Animal Guardians Horse Rescue, Inc.

We are a 501(c)3 public nonprofit organization equine sanctuary and welfare program. We offer community service programs in the summer, adoptions, and sanctuary placement. We are an Adoptions Partner with the Ventura, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and San Bernadino County departments of Animal Care / Control and Animal Services. We are a member of The Homes For Horses Coalition, the Humane Society of the United States Safe Stalls Network, the ASPCA Horse Action Team, and the HSUS Forever Foundation Training Program. We have Platinum Seal of Transparency on Candid.com/GuideStar.com. We are located in Simi Valley, CA, and operate a satellite rescue with all horses privately fostered and/or boarded. We do this because we believe in the sanctity and dignity of senior equines and equines with special needs; we value them and all they have to offer their human partners, whether or not they are rideable.

potential adopter views the horse on our website, submits an application, we screen vet, farrier, and 2 personal references, once approved then the adopter comes to meet the horse in person and if agrees to adopt, the adopter signs an adoption agreement contract and pays an adoption fee - we retain a 12 month right of first refusal and there is no trial period.
