These horses were rehabilitated by the CHANGE Program and are now in carefully selected, permanent homes.

There are MANY more cases which can be cited to show the CHANGE Program’s active support and involvement in Sonoma County Animal Control cases. Many of the cases have positive outcomes, in which the horse’s needs are adequately addressed and the horses are placed in permanent homes.

CHANGE provided all medications and supplies, supplemental feed, veterinary service and all the TLC she needed along her road to recovery. Congratulations to Cherie on her adoption of Mindy!
