Tinkerbelle's Story...
**Please click on our organization name "Circle P Sanctuary and Ranch" for more information on adoption policies and fees** ____Tink History____ Tinkerbelle or Tink was surrendered to us in December of 2011. She was seen by The Ohio State equine veterinary team and has been doing great. We have been told that Tink was once a 4-H horse and is great with children. Tink was kept in foster care for a few months before coming over to our equine center. ___Tink Current_____ Tink is very respectful and well mannered, but can get anxious while working with people. She does not stand well in the cross ties, but will stand quietly on her own when being brushed and tacked up in a stall. She gets along well with other horses. Although she is a bit nervous at times, she is quickly re-gaining her trust of people through ground work. She has some anxiety about allowing the bit into her mouth, but accepts the bitless bridle and saddle well and has clearly been ridden before. She is careful and calm at the walk and trot with children on her back. However, she still seems a bit nervous and our young rider volunteer has had some trouble getting her to stay working on the rail rather than turning in and stopping. The more we ride her, the more she is settling into under saddle work. She has proven to be a well mannered riding pony. ___Tink Future___ Tink continues with ground work as well as work under saddle. Tink is a spunky, yet respectful pony that would make a great children's horse with time and continued training. She would do best with an intermediate type rider who would be able to ride Tink with calmness and confidence, as a rider who does much rein pulling and kicking would revert Tink back to her nervousness that she displayed when first working with her. Tink would also make a wonderful lead line or lunge line pony.

About Our Rescue Group...
When the Circle P Sanctuary, Inc. applied for Recognition of Exemption under Section 501©(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, we needed to state our Mission. We claimed three as follows:
1. Provide safe, clean and comfortable temporary to permanent shelter for unwanted, lost, abandoned, stray or abused animals/horses, and to place animals/horses for adoption with caring individuals and families;
2 Educate the community on the importance of spaying/neutering all animals as it relates to overpopulation and animal health, and on other issues relating to the humane treatment of animals; and
3. Work with humane societies and other animal shelters toward furthering the common goal of humane treatment of all animals.
The Circle P Sanctuary, Inc. has created an environment conducive to serving large animals, concentrating predominately on horses. We have a total of 96 acres that is utilized for the benefit of the animal residents living at the Sanctuary.

Our Adoption Process...
CIRCLE P SANCTUARY, INC.
ADOPTION APPLICATION
The Circle P Sanctuary, Inc.(CPS) takes the responsibility of placing horses into new homes very seriously. It is not a process we will rush through as we believe this is to be a lifelong decision for the animal involved. The CPS will work closely with prospective adopters to ensure that both the adopter and the horse/animal being adopted is well suited to each other. It is important to know that the CPS does not allow horses being adopted to be bred, resold or given away.
The housing facility must be approved through the CPS. The horse must not be relocated without the knowledge and approval of the CPS. This is not intended to be a difficult procedure, but a thorough one that is essential to the well being of the horse.
If for any reason the horse can no longer remain with the adopter, the CPS requires the horse be returned to the CPS. If there is a potential new adopter interested (recommended by the original adopter), the CPS will strive to make that arrangement possible through following our adoption process. The CPS may waive any new adoption fee when the new adopters are approved.
Finally, because horses are herd animals and require companionship, the CPS requires adopted horses live with at least one other horse.
OVERVIEW OF THE CIRCLE P SANCTUARY, INC. ADOPTION PROCESS
1. Return to the Circle P Sanctuary, Inc. (CPS) completed and signed adoption application, including this cover letter and photos. Applicant must be at least 25 years old who will be entering a legally binding contract upon completion of the adoption process. A $10.00 processing fee is due with the completed application.
2. The CPS will review the application and determine if the Sanctuary has a potential horse that fits the adopters needs. If the CPS has a potential match, or adopter would like to see a specific horse available, the adopter must schedule an appointment with one of our trainers to work with the horse. The intention of this appointment is to ensure the safety of both the potential adopter and the horse.
3. If the potential adopter is interested in the horse they worked with, and the CPS agrees that they are capable of working safely together, additional appointments will be scheduled. The CPS requires no less than 3 working sessions between the prospective adopter and horse being adopted. The CPS may require additional sessions, prior to moving forward with the adoption process. The CPS will contact the references listed on the application at this time.
4. Once the working sessions are completed, and a suitable match has been made, the CPS will arrange to visit the potential new home. It is important to the CPS that the property where the horse will live is staffed with a person that has a good understanding in the general care, management and feeding of the specific horse/animal being adopted. Fencing, buildings and pastures must be safe, clean and free of debris. We prefer horses have full access to a field with a run-in shed, however an enclosed area must be available in case of illness or injury.
5. Upon completion of the housing inspection and reference check, the CPS will evaluate all information provided and make a decision. The CPS may approve or disapprove adoptions. The CPS will address any concerns that may be easily corrected. However, the CPS reserves the right to deny adoption for any reason, in its sole discretion, and is not obligated to state any reason.

AFTER APPROVAL OF ADOPTION
1. An Adoption Contract will be completed with terms and conditions as determined by the CPS.
2. A donation of $500.00 will be made to the CPS. This donation will be utilized by the CPS to rescue, rehabilitate and care for unwanted horses/animals. This is a non-refundable donation. The Circle P Sanctuary, Inc. is a Non-Profit Organization that has been determined to be exempt from Federal income tax under section 501© (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions made to the Circle P Sanctuary, Inc. may be tax deductible under section 170 of the Code. Please consult your tax advisor for further information.
3. The CPS reserves the right to transport the adopted horse/animal to it's new facility for a nominal fee of $.50/mile roundtrip.
4. The CPS reserves the right to make either scheduled or unscheduled visits to follow-up on the adopted horse and its facility at any time. The adopter is required to respond to all mandatory update communications.

Why Adoption is a Great Option

Tinkerbelle, a Marengo Pony - Other/Pony - of America was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pony - Other/Pony - of America for sale in Marengo, or seeking a Pony - Other/Pony - of America from a breeder in Marengo.

  1. Rescues and shelter volunteers in Marengo already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
  2. On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Marengo breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
  3. You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Pony - Other/Pony - of America breeders who help with Pony - Other/Pony - of America rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Marengo paves the way for another one to be saved.
