East Tennessee Miniature Horse and Donkey Rescue

We are a 501c3 rescue that is dedicated to helping miniature horses, donkeys and mules to help prevent them from going to auction. Our goal is to help people understand how to care for minis and know that we are here to help. Donations are used to feed, shelter, provide medical care, transport, farrier costs and site visits. We do not receive any grants so we rely on your help. Together we can do big things for these little equines.

Rescue FAQs

Our rescue specializes in rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming miniature horses, donkeys and mules in need. We primarily assist with owner surrenders and have assisted other rescues when they have large intakes of minis.
We are located in Loudon, TN which is less than an hour West of Knoxville TN.

Additional adoption info

Adoptions require references, a veterinary contact that will be caring for your new mini, and a site visit. You must be 18 years or older and must be adoption for yourself or immediate family. On our site visits we are looking for safe fencing, a simple shelter, and access to fresh water and limited pasture. Our adoption fee is 250 with a discount for multiple animals adopted and those with special needs. WE DO NOT ADOPT MARES TO HOMES WITH STALLIONS AND OUR CONTRACT IS A NO BREEDING CONTRACT
