Ron and Lorelei Pulliam are the proprietors of Ranger's Refuge at Gallastar and Gallastar Therapy & Tutoring. We also rely on dedicated volunteers and donors - if you'd like to join us, we'd love to hear from you!
Since 1994, Ranger's Refuge at Gallastar has been a center for animal rescue that has specialized in serving young people with cognitive and emotional difficulties.
Ranger's Refuge is the animal sanctuary arm of Gallastar Therapy & Tutoring. With a main focus on pigs, it is currently home to almost 200 animals. We aim to give each and every one of them a forever home and to build a future where no animal is ever brought into the world to be unwanted or exploited.
We are proud to share with you a rescue success story, made possible by the incredible volunteers and sponsors of Rangers Rescue:
In the summer of 2019, we were alerted to a family of horses that needed immediate rescue. Yellow Jacket, who is half Mustang and half Chincoteague pony, his partner Seen, and their baby Pearl, were all in need of rescue when their former owners needed to sell their farm & move. Desperate for help, the family posted the horses "free to a good home." Unfortunately, in many cases, these animals end up on the slaughter line. We couldn't let that happen.
Fortunately, the whole family was rescued by Ranger's Refuge just in time. Yellow Jacket was able to be rescued first. After fundraising for a run-in shed & organizing transport, Pearl & her mother quickly followed him to the sanctuary by August. Now the entire family is reunited in their forever home, living a full and happy life in their own private pasture.
This successful rescue would not have been possible without our generous sponsors. Click the button below to find out how you can become a sponsor today!
