SAIN Adoption Application - Skagit Animals in Need

Adoption Application

We are so glad you're interested in providing a new home for one of our wonderful and deserving SAIN animals!

Our goal is to adopt our animals to people who are committed to lifelong care of the animals they adopt. Typically, horses that are well-cared for can live to be 25-35 years of age, barring other health issues. While we understand that sometimes things happen that can disrupt the best of plans or intentions, we also ask that you consider carefully whether you can anticipate any reason you might be unable to make a lifetime commitment to this animal. If your adoption application is approved, we will request that you contact us if your situation changes such that you are no longer able to keep or provide proper care for the animal, for any reason. We will also require a no-breeding contract.

To get started, please complete this online adoption application.
