My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Johnny Cash, a palomino POA, came to SHARE as a young foal as a result of a previous owner didn't want a horse who was born with congenital cataracts. SHARE invited Johnny Cash in with open arms. He was an active young colt and the cataracts didn't stop him from having fun. A very generous supporter of SHARE offered to pay for the operation to fix his cataracts! In December 2022 Johhny Cash came home from Purdue University after his operation to fix his cataracts. He now has normal sight and boy, does he like to romp in the pastures! He was born in the summer of '22 and has become a lovely "almost" yearling. He leads and enters trailers but we are working on more, like picking up all feet for the farrier. Johnny Cash has registration papers, is eligible for futurity.

Johnny Cash is available for adoption. His adoption fee is $2,800.

4. You must visit the horse to see if you are a match with the particular horse you wish to adopt.
5. We will visit your facility to see the facility and your animals.
6. If you continue with the adoption, you will be required to pay an adoption fee which is set by the board of directors for each animal. We will continue to inspect the animal for two years.

About Us

Our mission is to maintain the integrity, well-being, and health of hooved animals through education first.

SHARE is a nonprofit humane society established in 2005 in the Champaign area. We have investigators that cover a large portion of Illinois.

At SHARE, our goal is to help equines trapped in situations of abuse and starvation. It is also our wish as well to educate horse owners on how to properly care for their horses.

The humane society offers to help educate owners on the proper daily care and maintenance; vetting and hoof care as well as nutrition and emergencies. The society also rescues severely neglected horses and provides rehabilitation services and placement through adoption.

This is not an easy task; many volunteers are needed in order to provide this care and support. There are many people who are not aware of hooved animals that are abused and neglected. SHARE would like to inform people about this
