May is Adopt a Horse Month!

MVHR is participating in the sixth annual ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) Adopt a Horse Month, a nationwide adoption event taking place throughout the month of May to help more equines find loving homes. MVHR along with equine adoption and rescue groups across the country have joined the campaign to promote the adoptable horses, mules and donkeys in their care and engage with their communities to raise awareness about equine adoption.

MVHR works tirelessly to highlight the amazing charges in our care looking for their next chapter in life, and we will highlight our companion horses this month to give them the extra spotlight!

Motivated by the results of ASPCA research suggesting there could be approximately 2.3 million adults in the U.S. with both the resources and desire to adopt a horse in need, Adopt a Horse Month is focused on increasing the number of equines adopted across the country.

“The ASPCA is committed to supporting the many groups nationwide, including [ORG NAME], working tirelessly to find safe, loving homes for the equines in their care, and Adopt a Horse Month provides an impactful way for these groups to reach potential adopters,” said Christie Schulte Kappert, Vice President of ASPCA Equine Welfare. “We are in awe of the innovative and thoughtful ways this year’s participants are finding more homes for horses and raising awareness about equine adoption within their community.”
