My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

And here's HOPE! Hope is looking for her forever home as a pasture pet/companion. She is a very sweet mare in her late teens but can be reserved at times. She does enjoy grooming and taking walks. Apparently Hope may have been used as a breeding mare as she can be touchy with her back legs. HOPE was taken in an Ag investigation impoundment. She was kept in a very small pen, mud up to her knees in freezing weather. Hope had been adopted previously but came back to SHARE due to life changes with her adopter. Hope is NOT RIDEABLE - she has had training off and on for 3 years without success. She halters easily, doesn't bite, picks up all four feet for the farrier with some encouragement. Hope is a very easy keeper too!

Hope's adoption fee is $800.

IF you think you'd like to have this sweet mare to grace your pasture, please visit our website - www.s-h-a-r-e.net/adoption/ - to view our adoption policies and fill out an adoption application.

Adopters must live within a 3-hour driving distance from Champaign, Illinois.

Adoption Requirements

1. You must live in Illinois or close neighboring state.
2. Prefer that you own the property where the horse will be kept; however we frequently adopt horses out to people who board.
3. Must provide a letter of recommendation from your veterinarian and one from your farrier if you are now a horse owner. If you do not have a farrier, a letter from another person will suffice.
4. You must visit the horse to see if you are a match with the particular horse you wish to adopt.
5. We will visit your facility to see the facility and your animals.
6. If you continue with the adoption, you will be required to pay an adoption fee which is set by the board of directors for each animal. We will continue to inspect the animal for two years.
7. If at any time the animal is not being properly cared for SHARE has the right to seize the animal.
8. You are NEVER allowed to sell the animal to slaughter. We ALWAYS have first right of refusal if you decide not to keep the animal.
9. You must keep the animal for at least two years or it reverts to SHARE.

Adoption Fees:

Adoption Fees vary from animal to animal depending on the skill sets of each individual horse, starting at about $450.00 dollars. Each individual animal will have the adoption fee posted on it's profile, or view our website!

About Us

Our mission is to maintain the integrity, well-being, and health of hooved animals through education first.

SHARE is a nonprofit humane society established in 2005 in the Champaign area. We have investigators that cover a large portion of Illinois.

At SHARE, our goal is to help equines trapped in situations of abuse and starvation. It is also our wish as well to educate horse owners on how to properly care for their horses.

The humane society offers to help educate owners on the proper daily care and maintenance; vetting and hoof care as well as nutrition and emergencies. The society also rescues severely neglected horses and provides rehabilitation services and placement through adoption.

This is not an easy task; many volunteers are needed in order to provide this care and support. There are many people who are not aware of hooved animals that are abused and neglected. SHARE would like to inform people about this
