Rehoming, Adoption & Foster Care
Helping suitable horses and donkeys move forward into carefully assessed homes while keeping welfare at the centre of every placement.
Rehoming designed around the animal.
Highveld Horse Care Unit provides a rehoming pathway for equines that need a new future, whether they have come through welfare intervention or can no longer remain with their previous owner.
Potential homes are assessed against the Unit's welfare requirements. Adopted equines remain subject to monitoring, and the Unit's existing policy provides for an animal to return if required standards are not maintained.
That structure matters because successful rehoming is not simply about moving an animal. It is about making a considered match, protecting long-term welfare and giving both equine and adopter the best possible chance of a sustainable placement.
