Wanted: a good home for 23 neglected and abandoned ponies, 10 dogs, some goats, and one donkey.

The animals were rescued Mar. 7 from a ranch in Menifee, Calif., where they were abandoned several weeks ago. A concerned resident contacted animal-control officers, who found the animals with some food but a dwindling water supply.

After several unsuccessful attempts to contact the missing owner, the department decided to move the animals to another ranch in Nuevo.

"We've been feeding them and trimmed (hooves on) half of the them, and the other half will be trimmed this week," said Doug Williams, the ranch owner, whose property has been used for several years as temporary housing for abandoned animals. "They'll be in excellent condition before they go out to a good home."

For $150, interested parties can take home any of the neglected animals.

"These animals mean the world to Animal Services, especially when they're abandoned," said Samantha Phillips, a Riverside County animal-control officer. "I'm just looking for them to go to a great home."
