At The Last Chance Ranch, the name says it all. We are a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue, licensed through Washington State and Stevens County. Our mission is to save animals who have nowhere else to go—strays, shelter dogs at risk of euthanasia, and owner surrenders who have been turned away by every other option.

These are the animals who’ve been given up on. The sick, the injured, the fearful—the ones that need someone to believe in them again. We step up when others don’t, because we believe every animal deserves a second chance at life, love, and safety.

The calls and messages never stop. People, and even other rescues, reach out asking for help. I answer those calls whenever I can, because this is more than a rescue—this is my life’s passion. I work tirelessly to be the voice for those who can’t speak for themselves.

Located on 17 acres, LCR offers a safe and secure haven. The dogs enjoy ¼ to ½ acre fenced play yards, complete with cozy dog houses, fresh straw bedding, and raised cots in warmer months. Indoors, they sleep on plush beds and are surrounded by love. Every morning, they receive food topped with fresh-boiled chicken and broth, and throughout the day they enjoy treats like freeze-dried liver and chicken feet.

They are given more than shelter—they receive veterinary care, training, socialization, and affection. They are family.

In the past year alone, we have rescued and rehomed over 76 dogs. Every single one is a rescue. We do not breed. All dogs are spayed or neutered and fully vaccinated before adoption. For those too young at the time of adoption, a contract ensures they are fixed when old enough—and if an adopter can no longer care for their dog, they must return them to us. No exceptions.

Every animal that passes through The Last Chance Ranch takes a piece of my heart with them. I will never give up on them—no matter how long it takes. I will continue to advocate, to rescue, and to fight for them. They are not disposable. Every life matters. And they all deserve better.
