Heritage & Healing
Desiree Sewall, a California native, moved to North Texas with her family to pursue a lifelong dream of caring for animals. After volunteering at a therapeutic riding center, she discovered a profound calling to rescue and rehabilitate hoofed animals. We believe every creature deserves dignity and a second chance, and our mission is to create a sanctuary where healing and hope thrive together.
"The righteous care for the needs of their animals." — Proverbs 12:10
At Hooves Haven, we live out this calling every day by rescuing, healing, and protecting vulnerable animals in our care.

We are building a legacy of hope and healing for the animals we rescue and the communities we serve through expanded programs and welcoming spaces.
