Rough Start Animal Rescue, Inc.
This tax exempt horse rescue serves Spokane, Wash. and the surrounding areas. www.roughstartrescue.org for more details. We provide training, food, shelter, and vet care to horses that have been abandoned, owner surrendered or confiscated by law enforcement or animal control to place them in new homes. Please contact us to make an appointment or to see if we can help place your adoptable horses.
What kind of horses can we help at the horse rescue? Each horse is accepted on a case-by-case basis and all horses are evaluated for safety first before we can take them here. Most folks do not want to adopt some “wild” horses that they cannot catch or trim all four of their feet or worm them, etc. Horses that have had some previous experience at horse shows or know how to ride or drive or both will be considered. Most folks do not want to adopt horses they can’t use in some way so if your horse is mean, wild or has issues, they are not adoptable for us to place in a new home.
We do not take in horses that are under age 4 or so old they can no longer be ridden or driven. We are not looking for pasture pets, but horses folks can take on trail rides or play with them, once we update their horse training of course. Again we do not take in horses that are very old or only have a year or two left. You will need to put them down yourself. We do not want to take in too many unadoptable horses here which is why we evaluate them first. Thanks. If you need help putting down your horses we are not the ones to contact for that service.
Why is the rescue under new management and a new location? The founders of the horse rescue are moving to Texas so to keep it open a longtime volunteer has stepped up to keep it running. Rough Start Animal Rescue, Inc. is formerly Rough Start Horse Rescue. The new location is near Seven Mile or north Spokane and the new director is MD Mossburg or a longtime volunteer. MD Mossburg wanted to keep this rescue going even after the Freeman family was moving to Texas.
