Three Ring Ranch, Inc.

Norm & Ann Goody are genuinely interested in the welfare of every single animal in their sanctuary, big and small. They have helped many injured animals and have the professional skills necessary to use the correct treatments, procedures and medicines. They have released the ones that have had a complete recovery back into habitat where they came from. Some of the animals can never be released and remain on the property in safe and clean conditions. This takes a tremendous amount of dedication and hard work. They have taught others how to respect wildlife and have worked with the community and schools to educate children and adults about what is best for animals. This ongoing project is a living work of art and if anyone has the opportunity to visit and donate or just donate, I highly recommend it as a worthy cause. Mary Lovein

When I first went to the Sanctuary I did not expect the variety of animals who lived their lives on site. There are so many creatures all living in harmony. I was motivated to help and become a regular patron.

After have been helping out the Three Ring Ranch for 6 months and seeing their work up close everyday, I can with confidence say that they're doing an AMAZING JOB!

With great love, care and with tremendous knowledge Three Ring Ranch could not give the animals a better life.

To be given this money the sanctuary could do so much more, teach the community about the animals and continue to give these critters a great life.

I am proud to have been a part of this and I hope the santuary will live on for a long time and be able to continue their important role in these animals life.

The Three Ring Ranch does an amazing job working with wildlife and the community in Hawaii. They provide invaluable services that would not exist without them. There have been numerous birds and other animals that they have saved and a tremendous number of humans who they have influenced positively through their programs in the community and teaching at the Ranch. I have the upmost respect for all that Ann and Norman have accomplished.

The Three Ring Ranch is a terrific wildlife sanctuary and an excellent resource for information. I'm a rehabber on the island of Maui and sometimes I receive an animal that I'm not familiar with. On numerous occasions Ann Goody has offered her advice and patiently walked me through difficult rehabilitation steps. The Three Ring Ranch is the best wildlife organization we have in Hawaii. They are knowledgeable, professional, and willing to share information with others.

When I graduated from high school, instead of handing me the keys to a new car, my parents handed me the opportunity to volunteer at Three Ring Ranch. I had first heard about the ranch my sophomore year in high school, but being to young to be involved in any of the college programs I had to wait, so this opportunity was the most exciting thing I had ever received. I spent 2 weeks working with and learning from Ann Goody and can confidently say that she is a unique and special person with the most fantastic sanctuary, a place safe for animals and a safe place of learning for people. I have never seen a place so wild with so much care put into the well being of these beautiful and exotic creatures anywhere else. I volunteer at the zoo, I've worked in animal clinics, but The Three Ring Ranch is uniquely pure in its intent to care for animals and pass on the knowledge about them to others.
Three Ring Ranch runs only on donations, but Ann and Norm Goody do an amazing job in making sure the care for the animals is the best of the best. Whether the animal is a permanent resident, being rehabilitated for re-release, a mouse, a monkey, or a blonde zebra, you can bet that they are in the care of their strongest advocate.
Since my first volunteering experience, I have gone back to Three Ring Ranch to help build new facilities for incoming animals, and I hope to return again to work on whatever project Ann and Norm need done!

I was fortunate enough to go to the Three Ring Ranch with my parents, I had been to The Big Island several times and if I had known about this facility I would have been honored to be a volunteer on any of my previous trips (the beach wasn't going anywhere!). Immediately I was impressed by the love and care given to each and every creature lucky enough to rehabilitate for hopeful release or those who need a home.
The fact this is solely run on donations says so much about the true mission of this facility. Ann and Norm Goody want to make a change in the way we all see the creatures around us all. The educational program is an excellent way for all of us to learn what we can do to help animals of all shapes and sizes, and that does include our bird friends.
One of my all time favorite pictures is of Ann with Zoe, true love for all. I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to experience The Three Ring Ranch!
See you next time I am on the Island!

Three Ring Ranch is an amazing blessing to the animal kingdom. The experience of the care taker Ann Goody is exceptional and rare to come by. These animals are so lucky to live on the ranch, they could not find a better home and provider. I have visited the ranch twice for week long stays as a volunteer, once in 1999, and once in 2010. I was truly amazed to see the growth and hard work put into the ranch. Ana and Norm Goody are truly dedicated to the ranch and give it all they have. The love and emotion between the animals and Ana is unbelive and you can see how thankful they truly are. Anyone who visits the ranch or even sits down for a conversation with Ana will not walk away unimpacted. The knowledge you recive is top knotch and accurate, proven by the sucess these injured or abused animal have made.

