     Meaning of the Name
     The name ‘mustang’ has been derived from the Spanish word ‘mustengo’, meaning ‘ownerless beast’ or ‘stray horse’. These Mustang horses are also called wild horses because of their reckless nature. In fact, the word ‘feral’ suits them even better, which means wild and menacing.

     Mustang Horse History
     The Mustang horses that rambled across the North American grasslands in prehistoric times were referred to as dawn horses. However, at the end of the last ice age nearly 12,000 years ago, the Mustang population was wiped out from the American land. For several thousands of years, the American land was void of the thundering sound made by the hoofs of the Mustangs. Conquistadors from Spain once again introduced Mustangs to the American terrain in the 16th century. By the mid 1800s, there were millions of Mustangs rambling across the American land.

     Symbol of the American West
     The United States Congress in the year 1971 honored the Mustang horse with the title of “living symbols of the historic and pioneer spirit of the West, which continue to contribute to the diversity of life forms within the Nation and enrich the lives of the American people.” A federal law was also passed in the same year regarding the ban placed on capturing, harming or killing Mustangs freely roaming on public land.

     Animal Shelters are required to adhere to the health policies in their particular community. Many times though, economic constraints make it difficult for a Shelter to operate on a hygienically desirable level. Here is where local volunteering can come in handy. You can pitch in and try to provide the animals with the best care possible.

     Adoptions
     There is usually a specific amount of holding period, which varies from Shelter to Shelter, during which the found animal is advertised locally for a lost owner to come reclaim it or for a new owner to come offer it a home. The adoption option is offered, of course, after the concerned animal has been evaluated for good health and behavior. The Animal Shelter workers also try to ensure that it is well-matched to the prospective new owner and that the latter can guarantee a responsible and permanent home.

     Many Animal Shelters charge a fee for adoption. This amount generally covers the cost of caring for the animal, any medical treatment it required, its vaccinations and spaying or neutering cost.

     However, there are also another reasons for charging an adoption fee. Firstly, if you have a problem with paying the adoption fee, you may not be economically qualified to take care of the expenses involved in looking after a pet; cats and dogs require a lot of upkeep and have long lives. Secondly, quite a few people equate their pet’s worth by the amount of money they paid to acquire it – the more the money, the better the pet’s chances of being well-looked after and not abandoned.
