Rescue Ranch is a humane education center in the heart of Iredell County, NC that provides sanctuary and permanent residency to more than 80 rescued animals. These animals all have a story to share as they came to the Ranch from situations like neglect, hoarding, or owner surrender. They are affectionately known as Rescue Ranch’s animal ambassadors; and are an integral component of our humane education programs. Our educational programs incorporate hands-on learning to support our mission of promoting compassion and respect for all animals. We specialize in humane education programs for youth and families. We offer camps, field trips, and more! Our programs are designed to educate individuals on responsible pet ownership, empathy and compassion for animals. We pride ourselves on hands-on encounters with animals to learn why we must be the voice for animals. Since our inception in 2012, we have educated more than 35,000 people through our educational programs.  Please support Rescue Ranch with a donation to help us with all the expenses related to caring for our animals, including food, medical/veterinary and other supplemental expenses.  Our animals thank you!!
