A Memoriam to a great lady I loved: Delores (Deedee) Morales, who loved precious animals and championed their souls. Her passing this week reminded me again of my own mom, whose concerns at the end of her life were also her beloved senior pets. Deedee would be smiling to know that a gift to The Kindness Ranch means her love of animals is being shared to help the unique mission of The Kindness Ranch rescue poor lab research animals - giving them joy and helping them to finally get the love and life they should have always had. Hopefully one day, there will be no more research on loving creatures. We will all miss you Deedee.
What a GREAT organization!!! We adopted a 1 yr old beagle names Cinderella AKA Ella. We couldn't be happier and neither could she! We are so glad we found Kindness Ranch to get our new family member. Please keep them in mind for your next pet, or donation.
We bacame familiar with Kindness Ranch when we adopted our first retired research Beagle Moose. The staff really took the time to understand which dog would fit best with our family. After adopting Moose, we really did our research about animal testing that takes place in the US and have become a cruelty free household.
Since then, we have adopted another beagle from Kindness. She was not nearly as adjusted as Moose. She was three years old, afraid of all people and had never lived outside of her cage. She needed a lot of patience and love. She has come a long way since then.
If not for places like Kindness Ranch, animals like money would have been euthanized after their testing period was completed. These animals need a place like Kindness to find them homes so they can know love and trust in their lives. And that they are not just products to be used and tossed away.
Adopting Moose and Luna has changed my life in so many ways. But more importantly, it has changed theirs.
Thank you Kindness for the very important work you do!
Lovely surroundings and great yurt/cabins to rent so that you can stay at the Sanctuary and participate in interacting with the animals. Mary Miles is one of the best Animal Caregivers I've ever met. Her tireless efforts working with the animals, and ensuring they have a safe, clean environment in which to live and grow is remarkable. She's the type of caregiver you wish you could clone....high energy, high integrity and tremendous compassion. It's staff like Mary that makes Kindness Ranch a wonderful place for former lab animals to become rehabilitated. Kindness Ranch does great work!
I love the mission of this charity-- to provide rehabilitation and a loving environment for former laboratory animals. Through their newsletter, they show us ways that they are diplomatically negotiating the release of animals from labs (animals, who, would normally been killed when the research concluded) and their recovery process, which often culminates in an adoption into a loving home. They support a range of farm animals and domestic pets. They are a smaller organization that seems to be run conscientiously. There is not a lot of wasted money on marketing materials. I also appreciate that the newsletter does not overwhelm the reader with horrific images of animals in distress. This is a wonderful group of people working to help animals who are not on most people's radars, but are going through great suffering to serve people's needs.
I had been watching their website for several months and was finally ready to adopt another Beagle so a friend and I drove up to the ranch and looked at all the beagles they had. I decided on a little boy and filled out the paper work and drove home. Best decision I have made in a long time. He was shy at first everything scared him but he has come along nicely and is doing well some noises still bother him but he is getting better. I would recommend anyone looking to adopt they make the trip up to Kindness Ranch the drive will be worth your while
This is the only place that rescues animals from labs when they are done testing with them. They get new homes, are re habilitated and given a new lease on the rest of their lives
I have been contributing to Kindness Ranch for a number of years and am constantly amazed by the wonderful rescue work that they do providing animals with a place to stay until they can find forever homes. If you are looking for a worthwhile organization to donate to, I highly recommend Kindness Ranch!
I transport rescue animals throughout the Midwest. I had the opportunity during a transport to visit Kindness Ranch last year. I was amazed at what I witnessed. Every volunteer showed so much kindness & compassion to the animals!
I loved Kindness Ranch so much, I'm making a detour after a transport next week to visit again!
I'm attaching a link to an album I created last year during my stay- please take a look!
