Meet Tote, Animal Ambassador

Last Updated 6/24/2025Posted in Homepage, Ambassadors


Tote was very much loved and spoiled in his previous home! Unfortunately, his person had become highly allergic to him and was unable to spend time with him the way she wanted to.

Tote came in just a couple days apart from Shyanne, another new arrival and  they quickly bonded. Shyanne is on the shyer side, whereas Tote is the total opposite! They are often found grazing alongside one another or basking in the sun on the platform that they have claimed as their own.

So the next time you come to the Ranch for a tour, birthday party or field trip, be sure to keep an eye out for these two and save a handful of feed for them!
