Review for Journeys End Ranch Animal Sanctuary, Kingman, AZ, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Cathy Ritlaw has created the most wonderful sanctuary for terribly abused animals most of whom are at the end of their lives. Abused horses, burros and dogs that are lucky to find their way to this healing place will be treated with respect and love for the rest of their lives but I know it isn't easy. Cathy spends entire days caring for and helping animals of all kinds through social networking efforts and stepping in to help personally when all hope seems to be lost for these fur babies. She is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to veterinary and holistic care for the animals and has a great network of friends and advisors who are happy to donate their time and energy to help with her efforts. This is one of the most deserving rescue organizations I have ever encountered and fully support their efforts to help animals close to home and all over the country through networking and other means. They also address the growing problem of elderly animals that are abandoned or dumped into shelters by owners who do not want to deal with the medical and/or psychological needs of older animals. Her sanctuary should serve as inspiration for other rescuers who want to help elderly, abused animals in their community. I hope your organization will honor Cathy Ritlaw and the Journeys End Ranch Animal Sanctuary with spot on your 2012 Top Rated list to help her continue the incredible work she is doing as well as help so many animals in need.

Review for Alder Hill Farm, Walnut Grove, MO, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Alder Hill Farm is run by a wonderful group of people who truly address the best interests of the animals that find their way to this shelter. They have had many successful placements and it is so much fun to watch as they bring these horses in and help them all through Facebook status updates and photos. It is such an inspiring group that I've even donated a few dollars here and there to help with transport of an animal. They certainly deserve to win that $5,000 which will help so many more animals.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

watching the horses come in so sad and depressed in some cases and leaving with a whole new lease on life to a great new home.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

can't think of anything.

Role:  Client Served & I've donated to their efforts.
