We started Ranch Hand Rescue because we realized there was a growing need to save farm animals from neglect and starvation; we never realized the need was so great.
The current state of the economy has many people in a financial bind and unable to care for their animals, this has resulted in a record number of seizures by law enforcement agencies. Ranch Hand Rescue works with Law Enforcement and the Courts to save farm animals that are about to be seized or have been seized for abuse & neglect. We take the animals no one else will rather than leave them to be euthanized.
While thousands of animal shelters in the US are designed for cats and dogs, only a small handful of such facilities are capable of sheltering farm animals, that's where we come in.
Our objective is to get these animals healthy and adopt them into loving homes. In special cases we will adopt the animal into our Sanctuary and they will live here at the resort for the remainder of their lives. The animals we keep at our Sanctuary in Argyle all have a specific story. We are often asked, why a Sanctuary and a Rescue? The Ranch Hand Rescue Sanctuary and all animal sanctuaries are an end, finally, to all forms of abuse and exploitation for the animals in their care. For these animals, whose profound losses can never be regained... sanctuaries are the line in the sand that says: Never again. It is over. You are safe now. At last.
