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. Bob’s House of Hope provides a home built on safety and community to meet the unique needs of male survivors of sex trafficking and special needs animals that have been severely abused or neglected.
We Need You Now More Than Ever
For nearly 2 decades, Ranch Hands Rescue has accomplished what many believed was impossible—bringing hope, healing, and restoration to survivors of trauma, human trafficking and the rescuing of special needs animals.
Today, we are entering our most critical chapter yet.
We have opened our new Transitional Living Home for boys and girls, ages 14–17.
These vulnerable youth are coming to us with nothing but the clothes on their backs. They need more than a safe place to sleep—they need the opportunity to rebuild their lives.
Your support will provide:
Safe, secure shelter
Nutritious meals
Medical and dental care
Trauma-informed counseling
Education and tutoring
Clothing and hygiene essentials
Life skills and workforce readiness
Transportation
Recreation and enrichment opportunities
The need has never been greater. Child sex trafficking and online exploitation continue to rise at alarming rates. Texas faces a critical shortage of emergency and transitional housing for exploited youth.
Boys remain one of the most underserved populations, while the need for both boys and girls continues to grow.
Every day, children are rescued from unimaginable abuse. Every day, they need a place where they can feel safe, begin healing, and believe in tomorrow.
You can change a child's future.
Your gift will help ensure that no child or special needs animal is turned away because we lack the resources to meet their most basic needs.
Together, we can provide safety, stability, healing, and hope to children and animals who have endured the unimaginable.
Please stand with Ranch Hands Rescue and Bob's House of Hope today.
Because every child and special needs animal deserves:
A safe place to call home.
A chance to heal.
A future filled with hope.
Every gift changes a life. Our children and animals who cannot advocate for themselves deserve a second chance.
1. Our greatest need right now is funding to expand life-saving services for minors in our new transitional living home with enhanced case management. These kids have survived sexual assault, trauma, physical abuse or trafficking. Your gift can open the door to safety, healing, and hope.
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://ranchhandsrescue.org/wish-list/
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://ranchhandsrescue.org/wish-list/
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.
