Horses, cows and even emus -- they are not the animals you expect to find at an animal rescue shelter.

Osceola County’s animal shelter has been bombarded with livestock over the past few months, but the shelter is already at capacity.

Six horses, some abandoned, left hungry and alone are all now at the Osceola County Animal Shelter. It’s their last hope and their last chance to find a home.

"Well, we try to get them healthy before they get adopted," said Kim Staton, director of Osceola County Animal Services. However, getting them healthy can cost the shelter thousands of dollars.

We first reported a few months ago that they have seen a record number of dog and cat surrenders which already has them searching for more space and pinching pennies.

So far, Staton said they haven't had to cut any corners because they are pulling from the donation fund to support all of the animals. However she is worried about getting these animals adopted. They’ve already been trying to get two of the horses adopted for nine months.

We caught up with Cynthia Bronson Glasheen, with Witts End Farm Esquine Rescue and Rehab Inc. She explained why she thinks they are seeing so much livestock being turned over.

"They are expensive. I mean taxes on agricultural land in the area is so high," Glasheen said.

We've been told that a lot of these horses have emotional and medical needs which is why people at the shelter believe they are having a hard time getting people to adopt them.

"It is important that we find good homes for these animals. And when I mean good homes I mean with someone that is willing to take care of them," Staton said.

Since they are putting them up for adoption at around $100 they are hoping someone comes to adopt them before they get another call about a horse in need.
