a SUPER AMAZING Volunteer who is always willing to pitch in

“Why The Ranch?? I’ve always tried to volunteer in my spare time and The Ranch is the perfect place for me!! I love dogs!! I love how sweet they can be. I love how they can tell when you’ve had a bad day. I love how just a dog snuggle can make you feel better. I love how a quick walk with them is good for both of us!! I love how a game of fetch or laying in a hole they just dug makes them so happy! I love doggie kisses!! No matter their previous circumstances these senior dogs love unconditionally and deserve the same for the remainder of their time. Seeing these dogs leave The Ranch to their new FURever homes makes me happy that I played a small part by volunteering.”
