You will know that a person is a Mentor Volunteer as this will be noted under their name on the sign up. They will show you around and get you acquainted with The Ranch. We ask that all new Volunteers sign up with a Mentor for the first Daily Chores time slot, first Feeding Time and first Bedtime/Lock-Up time slot.

All Volunteers under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian when at The Ranch. The minimum age to volunteer at The Ranch is 6 years old.

We suggest that all Volunteers be at least 10 years of age to participate in a Feeding Time. If you have any questions about volunteering, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator at vicki.imaginefureverranch@gmail.com

A poop receptacle has been placed at the back door of The Lodge. Please dispose of ALL poop in this can, poop from walks in bags & scooped poop from the yards. This can must always have a trash bag in it.

All individuals MUST be 16 years of age or older to administer any medications to the pups.

When you arrive to volunteer please make sure ALL pups go out to potty first. This is particularly important for the 8 AM time slot. ALL pups MUST be let out / taken out to potty BEFORE any meds or food are given.

Unfortunately, the Amazon Smile program is being discontinued in February.

OUR VISION is to provide an environment where people and animals flourish in an atmosphere filled with kindness, openness, and loving hearts.

Mission Statement

OUR MISSION is to promote the loving & humane treatment of people and animals through education, advocacy, and services. OUR GOAL is to provide senior dogs a safe, loving, and healthy environment through rescue efforts, adoption, and lifelong care if needed.

For Our Dogs | We strive to find loving homes for each of our canine residents through foster homes, adoption, and if needed, a FURever home at our ranch. All dogs will be treated humanely and with the best possible emotional and medical care available. All dogs will be vaccinated and spayed/neutered prior to adoption.

For Our People | We support God’s work by “ministry through action.” We provide a loving, safe gathering place to volunteer and care for our dogs, as well as to relax, attend self-help events, pray, play games, enjoy outdoor play areas, attend yoga classes, enjoy live music & food & wine events, and of course to love on our DOGGOS! Once a waiver is signed, all people are welcome to use the ranch during our operating hours at no cost .

Have you ever considered fostering one of the Ranch Pups?

The Ranch would like to form a group of Short-Term, Temporary, Medical & Hospice Fosters.

Would you be interested in such a duty? The Pups would be so grateful!

OR are you interested in becoming a “regular” Foster Family for one of the amazing Ranch Pups?
