Shadarobah Horse Rescue was founded in 2008. Our name translates to "May The Future Be Better Than The Past" in Native American. Since our founding we have rescued over 600 horses and countless other animals.
During the Spring of 2023 we founded our "No Animal Left Behind Program" to further our efforts in non-equine activities. That same year we brought in over 100 feral cats, 6 dogs, 3 goats and a hand full of chickens in addition to our equine efforts.
Our volunteers are Absolutely Amazing! Nearly all of our volunteers and our board members are full time working adults and no-one is paid. We rough through all the challenges that neglect and abuse brings to our animals. We do this in all weather conditions and often with limited funding.
We have a passion to teach and share our experience with those who seek it. We have assisted with several hundred indirect animal placements using our network of fosters, adopters, and our social media community. We often share our advice and creative solutions with pet owners in need of help. We often participate in other community events and even host some of our own family friendly events.
Our mission:
Shadarobah’s mission is to save horses from slaughter, abuse and neglect; then place them in loving and nurturing homes.
Part of that mission includes educating people on the plight of horses and making it possible for all people to enjoy the great gift of knowing a horse!

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
