The horses and other animals who come through the MHARF program come to us in a variety of ways: humane cases through law enforcement, at the request of social service agencies, at the request of owners who can no longer keep them for various reasons, at the request of other organizations, and at the request of law enforcement agencies because the animals have been abandoned or are unclaimed strays.  The gallery below features photos from such cases.  Caution: These photos are graphic and may not be suitable for children or people who are easily disturbed at seeing deceased animals and animals in distress. However, we feel it is important to include this gallery for educational purposes.
