Our Story
D&H Farm Inc. is a non-profit corporation that was organized exclusively for charitable purposes; specifically for horse and dog rescue, rehabilitation, life-long sanctuary, and the prevention of cruelty to animals, and secondarily, to use equine-related and dog-related activities for the betterment of handicapped, at-risk, and elderly persons.
Operations began in 1990 with the rescue of our first Newfoundland dog, Moses, followed shortly thereafter by Tara, Bear, Lucy, and Norman. We rescued our first at-risk horse in 1993, Joe Cool, an international jumping champion who had grown old and could no longer compete. In 1994, we began rescuing racehorses headed for slaughter with Lotta Funs Best and Genuine Ticket.
In 2010, we incorporated as D&H Farm, Inc., a non-profit corporation, which was granted 501(c)(3) status by the Internal Revenue Service. At that time, D&H Farm had already provided sanctuary to more than 30 dogs and 20 horses.
In 2014, we moved the sanctuary to Temecula, California. Our animals have about 12 acres on which to enjoy one another. We have added many to our family including, horses, dogs, cats, mules, and donkeys.
Currently, there are 26 animals in our family, including; 12 horses, 3 mules, 2 donkeys, 6 dogs, and 3 cats. Their stories are heart-rending, saved from slaughter, abused, abandoned, and just forsaken. They all have found a caring and supportive environment. Their welfare comes first.
Our sanctuary is supported entirely by donations and volunteer efforts. We have no paid employees; it is a labor of love.
