The Luv Shack Ranch
Horse (and Donkey) Rescue
Our Mission Statement The Luv Shack Ranch Horse Rescue is a non-profit,
all volunteer organization dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of abused, neglected and slaughter bound horses with the ultimate goal of finding each animal a loving, forever home.
Additionally, we are committed to creating therapeutic programs for at risk children to help them heal from similar circumstances.
Our goal is to serve the community by providing the opportunity for the horse and children to heal one another physically, mentally and emotionally.
