It is the goal of W.H.I.N.N.Y. Horse Rescue to
attempt to place each horse in the home best suited to the needs
of the individual horse. For travel reasons, W.H.I.N.N.Y does not
adopt its horses outside the State of Ohio. W.H.I.N.N.Y. retains
ownership of its horses at all times. At adoption
W.H.I.N.N.Y. transfers possession only. Therefore, horses
adopted from W.H.I.N.N.Y. can never be used for breeding, resold,
traded, tranferred or given away. The horse can never be
relocated from the original approved facility without the
permission of W.H.I.N.N.Y. In the event the placement does
not work out, for any reason, W.H.I.N.N.Y. requires that the
horse be returned to W.H.I.N.N.Y.
Before any horse can be adopted from
W.H.I.N.N.Y., the following procedures must be followed:
1. The adoption questionnaire
(printable .pdf format) must be completed, signed and initialed,
along with this cover letter (printable .pdf
format) and returned to W.H.I.N.N.Y.
2. Upon review and approval of the adoption questionnaire by an
official of W.H.I.N.N.Y. the prospective adopter will be
contacted by W.H.I.N.N.Y. to schedule an appointment for a formal
interview and a tour of W.H.I.N.N.Y. facilities.
3. If the personal interview is satisfactory
and if W.H.I.N.N.Y. has a potential horse at that time
W.H.I.N.N.Y. will schedule an appointment to check out the
adopter's facility. In addition, W.H.I.N.N.Y. will also
conduct interviews of the references provided by the potential
adopter on the adoption questionnaire.
4. Upon completion of the above, W.H.I.N.N.Y.
will schedule working sessions with the potential horse and the
adopters to determine if it is a suitable match.
5. Upon completion of the sessions it will be
determined whether or not the potential horse and adopter are
compatible. W.H.I.N.N.Y. may require at any time additional
sessions, that may prove adoption and/or deny adoption.
In its sole discretion, W.H.I.N.N.Y. reserves
the right to deny adoption, for any reason and is not obligated
to state any reason.
When all requirements are met and
preliminary adoption procedures have been satisfied, then
W.H.I.N.N.Y. will require the following:
1. Each adopter will be required to attend and
complete a Horse Management Class scheduled for them at the
W.H.I.N.N.Y. facility. This class will be provided free of charge
to the adopter(s) only.
2. Upon satisfactory completion of the above, a
permanent adoption contract must be signed and
initialed.
3. At the completions of the above, the adopter
will be required to pay in full a non-refundable adoption
fee set by W.H.I.N.N.Y. in its sole discretion.
