Yavapai Humane Society Equine Adoption Center New Mascot


Now in its sixth year, the ASPCA’s annual Help a Horse initiative has been a meaningful way for equine rescues, shelters and sanctuaries to increase awareness for their lifesaving work to help at-risk horses by competing to win valu- able grant funding and additional resources. This year, Zoetis US LLC generously donated its new vaccine, CORE EQ Innovator™, for every equine adopted during the two-month challenge period, and Conair® provided more than $300,000 in grooming supplies to be included in prize packages.


Yavapai Humane Society’s Equine Program is an adoption-focused program for horses in need of rehabilitation. Every horse receives health care and training prior to being made available for adoption. The Equine Program is unique in that it provides life-saving services for horses with behavioral needs before matching them to their for- ever home. Our knowledgeable, professional staff ethically re-train horses using Equitation Science principles.

Y


avapai Humane Society Equine Center, in Chino Valley, had quite an exciting August!


First of all, we are proud


to announce that we have a new baby!! Neo, a precious donkey, came into the world early Saturday morning the 3rd of August! Neo’s Momma, Bogo was adopted through the BLM event that was held here in April. Shortly after Bogo’s arrival, we realized she was pregnant (hence the


name “Bogo” ~ Buy One, Get One)! Brandi Baker, our Equine Health & Handling Specialist, told me that Neo is turning into quite the char- acter and is growing like a weed! He’s starting his halter training, got his front teeth in and is starting to eat hay. Brandi said it’s especially cute when she lets him out of his pen to go outside and play because he kicks his hooves up in the air, almost like he’s jumping for joy! He’s friendly and loves everyone and will eventually become a mascot for the Equine Center, along with our mini horse, Minnie. It’s so exciting!


The other exciting news is that the Yavapai Humane Equine Center won the ASPCA Help a Horse Home Challenge GRAND PRIZE, and was awarded $35,000. This nationwide competition for equine rescues, shelters and sanctuaries is designed to increase adoptions of equines around the country. Winners were scored based on their increase in adoptions from last year, along with the quality of their promotional content and campaigns on social media. More than 170 groups across the country participated, with 12 groups winning 13 prizes for their ef- forts during the contest, which ran from April 26th to June 30th.


Dr. Emily Weiss, vice president of ASPCA Equine Welfare, stated “The ASPCA is committed to supporting the many groups nationwide work- ing tirelessly to find safe, loving homes for the horses in their care, and the ASPCA Help a Horse Home Challenge provides an effective way for these groups to reach potential equine adopters. We are in awe of the innovative and thoughtful ways this year’s contestants found more homes for horses and we are pleased to award this prize to Yavapai Hu- mane Society for their outstanding achievements during the contest, which contributed to more than 1,500 horses being adopted.”
