Enrollment Policies  Revised 9/1/2006          

Thank you for thinking about enrolling your horse in the Greener Pastures Rescue Network. Greener Pastures Rescue is a non-profit, volunteer organization dedicated to finding good new homes and providing better lives for horses in Connecticut .  At this time we do not maintain our own facility.  To succeed in our mission we network through our data base, our website and related websites. 

The following is an outline of the steps we take. Please carefully review the notes on your horse for accuracy and, if possible, provide a current photo or two. We cannot take responsibility for horses placed without our adoption program.

With the growing cost of band width and network storage services, we are forced to make a change to our old policy of listing rescue horses.  We will be instituting a two tier policy for listing horses on our website as of September 1, 2006. 

Tier 1 listings will have a fee of $10 per month for use of the GPR Network page with the Horse photo/information and owner’s phone number.  This fee will not include any future services or oversight by our organization and the cost is a monthly fee due by the 20th of the month. 

Tier 2 listings will be the same as our listings have been in the past, however, a fee of $250 will be due at the time of placement of the horse.   This fee will ensure the continued oversight our organization offers to protect your horse in the future.  

You have taken the first step by contacting us.

1. For a Tier 1 listing on the GPR web page with your phone number, please fill out the questionnaire below, sign, and forward it with your enrollment check made out to Greener Pastures Rescue by the 20th of the month and each month following that you wish to list your horse.  Additional payment options are listed below.

Network Listing Payment Options:  (rebate not available if horse is placed prior to expiration of listing.)  Please include initial payment with questionnaire.

2. For Tier 1 horses listed on the web with owner’s phone numbers, you will be contacted directly by interested parties.
3. For a Tier 2 enrollment into the GPR program and to take advantage of the future oversight and protection offered by Greener Pastures Rescue, please fill out the enrollment form below, sign, and mail it to GPR.   The $250 fee will be due as part of the completion of the adoption process.
4. For Tier 2 horses enrolled and listed on the Adoption page we will refer any interested party to you.

A.     If someone is seriously interested in adopting your horse, you contact us with relevant information and we in turn get in touch with the new owners and inspect their facility.

B.     We do require a current negative coggins and a rabies certificate.

C.    Once we have an approval on the new home and the adopters sign the adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee.  You assign ownership of your horse to Greener Pastures Rescue and pay the $250 non refundable fee.

D.    Your horse is transported to its new home and our responsibility continues. We monitor the well-being of the horse through phone calls and personal, unannounced visits.

E.     We consider it our responsibility to make certain that the horse enjoys quality of life. If the care is not up to our expectations, we either work on improving it or try to find a new better home for the horse.

F.     In order not to squander our resources, we ask you to please immediately inform us should you find a new home for your horse on your own or should you decide to keep your horse.
