FOCUS Rescue & Rehabilitation not only shares our own philosophy on adoption requirements, they truly believe in their mission and are dedicated to their commitment of each and every foal.
Sometimes money and the want for something is simply not enough. We are grateful that Focus takes the time to ask questions to establish the intent of potential adopters. There is no rush to simply collect a fee and move the foals along right away.
We receive many messages that question our adoption requirements/protocols/process. Hopefully, we can lend some insight on how and why we do things differently than others might.
Every orphaned foal that comes into our care is more than just a rescue — it’s a life that deserves the very best chance at a healthy future. That’s why our adoption process is intentionally thoughtful and thorough.
Each baby is evaluated by a veterinarian upon intake to assess their overall health and immediate needs. We take the time to ensure every foal is stable, strong, and successfully drinking on their own before even considering them available for adoption.
We know it can be hard to wait, especially when these little ones capture hearts so quickly. But our priority will always be their well-being — not rushing them out the door. Proper care in those critical early days makes all the difference in their growth, development, and long-term success. Especially when considering long distance hauling to their forever homes.
Our goal isn’t just to place foals — it’s to give them the healthiest possible start and match them with adopters who are ready for the responsibility ahead.
Thank you for understanding, supporting, and helping us put these babies first. 💛
