Kindness Ranch Animal Sanctuary We are a 1,000 acre animal sanctuary in Wyoming - Giving Former Research Animals A Future. Contact us today to find out how you can get involved!

All of the animals at Kindness Ranch Animal Sanctuary have previously been used in, or were destined to be used in, laboratory research. We have a small but hardworking staff, all of who live on site to provide the animals with the best possible hands-on care. Some of our experienced staff members live with the dogs and work daily on socialization, crate-training, housebreaking, leash-walking, and basic commands. The cats receive an abundance of play time, trees for climbing, an outdoor space for exploring, and socialization with other cats and visitors. Our horses and other farm animals also receive daily care and socialization. The horses and cows are free to roam most of our 1,000 acres, and the sheep and pigs have access to open grazing land, as well. These animals are visitor favorites and will likely live out their lives at Kindness Ranch. We also provide an adoption program for our cats, dogs, horses, potbelly pigs and occasional small mammals. Those who are too debilitated, old, or ill to be placed in a loving home can remain on the ranch to live out their days, surrounded by caretakers and volunteers who put the animals’ well-being first. We offer unique guest accommodations right on the property for those interested in volunteering, adopting, or otherwise supporting our mission. Our fully-furnished rental cabins are available year-round at competitive rates and deliver a one-of-a-kind experience for visitors of all ages! We are always looking for supporters interested in adopting, fostering, or volunteering.

Lawrence and Elwood are proof that sometimes healing is a journey and not a race.

These two boys first arrived at Kindness Ranch scared and confused. For months, neither of them wanted anything to do with humans and completely kept to their own corner of the cat yurt.

Over the past weeks, however, both have slowly been approaching visitors, with Lawrence even letting the occasional caretaker pet him. While this may not seem like much, each small step forward for these two is a step closer to them starting their new lives and finding their new forever home.

We need adopters!

Apparently, the algorithm would prefer that we slowly introduce these faces to you over the next few days.

We had other plans.

We simply couldn’t resist sharing all of these amazing dogs at once. So, since we’ve probably thrown the algorithm completely off course, we’re asking for your help: share this post and help us get these beautiful beagles in front of as many potential adopters as possible.

This latest group includes both boys and girls, ranging from about 1 to 3 years old, and they’ll be ready for adoption soon.
And the timing matters as another group of beagles will be arriving at Kindness Ranch in just a few short weeks, which means every adoption creates space for another dog to begin their next chapter.

Take a look at these faces, share them far and wide, and help us find some wonderful homes.

Let’s get these beagles to couches, laps, road trips, and happily ever afters.

Congratulations to all of the former research animals that found their forever homes in September! 🐶

Every adoption means a new beginning, and we couldn’t be happier for each and every one of them. Thank you to all of the amazing adopters who opened their hearts and homes and gave these animals the second chance they deserve. 🐾

If you'd like to adopt a former research beagle, be sure to head to KindnessRanch.org today to learn more!

These boys and girls are headed home.

Thank you to all our supporters and donors, without your support of Kindness Ranch and all we do this would not be possible. Your kindness leads the way!
