‘-ito’ - an endearing addition to the end of a word indicating something smaller in size, and expresses affection and familiarity. Embedded in the suffix is a feeling of endearment and closeness plus it often refers to something just plain cute… in this case, that cute thing is the Ranchito! And while we may be small, that IS intentional. There are so many stories to be told, so much deep love to share, and an abundance of important messages coming out of each and every single, adorable Rescue Ranchito resident.

Our goal is to keep the Rescue small-scale in terms of overall numbers, but not our reach. We are passionately committed to passing along the stories of our companion creatures because each of them is so significant, so poignant, so eye-opening, and most unfortunately, so common. 

Each of our dwellers has such a big personality, if only their memoirs could be told and heard, shouted from the rooftops, they couldn’t help but change the entire world. We are gunning for nothing short of a paradigm shift in the way we look at animals, treat them, interact with them, value them, and hopefully then desire to save them… each Ranchito resident is a vital emissary, a peek into the truth of how we treat those who walk on four legs. 

And if we do anything with our time here, it needs to be in their honor, to help them tell their stories. That is our sheer pleasure in this lifetime.

So please, join us here, at the Rescue Ranchito.

It’s for them, always.
