Of course, animal abuse doesn't just apply to household pets, but larger animals including goats, donkeys, and horses, just to name a few.

In Colorado, when a horse is taken away from an owner, it will typically end up at a wonderful facility that focuses on rehabilitation and adoption known as the Colorado Horse Rescue.

What is the Colorado Horse Rescue?

Located at 10386 N. 65th Street in Longmont, Colorado Horse Rescue not only takes in abused or neglected horses, but also horses left at livestock auctions as well as those that are ready to retire from a dude ranch.

Once they arrive, the horses are each given a medical evaluation to determine the type and amount of care they need, as well as fresh hay and water.

Each employee at Colorado Horse Rescue is a specially-trained equine expert who uses their skills to help each horse fully heal not just physically, but emotionally as well.

In addition, once horses that are determined to be in good enough shape are rehabilitated, they become available for adoption.
