Greetings from Doxy's Horse Recovery and Clyde the mascot of Doxy's home.  He is a seven year old barn clown who came to us dying of pneumonia and miraculously survived.  He has a comforter in the barn that he pulls down every night for his blanket.  Clyde represents our mission, a love for horses.
Michael has announced that Clyde may be adopted for a firm ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!  Sorry the fee was increased to $1.5 million since we've discovered Clyde can be saddled, bridled and ridden.  The price has increased again, now TWO MILLION DOLLARS since Clyde has become a celebrity for a European magazine, "Kids Wear" - 4 working pictures below - what a guy, from clown to celebrity!  P.S.  He's about as clean and groomed as he's ever been since he came to Doxy's to live.

Welcome to Doxy's Horse Recovery

Doxy's Horse Recovery is run by a couple who feel passionate about caring for unwanted horses and placing them in loving new homes. Doxy's was started when they moved to the country from a residential area so they could continue with their rescue of dachshunds. Their new location also offered them the opportunity to begin taking in and re-homing horses. The name Doxy's comes from the many dachshunds they have in addition to the horses.

Doxy's Horse Recovery mission is to recover, rehabilitate and re-home horses who otherwise have no chance at life. Doxy's takes in horses that are sold for meat and headed toward slaughter. Some of these horses come through the auction and others are direct cast-offs from the horse racing industry. When you adopt a horse from Doxy's you are helping to save a life and to further the Doxy's mission.

All adoptable and adopted horses can be viewed at Petfinder.com and Rescue Me.org.

Doxy's is a 501(c)(3) public charity, retroactively approved to July 2009.  We have no paid employees and an all volunteer board of officers.  We believe in "Connecting Good People with Good Horses".

We encourage visitors, including small groups from scout troops, 4-H, etc., to tour Doxy's and find out about the horses and their care.  If you would like to have a group visit, give us a call and we'll set up a time that's convenient for everyone.  Directions to Doxy's:
Take route 88 to the Afton exit, which turns into 41 north. Follow route 41 for 4-5 miles, make a left turn onto Sprague Road, go for 1 1/2 miles, house is on the left before the state land. Look for 354 Sprague Road and a horse flag flying from an out building just past the house. We also have a large Doxy’s banner displayed across the front of the chain link fence.
 
 

We at HorseBreedsInfo.com are pleased to present you with a Horse Rescue Award for excellence in helping horses in need. We realize that, more than any other shelter animals, horses are one of the biggest undertakings and require the most dedication in order to properly care for them. Because of that, we look for the best rescues that put in that extra effort and prove to be worth praise– Doxy's Horse Recovery is absolutely an organization we place among those that need recognition.

Thank you for all the work you and your organization provides for horses in need. We know exactly how difficult and thankless a task it can be, so we hope this little token helps even a little bit.
