Success Stories From SHARE

Every day, there are probably hundreds of thousands of animals in need of rescue. Some, unfortunately, cannot be saved in time, or are discovered and rescued too late.

Thankfully, that isn't the way that it has to be for every abused or neglected animal.

SHARE - and organizations like them - come to the rescue of these creatures and rehabilitate them. Then, animals can be offered to loving homes.

Below are the success stories of SHARE - creatures who found a wonderful home with a caring new family.

Snapper and Ellie Mae

Snapper was relinquished to the Dept. of Agriculture and later relinquished to Share. He was a very thin Thorobred with Rain Rot and very little hair. Snapper gained weight rapidly and the rain rot was cured. He gradually grew his hair back. Snapper has a wonderful personality and was adopted to a great home in Western Illinois to a family with two small children. He is now happily sharing his home with several other horses and ponies. Later, Snapper was unfortunately returned to S.H.A.R.E, however he was so sweet and well behaved that he was quickly adopted out to a new home where he gives rides to grandchildren! Much to Snapper's delight, one of S.H.A.R.E more long term residents, Ellie Mae, was also adopted along with him! They are doing super well in their new home and are happy to have each other's companionship.

Our First Adoptee (H.P.) Harry Potter and Dillon

Our first adoptee is a pony named H.P. or Harry Potter. His new and permanent owner is Dillon. Dillon and Harry Potter go trail riding with Dillon’s mother. H.P. Follow Dillon along the lane as Dillon comes home from school. H.P. has become very bonded to Dillon in a short time. H.P. is scheduled to begin training to pull a cart in the near future. Dillon’s mother is a former horse trainer and feels this will be no problem for H.P.

Snickers

Snicker is a paint pony donated because the owner could no longer keep him. He has been adopted by a couple who were looking for a pony to train to pull a cart and to keep their Arabian Gelding company. Snickers now has his own 12x12 stall and turn out and lots and lots of love. He lives in a wooded area with the Arabian Gelding and a couple who just love him.

Shimar

Shimar was rescued from an overpopulated breeder out of state. She was so thin that her growth was stunted. Her original rescuer realized that the care was too much for her. Shimar had multiple cuts and scrapes from being with the other horses she owned. After she realized it was too much for her, she contacted us wanting to know if we could take her. We cared for her and treated her wounds. She was like a wild horse and after care and work, she has been “gentled”. She has been adopted by a 12 year old girl and is now being started under saddle. Hurray for Shimar!

Little Joe and Peso

When Joe was rescued from starvation, he was so weak that he had to be physically lifted into the trailer. After spending time at S.H.A.R.E, Joe had grown to be sleek, healthy and happy and was recently adopted and started under saddle. His new owner is thrilled and happily reports that Joe has been super well behaved with his new training and has been very sweet. Peso was born at S.H.A.R.E. from one of the mares rescued from a farm where over 70 horses were being kept without food and water. Lucky for Peso, he found a new home at the same location as Joe! He delights his owner with his playful behavior, stealing brushes and getting into mischief!
