Intake Date: 1/23/21
Adoption Date: 9/3/21
Length of Time with SAFE: 7 months
ADOPTED!! by Shannon
Doolin came at SAFE with three other horses after they were seized by Animal Control for severe neglect. He was part of a bigger herd that arrived at SAFE the month earlier. The previous owner had hidden these 4 ponies on their property when Animal Control picked up the first group. Doolin is four years old. He came to SAFE as an unhandled stallion, but was successfully gelded once he was gentled. His initial groundwork sessions have been successful and his is learning that we mean him no harm.
Doolin was adopted by Shannon who told us on day one she was already in love.
