We found Hooves & Paws through Petfinder and could not have been happier with our entire experience! Michele and Joey were extremely kind and helpful and clearly offer a great life for each and every animal on their farm. We adopted a puppy out of a recent litter and were pleased with the process - we knew the pup was getting great care in the lead up to our pickup day. Michele left us with food, meds, thorough medical records, and a happy puppy excited for the next chapter in his life. The property itself is serene - we were coming from the Richmond area and it was a very easy drive. You'll be greeted by a few friendly permanent dog residents like Blue and Badger!

We love that our puppy spent his first few months in such wonderful care and surroundings - and it makes us happy knowing that so many animals will be in Hooves & Paws capable hands, now and in the future.

Michelle and Joey have done a wonderful job with fencing, shelters, and bringing in many rescue animals that they care for with compassion, hard work and love. The property is beautiful and well kept. It is obvious that they have a real heart for what they are doing.

Hooves and Paws is a top-notch nonprofit organization run by Michele and her excellent team. Pete and I recently adopted a Feist mix which we named Maggie because of her beautiful black and white coat much like the bird’s feathers. We can’t thank Hooves and Paws enough for making it possible for Maggie to be ours!

Our MAR (Mid Atlantic Roadrunners) Group of campers have taken a trip out to Hooves & Paws every year for the last 3 to see what it’s all about! We were curious the first year about what it was all about. We learned they came from California with a very few animals they had rescued. Each year since when we visit they have expanded with more rescue animals and more land. This is a nonprofit organization and need all of the help they can get! It is such a special place to visit! We look forward to next year visiting with the most generous couple (Joey & Michele) from Hooves & Paws.

Hooves and Paws is a wonderful nonprofit organization! I started volunteering with them in May of 2023, and working with Michele (and all the animals!) has been such a pleasure. Each animal in their sanctuary is provided with high quality care and tons of love and attention! I can’t wait to see how they expand their sanctuary in the coming years!

I found this wonderful non-profit organization 3 years ago, and had them give our RV club, the Mid-Atlantic Roadrunners, a tour. We have been back to visit them and see the improvements they have made every year since our first visit. The animals taken in by Hooves and Paws are happy, healthy, and very well cared for by Michele, Joey, and their volunteer helpers. They work tirelessly to give the animals in their care a meaningful life. Our club, as well as a few individual members, donate to this worthy cause to help defray their expenses. If you have a chance to visit their animal sanctuary, do not hesitate. You will not be disappointed.

I volunteer at Hooves and Paws Animal Rescue and look forward to every minute of my time there.

Michelle and Joey are obviously committed to providing a safe and rich environment where the wide variety of animals can live healthy, happy lives. Their love of the animals is unmistakable when you visit the sanctuary.

This is evidenced by the fact the animals are relaxed, friendly, and obviously enjoy interaction with people and each other. There are green pastures, with lots of grass to eat, for them to roam and play in. Everyone is loved and very well cared for, including getting professional medical care when needed.

This is a wonderful place to volunteer at, visit, adopt from, or donate to.

We adopted Lily in September, 2021 from Hooves and Paws Animal Rescue. They were so friendly and you could tell the animals were all genuinely loved and cared for. I was so impressed with our visit to the farm. The adoption process was well organized. We also appreciated all the information that was shared with us about Lily’s previous situation and her progress and temperament. Lily has made a wonderful addition to our home. We would highly recommend Hooves and Paws Animal Rescue to others.

Hooves & Paws is outstanding! They do such wonderful work and are just fantastic folks all around! I am so grateful to H&P for their work in rescuing Remi (fka "Himmie"), whom I adopted this past May (2021).

A couple of months prior, H&P and its network of supporters discovered Remi/Himmie, who was picked up stray, malnourished and suffering from several health problems including mange and heartworms, in a shelter in Memphis, TN. H&P and its supporters helped to rescue Remi from the shelter, begin his veterinary care, and be fostered locally in TN. After getting him stabilized and healthy enough to travel, H&P drove halfway to Memphis, TN (from Louisa County, VA... a LONG drive!) to meet the fostering family and to take Remi back to their facility at H&P.

