L.E.A.N. stands for Local Equine Assistance Network, a program created through All Vegas Horses
What is L.E.A.N.?
Our mission focuses on using a network of fosters, volunteers and sponsors to rescue horses seized by or surrendered to the Animal Control agencies of Clark County, Nevada. L.E.A.N. has been the last hope for many horses and donkeys with no place left to go.
L.E.A.N. is unlike other rescue programs in that we do not have a physical ranch or sanctuary. All the horses are placed into private foster homes and cared for by the members of that house or barn. L.E.A.N. covers the cost of feed, medical, farrier and other needs while the animal recovers under the loving care of its foster home.
When the horse is ready, a careful saddle assessment is conducted to find out as much as we can about the horse, its likes and fears, and what it knows under saddle. Then we take our time to match the right applicant to the horse, ensuring everyone is happy. Our goal is a forever home, not just any barn. The application/approval process takes time – adoption is a process, not a purchase.
