We are a 15 acre rescue ranch in Murray Ne. Animals not rehomed become therapists for at-risk children, the developmentally disabled, seniors, those with mental illness and veterans. From the moment you arrive at our gate be open to being captivated and entertained. Our wide variety of friendly animals will capture hearts of both young and old. We offer wide open spaces, fresh air

(as fresh as it gets on the ranch), recreation and plenty of relaxation. Bring your camera, a picnic and enjoy the peacefulness of our country setting. You will leave smiling!
