Hooves and Paws Rescue of the Heartland

Great place. Had a great time interacting with the horses

I would rate this organization NEGATIVE stars if possible. Please be careful about spending your hard earned charity dollars with them. We had a boarder from American Legacy Stables that had adopted a horse through Hooves & Paws who wanted to move her horses because the situation with Dorothy Turley at American Legacy had become intolerable.

If you know "nothing" about equine this is the rescue for you. Leaders and volunteers lack health, nutrition, and handling knowledge. This rescue lacks in home checks, space, and appear to becoming a hoarding spot for equine. Vets and farriers Nebraska wide refrain from working with this rescue. Fostering, all expence's get dumped on you, best interest of the horses situation is not taken into consideration. Review of your applications consist of fb stocking. I know several horses were placed with no vet references checked and a home check consisted of a drive by. She will ask for photos of your "adopted" horse and post on her fb page and still collecting donations on an animal that they are not funding. She gladly will taking all credit for a horses well being and improvements not even kn

Gina and Billy donate blood,sweat, tears, and dollars out of their pocket. Gina is very particular about who can foster or adopt, but she wants to ensure the safety, health, and welfare of all the animals in her care.
