National Wild Horse and Burro Adoption Program

The National Wild Horse and Burro Adoption Program, managed by the Bureau of Land Management, allows individuals to adopt wild horses and burros that roam publicly managed lands. The program aims to find responsible homes for these animals, promoting humane treatment and reducing overpopulation. Adopters must meet certain requirements, including providing proper care and secure facilities. Many animals are available for adoption after being rounded up or gathered from wild ranges, offering enthusiasts a chance to give these iconic animals a permanent home while supporting conservation and humane management efforts.
