Saving equines who reside

NORTH CAROLINA

How can YOU become a Foster Home for a horse in need?

There are so many horses in North Carolina that are in need of Foster Homes. These horses, in many cases, have been injured, abused or neglected. If you have a love for these beautiful animals and want to help, here’s how you can do it.
You will be asked to fill out an “Equine Interest Application” to inform the organization of your equine preferences. This form will also tell us if you are able to foster a horse, adopt a horse, or both.
You will also be asked to fill out an “Applicant Information” form. This will give HERO an idea of who you are and what experience you have with horses.
In order to provide these horses with the best foster home possible, there are guidelines that need to be followed in the interest of the horse’s health and well being. . . .

HERO Foster Guidelines
(This represents only a portion of the written Foster Guidelines)
The foster home will be given contact information for a personal HERO representative to contact with questions and/or emergencies.
The foster home will be visited by a HERO representative to ensure that their facility complies with HERO’s policies.
If your facility is approved as a foster facility you will be able to take tax deductions, to the extent of the law, for the care you provide to your equine.
Foster homes must be available to meet with potential adopters.

“Essie” before and after
rehabilitation
