Happy Hooves Farm & Rescue

We are a small Farm & Farm Animal Rescue in La Vernia, TX. Our mission is to save farm animals from a life of neglect & abuse or to help save those who cannot be properly cared for; to rehabilitate and re-home them to safe and loving homes to live out the rest of their days. We are BOTH a Farm and a Rescue!

Happy Hooves Farm & Rescue was formed at the end of 2018, and we took in our first rescues January 9, 2019. We believe in the essence of farming, and believe that all animals should be cared for, loved and provided for until the end of their lives. We strongly believe that NO animal should ever be mistreated or abandoned. Therefore, we gladly accept farm animals (and other small pets/animals) that people can no longer care for, for whatever reason. A lot of the time, it is due to a death, a sudden accident, or overwhelming life situations. We’ve also taken in kids’ 4-H projects! Sometimes, people take on farm animals not knowing fully what they are getting themselves into, only to realize that they cannot care for them after some time. (This happens a lot with “Easter Bunnies”, ducks and chickens!) On occasion someone will find a farm animal abandoned on their new property, or babies that have been rejected by their mother, or left for dead. We take in these animals, rehabilitate them & then adopt them out. We pass NO JUDGEMENT here! On occasion, we do accept animals in need of sanctuary - these “rescues” are NOT available for re-homing or adoption. They are accepted on the premise that they will live out the rest of their lives here on our farm, to be loved and cared for by us. However, we ONLY do this in the event that we know we are capable of properly caring for these animals long term, on our own.

We understand that sometimes, things happen in our lives that are unforeseen, and we also know that sometimes that “great gift” might not have been the best idea. We are happy to help whenever we can.

We do screen our prospective adoptive families. We want to ensure that each animal does not end up in the same circumstances from which it came. We do not make our adoption fees low in hopes of avoiding this scenario. Many times (as stated before) people "think" they want a farm animal as a pet, only to discover that either it is more costly than expected or that sometimes, farm animals are just that - a farm animal, not all animals can be domesticated. We work hard to ensure that adoptive families are educated and have knowledge of the type of animal they are attempting to adopt. We will decline an applicant if we feel that the person is not committed to the care of the animal, educated or unwilling to be educated on the type of animal, if the applicant doesn't have proper housing or fencing; etc. This is all to ensure the safety and well-being of the animals we adopt out.
