Help Rescue Ranch Continue our Mission!

One of the things that makes Rescue Ranch unique is our unwavering commitment to treating EVERY animal just like we treat our own pets at home - with all the care, love, and attention they need and deserve. Sometimes that promise can result in some unexpected twists and turns, but no matter where the path takes us, we are always here for our beloved animals.

In 2023, Rescue Ranch's veterinarian expenses have already EXCEEDED $25,000.00 and with the anticipated addition of new animal ambassadors over the month of December, the veterinarian expense is expected to increase.

Meet Poirot, Columbo and Wimsey!

We are thrilled to share that we recently added three alpacas to the Rescue Ranch family of animal ambassadors: Poirot, Columbo and Wimsey. They are approximately 8 years old and came from a family who is currently going through some major life changes. Upon arrival, all three boys have received their wellness exams, yearly vaccinations and hoof trims.

Poirot is currently dealing with an abscess on his right cheek. Unfortunately, we do not know what exactly is causing the open wound - it has been guessed that it could be an infected tooth root, a bone fragment or foreign body. Due to the many questions surrounding this issue, it has been recommended by our local large animal vet to send Poirot to the vet hospital at NC State. There, they will be able to take more accurate xrays, diagnose and hopefully treat the issue at hand. The estimate for this is $3,000. Poirot needs your help.

We are very excited to have alpacas! Rescue Ranch has never been home to alpacas before and we are excited to incorporate them into our education programs. Some additional expenses for alpacas include their alpaca specific grain, hoof trimming, shearing, yearly vaccinations, hay and additional shelter. Poirot, Columbo and Wimsey need your love and support. Please consider making a donation today. Your gift of any amount is appreciated and our alpacas thank you!

On top of veterinarian expenses, Rescue Ranch AVERAGED $400 PER DAY in animal related costs such as: food, enclosure cleaning and maintenance. With approximately 80 animal ambassadors living at the ranch, the cost to care for our animals continues to increase.

Your support is vital to the success of our mission

Please help Rescue Ranch as we continue to offer vital community services, like the care we provide for our animal ambassadors and for the children who come through our doors as a part of our education programs and services.

A gift of any amount will save the lives of animals in need and provide the medical care they desperately deserve. Additionally, donations support the critical education programs which help promote humane treatment of all animals as well as the importance or responsible pet ownership.

As part of our Year End Campaign, we want to share the giving with you. If you donate $50 or more, you will be entered into a drawing for a pet basket and other items that value over $500.00. Items include: Pet bed, pet toys and a Rescue Ranch VIP Tour for up to 6 attendees.

All of us at Rescue Ranch are wishing you and your family a very Happy Holiday season!
