TMR Rescue, Inc.

TMR Rescue is deeply committed to the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of equines, fostering a sanctuary where dignity and care are paramount for every donkey, horse, mule, and pony we shelter.

TMR Rescue is currently home to 270 equines. These horses, donkeys, mules, and ponies come from a variety of backgrounds from owner relinquishment to confiscation for abuse and neglect. We've assisted in multiple hoarding situations and rescue as many expecting mothers from slaughter every year. We rehabilitate and rehome many of these equine and provide a sanctuary to others.
So far in 2025, we have found dozens of equine their new forever homes. Every animal that comes through our adoption program is trained and socialized before leaving TMR for their new lives.
In addition to adoption, TMR Rescue utilizes outreach opportunities to teach the public about equine in need. We utilize a mini donkey named Benny. Benny provides therapy in addition to being our ambassador. He makes several trips to schools and retirement homes each month. Educating the public about equine in need has become a love of Benny's as well as ours.

Testimonials

"My volunteer journey at TMR began after falling in love with these silly (and very affectionate) animals during a Donkey Walk fundraiser. Now, even on the very hottest of summer days, I look forward to my Saturdays at TMR Rescue. The donkeys are treated with such love and kindness from the staff and it's always a special treat when I get a few minutes with Johnny (the owner), to hear some of the amazing rescue stories. Even though I have developed personal bonds with so many of the animals that I see every Saturday, nothing feels better than finding out they have been adopted by a loving family!" - Nicole Foster, Volunteer since January 2024
