VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT - WHAT IS YOUR ‘WHY’ FOR THE RANCH ?
The Fulps Family serves the pups together on a regular basis Our family first learned about IFR at our neighborhood BBQ charity event. Our daughters begged us to go volunteer. So, we made plans to go as a “Spring Break Activity.” Our family (especially the girls) fell in love and before we even left the ranch on our first visit, they were asking when we would be coming back! Needless to say, the ranch quickly turned into a regular part of our family schedule. Three out of five of our family members are allergic to animal dander with one being asthmatic. Thus, we don’t have any dogs at home. Spending time at the ranch gives us all our “doggie-fix” and allows us an awesome and unique way to serve as a family.

IT’S GOING TO GET HOT AGAIN!!! With the temperatures forecasted to be very high, please keep the pups in the grass (the concrete and asphalt get VERY hot), and only take them out if necessary. If the pups have direct access to the yard, just let them out for a quick spin around the yard, let them do their business and take them back inside for a long drink of water.
*************************************************************************************************************************************
FOSTER FAMILIES SAVE LIVES !!! Have you ever considered fostering one of the Ranch Pups? https://imaginefureverranch.org/become-a-foster-dog-parent/ Guenther at The Ranch, and Guenther in his Foster Home We do absolutely everything possible for these wonderful pups at The Ranch; we give them all the love and care that we can.
