The ideal candidate will possess prior/extensive horse experience and understand that the care of all the rescued animals takes place outdoors on a daily basis. Happy Trails Animal Care Givers provide daily care to the animals whether there’s a wind chill of ten below or it’s 95 degrees and hot and humid – we’re very honest about this.

Happy Trails is called to Assist Humane Officers in a Mass Horse Rescue

Pictures from the news-breaking online article at Cleveland.com show the conditions of the property where 14 horses were seized February 20th by the Summit Count humane officer.  Happy Trails has been able to assist by transporting the 14 horses to foster homes.  Check back for links to the news stories and know that the best way you can help is to donate toward the cost of this rescue and to pray for healing for these innocent animals.  Donations can be made by clicking the top button to donate or by mailing checks to Happy Trails at 5623 New Milford Rd Ravenna, OH 44266 and also to the Greater Akron Humane Society at 7996 Darrow Rd, Twinsburg, OH 44087.  All donations will go toward the vetting and foster care of these horses.

Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase. ~Martin Luther King Jr.

Happy Trails has indeed taken that first step.  We are hoping that you will now walk together with us up that staircase, networking, reaching out to others and asking for their support to help Happy Trails acquire this property which will open doors, provide more educational programs, and allow us to serve you and the rescued animals better than ever….  Read the full details in our Land Acquisition Campaign.

Two of our California Gals Get Special Handling

Remember the amazing efforts of Animal Place and rescue organizations across the country to save thousands of hens in California?  Two of those wonderful ladies recently underwent procedures to correct an issue with their perfect little feet.  A key member of the team here at Happy Trails went above and beyond (typical of all of our supporters) to ensure these hens received the intricate care they needed.  Check out this awesome video update and read the full story here.

If you are interested in adopting one or both of these special hens, email ashleyk@happytrailsfarm.org
