Twenty former research horses are in immediate need of placement. Scarlet is just 10 years old with much of her life yet to live and enjoy. Trudy is missing her right eye, but is one of the sweetest horses you could ever hope to meet. Bailey was a champion jumper before being donated into research. These are just a few of the beautiful Thoroughbreds whose time in research has come to an end. They are in urgent need of new homes or sanctuary. As Kindness Ranch cannot currently accept additional horses, we are actively working with this institution to find these horses new homes or sanctuaries. Please help us find these horses new homes.
Thanks to Paws and Claws Society and the Staats Foundation of Thorofare, New Jersey, Kindness Ranch is the proud owner of a comfortable three horse trailer! From horse rescues to vet trips, the new trailer will be put to immediate use. The motto of Paws and Claws Society is “Partners in Prevention, Not Destruction”. The saying certainly has great meaning with this gift . It enables us to rescue and care for more horses and other farm animals. We couldn’t do what we do with out the support and partnership of such caring organizations!
Daisy and Donald, two beagle basset mixes, are the newest Kindness Ranch residents. They arrived a few days ago from Michigan. Just two years old, Daisy and Donald were owner surrendered to an animal shelter in Michigan that releases to a notorious Class B dealer. The Class B dealer sells dogs and cats to research facilities. Their time was nearly up when we asked local wonderful rescue workers to pull them from the shelter.
Sanctuary resident Angel, a whippet mix, met her special person today. Birgit Fowler Burke of Laramie, Wyoming saw Angel’s picture online and fell in love. From this day forward, Birgit says, Angel’s life is going to be filled with cuddles, couch time, and music. After six years in teaching and research, Angel is starting a whole new life with a very special person.
From treats for the horses to catnip for the cats, our supporters have made the holidays very merry for Kindness Ranch residents. In the last few weeks, we have been so touched to receive boxes filled with thoughtful toys for the cats, dogs, pigs, and horses. The animals have been overjoyed! As former research animals, toys and treats are often new. If you have never received a toy or a treat, it is all the more precious. Thanks to our generous supporters, everyone has enjoyed a special treat meant just for them!
