The first step in adopting an animal from us is to fill out a pre-adoption application and come for a tour of the Farm. General Farm tours are done every Sunday at 2:30pm. We will not adopt you a horse sight unseen. We do our best to assure a good match for both you and the horse/animal. So we ask that you first sponsor (sponsorship to adopt generally is not available for Premarins) or foster to adopt a horse first if you have other horses at home. We request that you come and spend time volunteering/working with an animal prior to adopting them. Most premarins are pre-adopted in order to be able to save them from unfortunate circumstances, as we do not have the funds to save a trailer load. If you are an experienced horse person, and would like to take the horse home for a trial period, we offer a Foster Program. We may also want to make a site visit prior to your adopting. Co-ownership is only done with special horses staying at the farm indefinitely.

There is a general office fee of $200 to adopt a horse that has been surrendered to the Farm. Along with this fee, a pre-determined, tax-deductible donation amount will be required which is computed by the amount we have invested into the animal and its abilities.

Total adoption fees vary greatly depending on the animals needs, cost of care, capabilities, breed, all to be determined by individual animals and circumstances. Total adoption fees for horses may be from $500 to $2500 which includes the $200 administration fee. Average horse adoption is $900.

Live and Let Live Farm adoptions are done at the discretion of the Executive Director and/or the Board of Directors, with the final deciding factor being that the animal has "clicked" with the humans that want to adopt him or her. Adoptions are “as is” situations and there may be health and/or behavioral issues that Live and Let Live Farm is not aware of with the animals. Adoption fees are non-refundable. If an adoption does not work out or circumstances change that owners can no longer keep the adopted animal, the animal can be surrendered and returned to Live and Let Live Farm.

Horses need to be preadopted or sponsored to rescue them as it costs thousands of dollars to fill a trailer and we are competing with the slaughter prices. Transportation for a tractor trailer load alone costs over $7000, and with the related costs of the transportation, feed and water stop, vet health check, coggins, boarder fees, etc. The average cost range is about $440 to $604 to get them safely to Live and Let Live Farm is determined by size/age of the horses...These horses need your help.
