Heart of Phoenix Adoptions are a long term lease agreement that we know benefits the adopters and the horses. The HOP ADOPTION AGREEMENT is a fantastic mutual agreement between an adopter and the rescue that assures the adoptive horse, while remaining a Heart of Phoenix Horse, will have protection and a high standard of care throughout his life. This carefully constructed agreement also assures if the adopter needs to return the horse to Heart of Phoenix at any point, for any reason at all, she/he can be certain the horse has a safe place. We freeze brand and mircochip each adopted horse. Additionally, we refund a very fair portion of your adoption fee should a Healthy HOP horse need to be returned from an adoption lease agreement.Prior to visiting a horse you are interested in, we do require an application be submitted and approved.We love having an adopter base that wants to be part of a solution to the neglect problems horses are experiencing here. Because the adoptive HOP horses are placed UTD on all vetting, dental work, farrier care and retrained with honest assessments and topped off with 24/7/365 support for the life of that adoption, we know caring, astute horsemen and women will quickly see how valuable Adoption verses a purchase proves to be when you’re ready to seek out an equine partner. Adoptable HOP horses adopt with current on farrier trims, parasite control, coggins, full vaccination, blood panel, dental float, microchipped and freeze branded.We have placed over 200 horses, and we hear time and time again from adopters how thankful they are they adopted! |
