RESCUE RANCH TEMPORARILY CLOSED
In accordance with the Governor of North Carolina’s Executive Order 117 and the CDC Guidelines, Rescue Ranch will be closed to the public beginning March 26 to help limit the spread of COVID-19 in North Carolina.
This decision does not come easy, but the health and safety of our staff, visitors, volunteers and interns is paramount. Rest assured we are still providing the best care for our animal ambassadors and will keep all of you updated on what they are doing via our social media channels.
We thank all of you for your understanding and wish all of you peace and wisdom in this time of uncertainty.

Our Mission
Rescue Ranch promotes, through its education, respect for all animals, as well as agricultural, environmental, and wildlife conservation, and facilitates rehabilitation, rescue, and responsible pet ownership in order to enhance the human-animal bond.
At Rescue Ranch we receive no government funding. Without the tireless support of our volunteers and your financial contributions we cannot make a positive difference in the lives of people and pets. Your tax deductible gift in any amount will support our programs and services.
