A Forever Home For Animals In Need
The mission of The Phoenyx Farm & Sanctuary is to rescue unwanted or neglected equine and provide them with a safe and secure refuge. We provide every animal that comes to us with proper medical care, an individualized nutrition plan, and daily handling.
Our goals are to give our residents a second chance at a healthy and productive life, provide hospice care when necessary, and educate our community about proper animal care through our outreach and educational programs. For many of our animals, The Phoenyx Farm & Sanctuary becomes their forever home.
Our Commitment
With every rescue we make, a full commitment is made to finding that animal their forever home, whether that be here with us or with a new loving family. Some animals who are terminally ill are provided hospice care and remain with us for the rest of their days. Others, such as Nova and Ryan, make full recoveries and are adopted into loving homes.
During their time at our sanctuary, all horses are given appropriate shelter, individualized nutrition plans, veterinary and dental care, and the daily attention they deserve. They are provided ample turnout based on their specific needs, and forage is never restricted unless required for a medical condition. Horses receive regular exercise consistent with their health status, age, and abilities.
Our organization continually provides activities and enrichment opportunities to help animals heal, stay active, and rediscover confidence. We believe horses do their best when they are given the opportunity to do what they love.
The mental well-being of our animals is another strong focus of ours. We work to address fears, anxieties, and behavioral challenges while helping every resident become sound both physically and mentally.
Medical Retirement Program
Every animal deserves the opportunity to ride off into the sunset. Animals enter our Medical Retirement Program when it is determined they are no longer fit to perform a job, be ridden, or participate in regular work activities.
These animals, once stabilized and comfortable, often make wonderful companion horses. They enjoy peaceful lives with excellent care, comfort, and the companionship they deserve.
Hospice Care Program
In the unfortunate event that an animal is determined to have a reduced lifespan, they enter our Hospice Care Program. The goal of this program is to provide the same exceptional care found in our Medical Retirement Program, with an added focus on comfort and pain management.
When the time comes to make difficult decisions, we consult closely with our staff, caregivers, and veterinary team to ensure that every choice is made with the animal’s best interests in mind.
Rescue & Surrender Services
For many animals, rescue is their last chance at life. One of our goals is to never turn away an animal in need because of limited space or funding. Rescue and rehabilitation can be difficult, time-consuming, and expensive, but it is a labor of love that we proudly undertake.
We also encourage owners who can no longer care for their animals to consider surrendering them as early as possible. Early surrender often prevents further health decline and significantly improves an animal’s chances of successful rehabilitation and placement.
A surrendered animal is typically healthier and requires fewer resources to rehabilitate. Whether an animal remains with us or is adopted into a loving family, our goal is always to help them find their forever home.
Animals surrendered early in the process often have the greatest opportunities available to them, making it easier to find suitable placements and successful long-term outcomes.
Adoption Opportunities
When animals are physically and emotionally ready, we work diligently to place them in loving homes where they can continue to thrive.
