We are so sorry that you have had to come to this page of our website. But we do understand wanting the best for your equine.

The purpose of Roanoke Valley Horse Rescue, Inc. is to promote the prevention of equine abuse and help owners when we can.

Here are a few things you should know before continuing.

RVHR provides shelter, food, daily care, medical treatment, rehabilitation, and placement services for horses in need because they have been abandoned, neglected and/or are in need of a new home.

RVHR shall obtain legal ownership of donated horses accepted into our guardianship, with the goal of placing these horses into caring and suitable new homes.

RVHR's first priority is to serve as a shelter and provide care for legally impounded horses when legal action is being taken by the State Veterinarian, local and other authorities because of maltreatment by the horses owner.

An owner who wishes to relinquish their ownership to our rescue may do so knowing that we will follow that equine for the rest of its life.

Owners wishing to relinquish their horse to the RVHR Facility will be required to pay a $500.00 intake fee. This fee will help us defer costs while looking for a new home for your horse.

Please note that filling out this information does not guarantee placement of your horse to the facility. The information will be reviewed and you will be contacted by a RVHR representative according to available space to accept another horse into our program.

“At the end of his life he should be retired, adopted, or humanely euthanized if no better solution can be found. Anything else makes a mockery of the words which for centuries have been used to describe our game -- the Sport of Kings.”
