Rescue FAQs

We are Jim and Karen Owens, retired from Ohio and Florida as you will see on the web site. We started STAR primarily for horses because there was no place for them to go in Haywood Co. if animal control did actually seize, which they seldom do. We work closely with AC and provide education, hay, feed to owners who simply don't know about the horse they have. OR we provide a safe haven for the abused, starved and neglected horse an owner no longer cares for. We prefer to have the owner relinquish to STAR and sometimes 'buy' a horse out of bondage.
We serve all of Haywood County, North Carolina being easily located at exit #20 off of I40 west of Asheville, NC. STAR Ranch is an all volunteer animal rescue looking for more volunteers and good homes for dogs, cats and horses.

Additional adoption info

Our web site shows many of the horses that are available for adoption. We do not ride or board at STAR, only rehabilitate. Many become ridable, some are companion horses only. Fees vary per horse.
Dogs have a $100 adoption fee with home visit required before adopting.
Cats have a $50 adoption fee and may be indoor/outdoor cats as they have learned to be here at the ranch. MANY prefer to stay indoors, so we match the cat with the right situation. We often have kitties.
All cats and dogs MUST be altered when they are old enough and receive their rabies vacination - which is included in the adoption fee for each.
