Rikki's is a place where animals with few other options can find a home. They are a life sanctuary for the physically, emotionally and socially challenged animals that need more help than the typical animal refuge can provide.
The volunteers and staff care very much for the animals. I have met some great animal people there, not to mention some great animals. Vincent (spokescat) and Duke (spokesdog) are both handicapped, but don't let their physical circumstances keep them from being absolute charmers. It is a good place.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Seeing how grateful people are when they find a place for their needy animals. For example, Rikki's is rare it that it takes in cats with feline leukemia. Typical shelters would just euthanize them, due to the nature of the illness. Rikki's lets them enjoy the brief time they have and gives their former owners some peace if they're forced to give them up.

Give it a whole lot of money. Being in animal rescue is stressful enough just dealing with people and animals. Try to do it on a shoestring is a road to burnout. Pets need all the supporters they can get and the people who are pet supporters need some breathing room and TLC.
If God were to create a type of Eden for the animals with broken bones, tearful hearts, and down-trodden spirits, where their bodies and souls could be healed, I think that Rikki's Rescue might be that place. Rikki's is sanctuary for ALL the forgotten and lost animals.
The people who work for these animals are the most kind hearted and hard working individuals that I have met. They can do so much with their limited resources. Truly, Rikki's Refuge is a Miracle of Love. It has even healed quite a few human hearts!

What places like Rikki's Refuge do for so many homeless & unwanted animals is indispensable, fighting against the odds & going to financial extremes to save these helpless creatures is a true measure of a modern, caring society. Bless them for all they do.

My husband and I visited Rikki's for their Christmas Day tour. Having two rescue dogs ourselves, it was an amazing place to see unwanted animals having a place to go. The people that run Rikki's have given these animals a home that they would otherwise not have. We will definitely return in the future.

Give them more money to continue to take in unwanted animals and support the ones that are there.