In May, I traveled to H&P's facility to do a "meet & greet" between Remi and my other dog, Athena. The dogs got along well and not long thereafter, when I was ready to adopt Remi, H&P traveled to my home to deliver him. At the time of adoption, H&P committed to taking on the cost of the veterinary care to complete the treatments for the health conditions from which Remi was suffering at the time. They have followed through on that pledge and Remi is now a healthy boy! He is sweet and happy and enjoys his home with Athena and his humans.

The lengths to which H&P (and its supporters) went to rescue Remi and get him healthy have been tremendous! Remi is lucky to have been found by them and my family and I are fortunate to have found H&P and to have adopted Remi. THANK YOU SO MUCH, H&P!!

We adopted our sweet big boy from Hooves & Paws Animal Rescue in November 2020 and it was an amazing experience! They made sure that we were the perfect fit for the animal we were interested in, took the time to get to know me and the environment to ensure it would work best for the animals we already had and the dog we wanted to adopt and we have maintained communication and a relationship beyond the date of the adoption. I love sending pictures of our big boy to them showing them how he is doing, and they always reply and say how they love seeing these updates as well. You can tell that they do this work with all their hearts! My experience was so wonderful with this rescue organization that my daughter and I wanted to give back to them in some way. So, we coordinated a pet supply drive for them last Christmas within our neighborhood as a way to show our appreciation for all they do for the animals they rescue and the families they help find their new furry family members! They truly give their animals a lovely life on their property and work in such a kind and timely manner with those interested in adopting from them. I can’t put into words how great my experience was with them, and I always tell people about them when they ask about a rescue organization to consider for adoption.

I highly recommend Hooves and Paws Animal Rescue as I have seen first hand the amazing work that they do on a daily basis. This past spring they rescued a dog from a Memphis area shelter that was too malnourished and sick to be adopted by an individual. Hooves and Paws was able to get him vet care for a month until he was well enough to travel and was then adopted into a great home. The rescue paid for all of his expenses including heartworm treatment which is costly. This dog, now named Remi is now a beautiful, healthy and loving companion. If it was not for Hooves and Paws Remi most likely would have been euthanized and would never have known a loving home. I know they have been able to help so many other animals in need.
They help dogs as well as many others (horses, cows, etc). I know that any donation I make to Hooves and Paws goes directly to saving animals from dire situations. I so appreciate them and the work they do.
It is my hope they can continue their efforts.
I will attach a before picture of Remi and some current ones.

We recently made the long drive to Louisa, Virginia, to see first-hand the Hooves and Paws Rescue. We were immediately impressed with the dedication both Joey and Michelle put into their facility. All animals have beautiful pasture to freely run and play. The animals are healthy, happy, and well cared for. But by far the most impressive thing to witness was the love and passion Joey and Michelle bring to their animals and their rescue. We were so moved by their cause we drove home with a newly adopted dog.

I have had the pleasure of visiting Hooves and Paws repeatedly throughout the last ten years. I have seen it develop from a modest and rustic operation to a spectacular five-star animal rescue. The most important takeaway for me was meeting the animals. I was pleased to see the care taken to ensure that the animals enjoy a high quality of living. These animals are treated extremely well. As a result, they are friendly, happy, and healthy. They are overall laid back, and seem to enjoy the company of other animals- including people. I have never seen a more relaxed and better run animal rescue.

Hooves and Paws rescued Mrs. Dash from the shelter, where she'd been turned in by her owners family after they had passed away. She was 10yrs old and had heart problems. I fell in love with her face and she has warmed my heart ever since. I have visited them, when they were in California, and the animals, both large and small, were loved and well cared for. They all had names, were treated as individuals and were all very happy. LOVE these people for all they do to make the lives of these creatures happy.

Michele and Joey are very patient with animals and they always know that each animal will come around socially - one just has to be patient.

