Description of Rescue
The Hooved Animal Humane Society (HAHS) is a Non-Profit 501(c)(3) organization, founded in 1971 by six concerned and committed citizens. It is HAHS’ mission to promote the humane treatment of hooved animals through education, legislation, investigation and if necessary, legal intervention (impoundment). In addition, we provide physical rehabilitation to animals that have endured severe neglect and abuse and then adopt them out to compassionate forever homes.
HAHS also acts as an advocate, or voice, of the hooved animal. We do this by supporting legislation--both in our state, other states, and on a federal level--that protects the welfare of hooved animals. HAHS was instrumental in the passage of the original Illinois Humane Care for Animals Act in 1973.
Education HAHS believes that education is the key to the prevention of abuse and neglect of hooved animals. One way that we share our knowledge with others is through our investigators, who work with owners to raise their standard of care. We educate in lots of other ways too, by:
offering links to other animal health and humane organizations
recommending books on animal health and humane care
providing advice from an internationally renowned horse trainer
hosting informational events both on the farm and around the state
producing a quarterly newsletter with articles on animal health, legislation and other issues
