Programs
The Hooved Animal Rescue & Protection Society (HARPS) has a longstanding reputation of being the resource for horse and farm animal rescue. On a daily basis, HARPS receives calls from concerned citizens about possible cases of neglect and starvation. Each call is screened, and if warranted, state certified investigators are sent to the location of the animal(s) in jeopardy. HARPS works closely with animal control, law enforcement, and the Illinois Department of Agriculture to secure justice for abused animals. If owners refuse to abide by the state humane laws the animal may be impounded and a hearing in the circuit court may be set. Impounded neglected and abused animals are taken to our rehabilitation farm where they are assessed, and then provided all necessary veterinary treatment and starvation refeeding diet. Once they have physically recovered, they received basic training, and are then placed for adoption into appropriate and permanent homes.