My 7 year old daughter snuck an egg from a barnyard. Wrapped it in a blanket. Held it on her lap for the two hour drive home. We were certain it would never hatch. He became the love of her life. Sleeping next to her bed, enduring the doll outfits she dressed him in, sitting on her lap while she did homework or watched TV. He taught her responsibility, compassion and kindness. She became a vegetarian because of him. She learned what an Ornithologist was and considered becoming one someday. He calmed her wild heart and inspired her to be still for long peaceful moments. When he was 6 months old, Henry began loudly announcing to the world how much he loved Ava. A neighbor complained (not everyone speaks Rooster) Animal Control forced a little girl to give up her baby. After searching endlessly for a new home (nobody wants a rooster) Michele and Joey at Hooves & Paws Animal Rescue said, "Yes!...of course....we can take him...and Ava can visit whenever she likes." They are an amazing young couple caring for over a hundred rescued animals. They have great volunteers, but whenever we visit Joey and Michelle are always hard at work cleaning pens and mending fences. Henry only lived two more years. No one really knows why he died. We think he died of a broken heart. Michele and Joey had to make that heart wrenching phone call to us. They are good people doing incredible work. Hooves and Paws is one of the BEST rescues EVER!!

My time is limited, but I make time to be a board member of Hooves & Paws because the commitment, the devotion, the caring, and the love for these animals at this rescue are remarkable and, quite frankly, unparalleled. Hooves & Paws maintains a clean, loving environment for animals that have no where else to go. No questions asked. The commitment to animals is pure, genuine, and limitless. Sick animals get the proper medical treatment. Special needs animals get the proper accommodations. And when a critter's time finally comes, it gets the proper respectful burial. I'm proud to be associated with this rescue and anyone who cares for animals needs to come out to visit us and see that this is the real deal.

What an amazing rescue!!! I donate each month and I know my money is going to a worthy cause and being used to help the animals and not administrative expenses. The volunteers who run Hooves and Paws are amazing with the animals and have dedicated their lives to better the lives of all of these needy animals who have been abused or neglected. I have visited the rescue several times and the animals all seem so well taken care of and happy. So many rescues nowadays are out for personal profit and yet the people who run Hooves and Paws do not take a dime. Complete and total self sacrifice for a greater cause. Who can ask for more from a rescue?

This sanctuary is the best I've known! Michele & Joey are dedicated in helping & rescuing all animals. The compassion I've seen them give all of them is absolutely amazing!. I started volunteering at Hooves and Paws about 2 years ago and I fell in love with this place. I tell everyone about it and I encourage all my friends and family to help and volunteer or make a small or big donation anything will help this sanctuary help animals in need of food, shelter and medicine. Hooves and Paws have also helped my husband have 100% love and compassion for all animals, my husband Luis even became vegetarian and it's been one year already. I've been vegetarian for 3 years now but never thought I could convert my husband but Hooves and Paws did! I'm telling you peeps! this sanctuary is absolutely AMAZING AND THE VERY BEST!!
My heart will always be with this sanctuary and my drive to them is a little over an hour but I don't mind the drive I will always be dedicated to Hooves and Paws.

March 2015 Hooves and Paws helped rescue a stray goat that wandered into our canyon neighborhood. We live in a little canyon community and a neighbor approached me asking if I knew of anyone that was missing a goat. I didn't and after lots of inquires by many of us, asking our community and surrounding neighborhood the goat didn't seem to belong to anyone. My neighbor had found her on the hillside of his backyard. He did his best to feed her but she seemed to be ill or injured. She wasn't eating well, she was wild, afraid and unaproachable. There wasn't much shelter and she was vulnerable to predators as we have coyotes, bob cats and mountain lions here. I reached out to a local farm animal sanctuary only to be given a list of other sanctuaries to ask for help, one of which was Hooves and Paws. Hooves and Paws came out to rescue this wayward goat when no other sanctuary would. Hooves and Paws organized our community and together we worked to capture the goat (as she was wild and afraid) and they took her to live in safety and comfort at their sanctuary. As it turned out, she was pregnant and not too long after arriving at the sanctuary she gave birth to two beautiful baby goats. All are living happily and thriving at Hooves and Paws. I will never forget and will always be grateful for Hooves and Paws coming to the rescue when no one else would. They are doing wonderful work saving animals and deserve recognition and support so they can continue helping animals that wouldn't have help otherwise. Thank you Hooves and Paws with all my heart! - Rhiannon Barkemeijer de Wit

This is truly one of the best rescues I have ever come across. They really care about the animals they rescue and have a genuine love for each and every one. They work so hard and sacrifice so much for the lives of these animals to give them a better life.
