Review for Triple R Horse Rescue Of Arizona, Cave Creek, AZ, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

I’ve volunteered at The Luv Shack Ranch for over three years helping with keeping the ranch clean to helping out at the different events that Luv Shack is involved in. I have also been on the Board of Directors for the last two years.

It is a wonderful organization. I’ve had the opportunity to witness many horses coming in malnourished, scared and hurt and later leaving after most of the healing, to go to their “forever” home to complete it. I’ve also had the misfortune to see some animals come in that were so far gone, nothing could be done for them. The compassion given to these horses in their last few hours was hard to watch but wonderful to see.

I’ve seen healing happening between horses and the children who have come into contact with them. It is something you don’t forget. The frowns from the kids that become smiles and laughter. The anger and distrust gone, if even for just a few hours.
