Welcome to MississippiHorses.org, an online community dedicated to providing horse owners opportunities to insure their horses will be treated with dignity and respect when they are no longer wanted. Our network includes people and facilities that will assist in finding a horse, regardless of condition, a place to live without the worry of the horse being sent to auction and ending up in a slaughterhouse. We have resources that will allow us to take younger horses and either place them with a loving family or retrain them for a different use. Finally, if the horse is at the end of its life and needlessly suffering, MississippiHorses.org can arrange for humane euthanasia through the Operation MS Horse medical fund.

Our mission is simple: to protect horses and help owners who can no longer care for their animals find a humane and loving alternative to cruel death by slaughter or abandonment.

******Please Help******

The Rankin County Animal Shelter is in need of thirteen 12’ livestock panels. Horses that are seized due to abuse or neglect have to remain at the facility for 90 days. The horses are kept in stalls with no place to exercise, and these panels will enable the shelter to give them some space while keeping them quarantined. The portable panels will also help animal control officers corral horses that are hard to catch. Donated panels or monetary donations to go towards purchasing the panels will go a long way in making life better for these abused and neglected horses. Please call the Rankin County Animal Control Officer, Ken Sullivan at 601-824-2024 and find out how you can help.
