Be sure to review our adoption contract before filling out an online application.
NEER North will not adopt to homes without another equine on site. NEER North does not adopt equines to homes outside of the New England area. NEER equines are adopted under contract and may not be bred, raced or resold. Prospective adopters must submit an application to be considered. There is a $15 adoption application processing fee. You must be 18 years of age or older to adopt one of our equines.
Each equine will have an Adoption Fee clearly stated on their bio commensurate to training and rehabilitation. By the time our horses and donkeys are ready for adoption, NEER rescues have satisfied a vet checklist that includes microchipping, vaccinations, Coggins, hoof health care, and dental care. In addition, many of our equines have emergency or extensive ongoing care to get them in the best possible health for their forever homes.
After we receive your application, you will be contacted by our Adoption Manager by email to discuss next steps.

We are always looking for foster homes for our “special needs” equines as well as professional training facilities to foster horses who would have a better chance at a forever home with a little training. This gives us the room to take in and rehabilitate needier horses who are at risk.
Fostering is a great way to help out if you can’t volunteer at our farm but want to contribute to the well being of an equine who deserves your individual attention and love. Perhaps you or someone you know might even fall in love and decide to adopt! Our horses that have been fostered enjoy building new relationships and bonding with the people who care for them.
