Neglected Horses Available for Adoption

In March 2008, DCHS took in several horses from a neglect case.  These horses came to us in extremely poor medical condition and their food, medical care, and daily upkeep has cost DCHS thousands of dollars.  DCHS is calling out to the community to help these horses - either by adopting or making a financial donation to help continue care for these horses and alleviate the financial strain on the shelter.  For more information, read the press release here.
