Who We Are
The Ranch Hands Rescue farm animal sanctuary provides rehabilitation and a safe haven for horses and livestock suffering from the worst cases of abuse and neglect. Rescued farm animals are given love and purpose in a peaceful, happy environment and are integrated into our Equine and Animal Assisted Counseling program to support people recovering from trauma.
The Ranch Hands Rescue counseling center is a unique place of healing, where people suffering from severe or multiple traumas experience transformative change. Compassionate licensed counselors provide a range of effective treatments, including EMDR and TBRI therapies. Our Equine and Animal Assisted Counseling program also helps children and adults build relationships with critical care animals, fostering mutual trust and nurturing recovery.
Bob’s House of Hope at Ranch Hands Rescue is the nation’s first safe house for young adult male survivors of sex trafficking. Built on safety and community, our facility meets the individual needs of its residents and includes RHR’s innovative Equine and Animal Assisted Counseling intervention.
Ranch Hands Rescue's is a human and animal sanctuary founded on hope and healing for the long term recovery of trauma victims, special needs animals, and male survivors of sex trafficking.

1. Our biggest financial need is funding for mental health counseling. We provide scholarship funds for children, teens, adults, and Veterans suffering from the trauma of repetitive physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. To date, RHR has helped over 1,800 individuals achieve hope and healing from the ravages of complex trauma. Our program has produced clinically significant symptom severity reduction for an industry-leading 89% of clients. Your donation makes it possible for these innocent victims to receive the mental health programming that they need for recovery.
2. Both monetary and in kind donations also go a long way in the safe house. We regularly need household items like toilet paper, sanitizing wipes, and hand soap, as well as healthy food, exercise gear, and all the things a young person needs to live a fulfilling life. Gift cards are a HUGE help with this, along with fulfilling items on our wish list (https://a.co/0rhwbV5).
3. Next, the care and feeding of our special needs therapy animals is an ongoing cost that your one-time, monthly, and in-kind donations help maintain. Our animals rely on your support just like our counseling clients. In kind needs by item: hay, livestock feed, dog/cat food, scratch feed, bleach, masks, exam gloves, hand sanitizer, sanitizing wipes/spray, paper towels, vet wrap, kitty litter, and horse bedding. A more complete list can be found on our wish list (https://a.co/6XB0eGN)
At Ranch Hands Rescue, we acknowledge and honor the fundamental value and dignity of all individuals, both human and animal. Our staff and volunteers pledge ourselves to creating and maintaining an environment that respects diverse traditions, heritages, and experiences of all involved with our agency.