I came with a friend for a tour and was not expecting such a clean and well run place. Wow, looks like these people work 24/7 to care for the animals and teach visitors. We will come back each year to see what's new.

three ring ranch is a wonderful organization. Ann and Norm Goody are dedicated individuals who put their own needs aside to rescue, rehabilitate and release ( when needed)and care for the animals of this sanctuary as well as educate children and adults on animals and our environment The service they provide to these creatures and to our environment are 24/7,which is obviously not an easy task physically and financially. The Goody's and all the volunteers love this mission and carry it out beautifully. I had the opportunity to work with Ann many years ago in the health field and I know she left an excellent career to take on this self-less challenge. I no longer live in that community but I follow 3RR on its website. It is a very deserving organization.

3 RR is fabulous in 3 ways: they do outstanding scientific research in exotic animal care, they rehab and care for exotic and endangered animals and they educate the public on the care of the earth and how important these animals are to all of us! The world would be a much worse place without them!

I have been a volunteer at Three Ring Ranch for 3 years and cannot wait for the days I go in to help. To be there getting to know all of the animals and socializing with them is incredibly rewarding. I don't know how Ann and Norm do it because this is absolutely a 24/7/365 endeavor. Many of the birds that have been captured, rehabilitated, and released have flown back to this place on their own many days later. They know how great it is to be able to trust.

This is a terrific organization where animals, reptiles and birds of all types receive top notch care and love. Three Ring Ranch's commitment, passion, knowledge, enthusiasm and proven results are impressive and admirable. They give back immeasurably to the community in terms of service and education, and the world is a better place now and for countless future generations.

I just recently had the opportunity to tour Three Rings Ranch. Ann and her organization do fantastic work with injured animals. It was a pleasure to spend time with her showing us around her facility. The variety of animals she takes care of and the care is they show is extraordinary.

I am a Board Member and I never cease to be amazed at Ann's and the volunteers' work, dedication, caring and results of the sanctuary. Ann has an uncanny gift of understanding animals. She always knows what to do and how to do it.

Three Ring Ranch is a wonderful outfit that rescues, rehabilitates and returns injured wildlife to their natural habitat. They also provide a home for animals that can't be returned to the wild. They teach children about the importance of wildlife. All of this is done in the spirit of freely giving of oneself. You have to look far and wide to find another place such as this. I have visited the sanctuary many times, and I have watched it grow under the passionate direction of its curator, Ann Goody. I marvel at her energy and expertise. I am particularly impressed with the way animals thrive under her care.

Three Ring Ranch Animal Sanctuary has been my passion for the past five years. Working to preserve endangered wildlife has had a profound impact on shaping who I am today. The opportunity to work with exotic and endangered animals gave me an understanding of our world’s intricate and delicate balance. The clinic provides services for low income pet owners who's animals would other wise be uncared-for. In addition the Mobile Clinic addresses the feral cat population that is decimating Hawaii’s endangered species population. I have had the amazing opportunity to work side-by-side as the surgical assistant with visiting veterinarians.

Three Ring Ranch has been a wonderful volunteer opportunity for my daughter for three years. She has learned a lot about animals and about taking care of them and has acquired valuable leadership skills. She is now teaching new volunteers. Three Ring Ranch is an important part of her life.

I volunteered at Three Ring Ranch to learn anything about any type of animal. This ranch has provided such an open understanding knowledge to each animal and volunteer that works there. They not only take care of the animals, they put out such a love and kindness with every individual one. Three Ring Ranch is educational and teaches you everything about an animal and what they are like as well. Putting you in the position of the animal, and what the animal would expect from there care owner. Thus making them the most understanding ranch of all, to all animals. Each animal is so well taken care of and helped with, with such hope. No ranch can compare to Three Ring Ranch! They inspired me to become a veterinarian to provide as much care they do to animals I can care to!

I have been a volunteer at the Three Ring Ranch for about three years or so. It has been such a joy for me to be a part of such and amazing place. I have been witness to the painstaking recovery process some of the injured wild animals have to go through before being able to be released. I am amazed at the love and dedication Ann has for every creature in her care. I certainly don't know many people willing to spend many nights sleeping next to an injured sea bird, attending to it's needs throughout the night. But that is who Ann is and what makes this place such an incedibly special place. And a true gift for the animals who are lucky enough to find their way to the sanctuary when they are in need of help.

Three Ring Ranch is one of the most deserving and unusual organizations on the island of Hawaii. Visiting this place will leave you with a new appreciation for the resident animals which are being lovingly nursed back to health. Ann, the director of Three Ring Ranch, has unending loving energy and the sense of humor needed for this endeavor. A visit to this place will make a memorable and rewarding experience.

The Three Ring Ranch is both home to exotic animals and a place where injured wildlife come for rehabilitation. The children who come to the educational programs leave with a sense of wonder about the natural world. I have seen children who lack respect for animals and eachother become leaders while here for 12 weeks afterschool. Volunteering here is a great way to spend a day.
