HUNDREDS of innocent dogs are put to sleep EVERY DAY in shelters across the country. One of our passionate volunteers has been pulling dogs from one of the highest kill-rate areas in the South, and we have taken her efforts to the next level. Atlanta, GA area shelters suffer from massive overcrowding and underfunding. With no choice but to euthanize when they have too many dogs, these shelters are forced to put dogs of all ages, even puppies, to sleep. PARR pulls at risk dogs from some of these high-kill shelters in Georgia, uses a network of volunteers to transport them up here, and we find them new FUREVER homes!

Steps for Adopting


1) Fill Out An Application (required). You may fill out the Online Form (top of this page), Download the PDF file (below) and scan/e-mail or fax to 717-307-3304, or Copy/Paste the text found at the bottom of this page into an e-mail and send to PARRADOPTIONS@AOL.COM
*If you choose to fill out the online form you must send us an e-mail letting us know you did! They tend to go into our spam folders!

2) Meet the Dog. The dogs are  in private foster homes so we have to coordinate with the foster parent. We will only allow you to meet the dog once your application has been approved and it seems like a perfect fit. Please respect the time of the foster familes and our volunteers. We all have full time jobs/careers and do this on a volunteer basis. Some dogs that are being pulled from a shelter because we know we have a home waiting, you can meet the Transport Van to pick up the dog, only if you are approved, references checked, your home is ready, and you are ready to take the dog home immediately from the "Arrival Day". These dogs can be tired, stressed, and will need time to settle into a quiet home with patience. We may request that the dog goes to a foster before being adopted if we do not feel an immediate placement into your forever home is of the best interest of the dog. (Examples would be if the arrival day is when you are out of town, your work schedule won't allow for you to give the dog immediate attention that day/night to observe them and make sure they are settling in, etc.). 

3) Please do not wait if you are interested in a dog. We tend to have multiple people interested in the same dog at once. We try our best to choose the most perfect home for them. Please realize we will choose the best family/situation we feel is most ideal for the dog and family. We can't hold dogs and sometimes the dog you want may already have a pending adoption before all volunteers are aware of an adoption. If we feel an application comes in and is a perfect situation, we will put that person at the top of the list for that dog pending the meeting. We post our dogs on Pet Finder, Facebook, and in local pet supply stores etc. Check our facebook page for the  most up to date info and available dogs.  If the dog you wanted is adopted, let us know what you are looking for! We can always pull another dog specifically for you!

4)  Dogs come UTD on vaccines, are tested for heartworm at the shelter's, are spayed or neutered (unless a medical reason, or too young/old. Puppies are required to be altered by six months of age and proof MUST be sent to PARR via fax or e-mail of vet's paperwork), and are microchipped. Please read the Adoption Agreement for ALL rules, expectations, requirements, etc.

PA Racehorse Rehoming,Rehabilitation, Rescue is a Federal 501(c)(3) non-profit organization Federal ID number: 66-0821935
whose Articles of Incorporation were filed with the State of Pennsylvania on May 9, 2014 (effective date of exemption) with
Public Charity Status 509(a)(2) under section 501(c)(3).
Contributions made to PARR are tax deductible. Our Letter of Determination
from the IRS was received on April 16, 2015 and any donations made after May 9th, 2014 may qualify for tax exemption.


Our Legal Name is "PA Racehorse Rehoming, Rehabilitation, & Rescue" and we often go by the abbreviated nickname "PARR". PARR operates  on a 100% volunteer basis with all proceeds going to our cause and the animals. Any and all items or monetary donations go directly to the expenses of supporting these animals. This includes veterinary expenses, transport, "pull" fees, food/boarding or stabling/supplies/etc, legal fees, advertising/event costs, merchandise expenses, website and technology fees etc. Individuals on the Board are not paid for their positions. We offer 100% transparency and are happy to answer any questions and provide all financial information at any time.
Our officers, directors, and volunteers take a neutral position with respect to the controversy associated with horse racing. Our efforts focus on the well being, re-homing, and education and support of ex-racehorses and finding them new careers after their racing careers have ended. We also support at-risk shelter dogs and occasional at-risk horses that end up neglected or in auction/slaughter situations when finances and abilities allow us to help. Any "listings" are simply to help network animals into new homes and we
can not be responsible for the representation of those animals.

As of July 2021, the facility we rented in Pennsylvania was sold out from under us with barely enough time to relocate over 30 horses anywhere in the area. We were able to secure a permanent residence at a new farm in Ocala and move all of our horses there. PARR now resides in Ocala, Florida but still operates as usual, helping horses from Pennsylvania as much as we can, offering sanctuary to our lifelong residents that are not adoptable or require veterinary care to say comfortable, and have our OTTB retraining program here in Ocala as well.

We are now permanently located at 6856 SW 70th Ave. Ocala, Florida 34476.
