Greetings from Doxy's Horse Recovery, Inc. and Clyde, a 8 year old barn clown who came to us dying of pneumonia and miraculously survived, the mascot of Doxy's.  He has a comforter in the barn that he pulls down every night for his blanket.  Clyde represents our mission, a love for horses.
Michael announced that Clyde could be adopted for a firm ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!  The fee was then increased to $1.5 million after discovering Clyde could be saddled, bridled and ridden.  His adoption fee is now TWO MILLION DOLLARS since Clyde was featured in a magazine, "Kids Wear" - what a guy, from clown to celebrity! 

Welcome to Doxy's Horse Recovery

Doxy's Horse Recovery, Inc. is run by a couple who feel passionate about caring for unwanted horses and placing them in loving new homes. Doxy's was started when they moved to the country from a residential area so they could continue with their rescue of dachshunds. Their new location also offered them the opportunity to begin taking in and re-homing horses. The name Doxy's comes from the many dachshunds they have in addition to the horses.

Doxy's Horse Recovery, Inc.’s mission is to recover, rehabilitate and re-home horses that otherwise have no chance at life and are typically headed to facilities for slaughter and sold as meat.  Some of these horses come through the auction and others are direct cast-offs from the horse racing industry. When you adopt a horse from Doxy's you are helping to save a life and to further Doxy's mission.

Doxy’s is committed to education as the only solution to the plight of horses by educating individuals and the public about proper care and responsibilities, the issues of neglect, abuse, and slaughter and over-breeding.

All adoptable and adopted horses can be viewed at Petfinder.com, Equine.com, Horseclicks.com, Rescue Me.org. and on Facebook.

Rescue Me! is a free site to help find homes for adoptable animals. Learn more!

Doxy's is a 501(c)(3) public charity, retroactively approved to July 2009.  We have no paid employees and an all volunteer board of officers.  We believe in "Connecting Good People with Good Horses".

We encourage visitors, including small groups from scout troops, 4-H, etc., to tour Doxy's and find out about the horses and their care.  If you would like to have a group visit, give us a call and we'll set up a time that's convenient for everyone.  If you have a group that cannot travel, we may be able to make arrangements to visit you.
 
Directions to Doxy's:
Take route 88 to the Afton exit, which turns into 41 north. Follow route 41 for 4-5 miles, make a left turn onto Sprague Road, go for 1 1/2 miles, house is on the left before the state land. Look for 354 Sprague Road and a horse flag flying from an out building just past the house.
 

Doxy's Horse Recovery, Inc. Awards

We at how-to-train-a-horse.org truly admire those who dedicate time out of their lives towards helping horses.  As many people know, healthy horses require large amounts of time and money, but only few know that the horses sent to rescues and shelters don't need just time and money, but also need a loving family to reverse years of abuse and neglect.  

Without horse rescues like Doxy's Horse Recovery, countless horses would not get the care they need and many horses may have never found happiness.  Because of this we wanted to show our appreciation towards your staff for not only saving horses lives but also for improving the quality of life for many horses.  So we are pleased to present Doxy's Horse Recovery with our Horse Rescue & Relief Award.

We thank you for all the time and hard work your organization provides for horses in need.  We understand what a difficult task this can be and hope that this token of our appreciation will show you how much you really are appreciated.

Thanks again for all that you do!

We at HorseBreedsInfo.com are pleased to present you with a Horse Rescue Award for excellence in helping horses in need. We realize that, more than any other shelter animals, horses are one of the biggest undertakings and require the most dedication in order to properly care for them. Because of that, we look for the best rescues that put in that extra effort and prove to be worth praise– Doxy's Horse Recovery is absolutely an organization we place among those that need recognition.

Thank you for all the work you and your organization provides for horses in need. We know exactly how difficult and thankless a task it can be, so we hope this little token helps even a little bit.
