Our Story
Windy's Landing Animal Rescue was founded out of a deep love for horses and a determination to make a difference. What started as one family's commitment to saving a handful of neglected horses has grown into a full nonprofit rescue operation, providing shelter, veterinary care, and rehabilitation to animals who have nowhere else to turn.
Situated on a beautiful property in Lake Leelanau, Michigan, our rescue is a place of healing. Animals arrive here frightened, malnourished, or simply unwanted — and they leave loved, healthy, and ready for their forever home.
While horses are at the heart of what we do, we open our doors to donkeys, goats, and other animals in need. Every creature that comes through our gates deserves dignity, care, and a future.
Our Mission
Rescue
We step in when animals have nowhere else to go — responding to neglect, abuse, and surrender situations across Northern Michigan.
Rehabilitate
Every animal receives the veterinary care, nutrition, and patient handling they need to heal — physically and emotionally.
Rehome
We are always working to find our animals their forever homes — carefully matching each animal with the right family, rider, or companion.
A Community-Supported Nonprofit
Windy's Landing is a registered nonprofit organization. That means every dollar donated, every hour volunteered, and every animal sponsored goes directly toward the animals in our care. We rely entirely on the generosity of our community — and we are endlessly grateful for the support that makes this work possible.
Whether you adopt, donate, sponsor, or simply share our mission — you are part of this rescue. Thank you for helping us give these animals the life they deserve.
