Heroes, Horses and Hounds is a 501c3, non-profit. We are dedicated to improving our communities by helping the people and animals in them. Our mission is to save two lives at once by rescuing unwanted horses and dogs and retraining them for service and animal assisted programs.


By offering a wide variety of programs and classes we are able to reach a large number of people in need. Our classes and programs are designed to help Veterans, Kids at risk, People recovering from strokes and using prosthetics, inmates, and people with PTSD and Autism.


We also offer educational programs for schools and libraries. 

Heroes Mutt Strut


Join us on Saturday, June 22 2019 for the first ever Heroes, Horses and Hound's Mutt Strutt! 

  This dog friendly walk-a-thon will be raising money to support the training and care of Baloo and Frank, The two service puppies in training we donated in April to Two children with Autism.

    We donate one or two service dogs every year to a family/person who cannot afford the cost of a service dog. Training a puppy from start to finish often runs around $25,000. We are raising $10,000 and donating the rest of our training time. The money raised at theis year's Mutt Strutt will go towards the training and care of Baloo and Frank. 


Register and fundraise either as a team, or an individual, and create a customizable, online and easy to share fundraising page.

We found a farm!


We have moved into our new home in Sunderland, Ma! Our little farm has been started. We have the animals home and some of the fencing up. We are working on finishing the project. We need one more shed barn to house the horses for the winter, more electric fencing and posts, sheds for hay, grain and tack storage. Do you have some spare time to help get the farm fenced and sheds built? Please contact us to set up a time to help or drop of donations of materials and fencing!


Heroes' rescue dogs, service dogs in training and training classes now have a building!

After many months of ups and downs and twists and turns we have finally closed on a building to house our programs, training classes, rescue dogs and dogs in training!

  The building is huge and will allow us to not only run our non profit but also offer valuable services to our clients both canine and human! From doggie daycare and boarding, grooming, Dog friendly events, sensory friendly events, a co-op wellness center and community room our new home is going to be able to serve many people and dogs in our community!

   We will be having a soft opening in June and a grand opening event this fall when a lot of the improvements we have planned are finished!
