Happy Trails Farm Animal Sanctuary works in cooperation with law enforcement to bring charges against owners of abused and neglected farm animals and horses. We rescue, rehabilitate and re-home these animals from all across the United States. Happy Trails provides volunteer opportunities at the sanctuary itself, where volunteer help clean out animal shelters, rake yards, mend fences, scrub buckets, unload hay trucks, mow grass, shovel snow, and more physical outdoor activities which help care for the rescue farm animals. Volunteer applications are posted on the website at www.happytrailsfarm.org/volunteer/. Not into physical labor? Volunteer to transport animals, help plan our next fundraiser, become a volunteer tour guide assistant, or help seasonally in the gift shop.
We look to hire from within. All interns and volunteers who apply may just be considered for openings as they arise to be a part of the stafff here at Happy Trails.

Mission Statement
Happy Trails Farm Animal Sanctuary Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that rescues, rehabilitates, and provides an adoption program for abused, abandoned, and neglected farm animals suchas horses, ponies, potbelly pigs, farm pigs, chickens, ducks, turkeys, sheep, goats, and cows.
Happy Trails serves the entire state of Ohio and any other state requesting our help, and works in cooperation with county humane societies, animal protective leagues, and local and state law enforcement officers.
Animals in our program must have been removed from a situation of abuse, neglect or abandonment by law officials, and cruelty charges must be filed against the person(s) responsible for the crime.
Description
Happy Trails Farm Animal Sanctuary has many programs in addition to the farm animal rescue services that we provide to humane agencies and law enforcement. We also have educational and outreach programs, including the Farm Animal Visitation Program where rescued farm animals are taken into nursing homes for visits with the elderly. Happy Trails Amish Horse Retirement Program accepts Standardbreds (buggyhorses) and draft (plow) horses who would normally have been sent to a local auction where they would normally be sent to slaughter. We provide rehab services for these Amish horses and then place them in permanent adoptive homes. We are unveling a new list of educational programs for 2014 which will be held at the sanctuary itself. There are many volunteer opportunies in a wide variety of categories.
