Bear Valley Rescue: Adoption Policies


Thank you for considering the adoption of one of our rescues! 

HORSES ADOPTED FROM BEAR VALLEY RESCUE ARE RELEASED ON THE CONDITION THAT THEY NEVER BE
SOLD AT AUCTION OR FOR SLAUGHTER.
UNLESS CONSENT IS GIVEN BY BEAR VALLEY RESCUE, MARES ARE ADOPTED ON THE CONDITION
THEY NOT BE BRED.  
COLTS ARE RELEASED ON THE CONDITION THEY MUST BE GELDED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND NOT BE 
USED FOR BREEDING.  
IF THE HORSE IS FOUND TO BE UNFIT OR UNSOUND, BEAR VALLEY RESCUE WILL ACCEPT RETURN
OF THE HORSE AND REFUND THE AMOUNT PAID.
IF OWNERSHIP OF THE HORSE IS TRANSFERED THESE CONDITIONS MUST FOLLOW THE HORSE
TO ITS NEW HOME. 

No horse will leave Bear Valley Rescue unless paid for in full. We can hold a horse for you for up to 4 weeks upon receipt 
of a deposit of not less than 20%. If after 4 weeks the horse is not paid for in full and picked up/delivered, the horse will 
be relisted for sale and the deposit forfeited, unless prior arrangements are made with Bear Valley for boarding. Please 
remember that we are limited in space and funds, so that any horse staying on does restrict the number of horses we can save.
Unfortunately we do have to restrict adoptions to British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan.
