My Nonprofit Reviews

“The Ranch” not only saves the life’s of our 4 pups, their actions in turn have positivity changes the life’s of humans as well..

The late Vincent Phillip passed away in April 2015 I swore no more dogs, can’t do it anymore. Within a month I asked Andy to show me photos of 3 schnauzers at which time I’d choose. That I did. In June 2015 Bernadette and I took a road trip from Florida to The Ranch to pick up my boy Salvador Peter who last a wonderful handsome boy that fills my heart everyday. To all those involved with caring for and loving these kids deserve all the praise in the world.

It gives me great pleasure in writing a testimony lifting the " Andy Politte Schnauzer Ranch" and Marcia Welton to the highest standards exceeding my expectations.
Late 2014 I added Andy Politte Schnauzer Ranch and Marcia to my friend group on Facebook, April 2015 I lost a Schnauzer due to a combination of age and illness. Of course as all Schnauzer loves do, I posted my loss to the page. I was torn about getting another Marcia sent her condolences as did Andy did as well as countless others. Weeks went by, I was missing Vincent more and more everyday. Being I was receiving a severance from my employer I had the time but not the funds at the time. While contemplating do I or don't get another. Well once a Schnauzer lover always a lover. I messaged Andy asked to send me photos of 3 Schnauzers I can choose from. Puff.. I choose "Boston" who Marcia rescued in Texas and Andy relocated him to Missouri. Weeks later I got the funds together, rented a car, Bernadette (a Schnauzer I had with Vincent) and I took a road trip from Jacksonville Florida to Bonne Terra, Missouri the end of June..
Bernadette and I arrived on the 27th. I was welcomed by many mustaches, pointed and floppy ears with plenty of Schnauzer barks.. I was in heaven.
"Boston" was renamed to Salvador. The 3 of us continued on our road trip of 5100 miles. We returned to Jacksonville, we all settled in within a week. Today Salvador is just as wonderful as the other Schnauzers I've adopted, 7 in total.
When I returned to Florida, I forwarded a link of The Ranch to a friend of mine, she was so impressed in turn she asked me for the address of The Ranch to send a donation which she did in honor of Salvador to thank all those involved with The Ranch.
Months later I fell on hard times as I injured myself on the job and couldn't work. While Workers Compensation takes forever to sort out, I reached out to Andy for assistance, in turn he was extremely generous purchased multiple large bags of food and a brush. Weeks later I personally was low on funds I reached out to Marcia who also was gracious and sent me a $300 check, and offered me more weeks later to ensure I and the kids were ok.. On top of the food, cash and the brush, Andy also offered and insisted he take care of Salvador and Bernadette's next haircut.
After realizing I will never be the same again I filed for Social Security Disability which can take years to resolve. As of today it's been about 2 years and counting. My days are very routine and Salvador and Bernadette both know what our days are like; spending the day together as a family, waiting for Social Security to be approved so that I may head back to Missouri or even Texas for a third.
I was thrilled writhing the testimony on behalf on The Ranch and Marcia Welton. I am blessed to know them and have them in our lives. Should there be any questions I may answer, please feel free to contact me directly.
Respectfully yours,
