Compassion Ranch is a nonprofit program with land used by the animals donated by Triple D Ranch & Farm. On some records and maps the property is listed as Triple D Ranch and Farm or Life Leaders Institute and Ranch, which is the host 501 c3 nonprofit providing three programs–Compassion Ranch, Life Leadership, and Patriotism in Action.
How and when to visit:
We host visitors by appointment. The front gate stays closed most of the time because rescued dogs often run and play in the front corral. Horses come in to graze the grass at times. And, we could be working on projects so appointments help us be on site ready for you.
We host guests most often in the afternoon. We usually work in the office 7-3 p.m. and outside 3-7 p.m. for projects, chores, care and feeding, then social media posts and replies to people. Tell us what works and we will try to accommodate.
What we do and don’t do:
Compassion Ranch stands for compassionate care of animals and character traits of students developing courage, patriotism, and compassion.
A few things we stand against by not allowing on the property include drugs, smoking, hunting, or not following rules for animal and human safety.
Re-homing and helping animals
If you have a need, or have an animal in need, please do not drive here unannounced to arrive at the gate expecting us to take your animal. In addition to being full with 40 animals requiring all we have plus donations, we are not a rescue. We are a sanctuary giving homes for life to our 40 plus an education center helping students, families, and teachers.
Your best options may be to call/write to nonprofits with missions to rescue and foster or adopt to new forever homes. They usually focus on types of animals such as dogs or even breeds. Put photos and info about your animal on a page you can send by email and give to others. The info can get copied and pasted into social media posts and web site for the rescues. The info can describe needs and where the animals could fit plus your desired outcomes and contact info.
