ASPCA Virtual Adoption Event – May 24, 2023

This May is the third 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 virtual adoption events throughout May.
