interrupted but they can catch back up with the proper care. He's certainly hasn't disappointed us.
