Our Rehoming Policies

Rehoming:
Our organization has the following re-homing (adoption/purchase) policies and procedures in place:
    All potential adopters/purchasers complete a written contract which constitutes the agreement between our organization and the new owner
    Our organization will only re-home an equine to a location where another equine resides
    Potential adopters/purchasers must visit our organization and be observed with the equine on site
    The distance of a potential adopter/purchaser's home from our facility is a consideration for when re-homing an equine
    The agreement reflects that any individual or organization in possession of the equine as of the date of the agreement and any time thereafter is bound to not sell the equine at auction for slaughter or allow the equine to be sold, transferred, released, or otherwise placed into possession of any person or organization that will cause or allow the equine to be sold at auction for slaughter.
    The agreement states that should the adopter decide to re-home the equine, our organization must grant approval of any individual or organization intending to take possession of the equine for any reason prior to the equine being placed into the possession of such individual or organization, including being provided written notification of the name, address, and telephone number of any individual or organization intending to take possession of the equine for any reason.
    The agreement states that re-homed equines cannot be bred
    The agreement states that if there is any breach of contract the equine must be returned to our organization

Our Mission/How we are involved with horses:
The South Florida SPCA mission is to rescue and rehabilitate horses and other livestock in Miami-Dade County and safely rehome them across the country. Since 1992, the SFSPCA has been the last line of defense for abused and abandoned horses and livestock in Miami-Dade County, Florida. We are the only thing standing between them and starvation, death, and even slaughter. SFSPCA works in cooperation with Miami-Dade Animal Services Department & Miami-Dade Agricultural Police Unit to respond 24/7 to investigate cruelty and abandonment cases, and to seize and care for those victims at our Homestead facility. SFSPCA is the only organization qualified to rescue, rehabilitate, retrain and re-home horses in Miami-Dade County. The organization educates the public and promotes the humane treatment of equines through its outreach and volunteer programs, website and social media.
