ASPCA Virtual Adoption Event: Adopt a Horse Month 2024

This May is the fourth annual Adopt a Horse Month, initiated by the ASPCA Right Horse Program. The month focuses on spreading awareness on equine adoption, and, of course, finding new homes for adoptable horses. In support of this, the ASPCA is hosting a virtual adoption event to help horses find homes.



See below for the horses available during the ASPCA Virtual Adoption Event of May 2024!
