Update - Not to jinx anything but I think we are safe. The fire has moved away from us and is not so close. That was really scary for a minute!! Although we have an evacuation plan, actually implementing it is a whole different story because you never know how much time you have.
THANK YOU to everyone who reached out to help us. I literally cried when I realized how many kind people there were willing to help us get our animals to safety. We have too many to do it alone. In our most difficult moments, it's nice to know we have help.
THANK YOU to all of the fire fighters! They are some of the best, most badass people. I am so grateful for them risking their lives to help save ours. They didn't deserve this. It sounds like a target shooter started this fire and it was 1000% preventable.
Anyways, thank you everyone!! We will let you know if anything changes. 🥰

This week’s Sustainability Challenge from our awesome new intern! Save the planet, save the animals, save the people. 😃
Sometimes the best Valentines have hooves.
-5 DEGREES! I can't remember the last time it ever got this cold out here. Despite our best effots with a barn, extra straw and extra food, our goats were shivering. Luckily we had two dog jackets that we were able to use. We ended up making a DIY jacket out of a towel and blanket for the other two goats. It didn't work well as it slides around but it did keep them warmer. Even our cow, Indy, got a blanket. Pics in comments.
We could really use some donations because at this point, we are 100% out of straw. We also need to by two more winter coats. Any help is appreciated. We have gone through 10 bales of straw in the last week.

Thank you and stay warm all!
We are grateful for YOU!!! We can’t do this without every single one of you. Animal rescue is one of the darkest, most depressing, most expensive professions to be in. But it is also one of the happiest and most rewarding.
Because of you, we have HOPE! We have met the most amazing people on this planet!!!! Rescuing animals brings out the best in people. This is such an accepting and loving community! We are a newer nonprofit who is quickly growing and the community behind us is incredible. Donations are always a struggle but we have met some of the most generous people.
❤️We thank all of our supporters, donors, mentors and volunteers.
💙We thank all of the local businesses and vegan restaurants/bakeries that have selflessly supported us.
💚We thank everyone who has come to our events and signed up for our Patreon.
🧡We also are extremely thankful for our overworked veterinarians!
The small and selfless actions of all of you have made a HUGE impact in our abilities to help animals. Its stories like people driving long distances in the middle of the night to help us save a baby cow dying in our master bathroom that gives us hope. Or those who drove over 8 hours in their super nice car to save a pig who’s poop smell will probably never come out of the interior that gives us hope. Or the people struggling with money but still give their last penny to make sure an animal doesn’t go hungry.
These are just a few stories of people who stepped up and expected nothing in return. Their only concern was the welfare of an innocent animal.
THANK YOU for being a part of the Rescue Ranch. Together we will continue to save lives, educate those on animal welfare, save our planet and provide a better future for our children.
Sapphire is always the first to greet you. She loves to follow us around and "help" with all the chores. She even makes sure to taste test everyones food before they get it...how kind of her!
Did you know many of our animals are senior?? Because of this, vet care and medication costs are more expensive since they require more care. To add to this, many of our animals suffered abuse or neglect that we are now having to pay the costs of to make sure the animals are comfortable. They finally landed in a safe home and now deserve to be treated kindly in their golden years. If you can, please donate.
We found out that Lady will require special shoes so she can walk more comfortably. She has barley been able to walk recently. Years of neglect has brought her to this point. These shoes are expensive but she deserves them. We are hoping to get a farrier out ASAP to put real shoes on her. Right now we have clogs duct taped to her feet so she can walk. If you can help Lady we would appreciate even a few dollars. She deserves it after being starved, unwanted and neglected. This is the least we can do to make up for what people have done to her.
Donate towards her shoes, pain meds and xrays:
