Welcome to The Ranch!
The Happy Pants Ranch is an independant, donation reliant animal sanctuary charity based in North Kent and home to over 300 unwanted, abandoned, disabled and special needs animals from all over the country and abroad. From cats to ferrets and donkeys to tortoises - the sanctuary takes in animals that have no where else to go - a "last chance saloon” for animals on death row. I've always loved animals - since my first hamster, Snowball, when I was 5 years old, I've owned and cared for hundreds of animals over the years. As I was an only child my pets were my friends and I became vegetarian at the age of 8, despite both my parents being carnivores. Although I'm originally from Huddersfield in West Yorkshire, over the years I've lived in different places all over the country from Newcastle to London and, despite studying and working as a Graphic Designer, animals have always been my passion and something I never grew out of. Unintentionally the charity started in 2008, when, after a move to Kent meant me giving up my design job in London and setting up business as a professional dog walker and pet sitter. This is where the name originated: Happy Pants. Looking after other people's pets was meant to be my "animal fix" but the opposite happened... I was offered to rehome to a few unwanted waifs and strays - a small flock of ex-battery hens and some guinea pigs at first and once word of this spread more requests came in to take in more unwanted pets. After posting funny and heartwarming videos of the rescue animals on social media a following began and as the amount of awareness and support increased so did the number of animals the sanctuary was able to help. The Happy Pants Ranch was born! The charity has now brought cats back from Spain, saved turkeys from christmas dinner, taken in ducks with broken legs and pigs with attitude! From ferrets to cows - The Happy Pants Ranch has become a "last chance saloon” for animals “on death row.” The charity is run entirely by local volunteers and funded only by donations so community and public support is vital to keep the sanctuary going. You can help in lots of ways, from physical help volunteering with the animals care and upkeep to online support by sharing posts, fundraising and helping to raise awareness! PLEASE NOTE: The sanctuary is closed for visits due to COVID-19 for the forseeable future. Hopefully all events, opendays and visits will resume in summer so watch this space! For volunteering oppotunities, donation drop off point details and full location address please message the page.
Please be patient with replies as there is only myself who runs and manages all aspects of The Ranch. Thank you so much everyone for all your support and I hope you enjoy the page! Amey :) xx Ranch Manager, Founder, Volunteer and general animal nut!
