Sponsors play a huge part in keeping Ranger's Refuge going, and we're so honored to have each and every of our sponsors. 

Sponsors make committed, monthly donations towards the upkeep of a particular animal. This includes food, water, and shelter- all of this taken care of thanks to our sponsors, and you don't even need to get your boots muddy! 

You can sponsor an animal for yourself,  as a birthday or other gift for a loved one, or in memory of a special animal lover in your life.

What Your Donation Does

Support our sanctuary

As a non-profit, we are entirely supported by grants & donations from generous people like you. We could not do what we do for the animals if not for your kind gifts.


Thank you, from both the humans & the animals who call Ranger's Refuge a home, for your support of our sanctuary.

Since moving to the new farm, we've been working hard:

  • Profit's Place, our memorial to Profit the Pig, was built as a holding space where pigs from local animal shelters may find sanctuary until going to their forever homes
  • Fenced four 5-acre horse pastures
  • Fenced 10 acres for cows and therapy mini horses
  • Fenced 7 acres and installed two large barns for rescued pigs 
  • 10 acres of board fence for horses
  • Fenced .5 acre and refurbished barn for goats
  • Created special needs barn for pigs: fully insulated, gently sloping ramps, HVAC, flat ground
  • Built run-in shed for rabbits, chickens, and goats (adjacent to proposed Children's Barn where Humane Education with permanent exhibit will take place)

But we aren't done yet!
