What began as a shelter to rescue ponies and small horses from auction houses has expanded to house more animals over the years.
Located on 12 Great Neck Road in Wareham, Peace for Ponies is a nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing animals.
At its open house on Saturday, June 25, many visited for a tour and to check out the animals. Peace for Ponies will host another open house in the fall.
For more information about the shelter, please visit their website or their Facebook page.
