The Kindness Ranch

National Mill Dog Rescue would like to share with you a letter from David Hatch, boardmember of the Kindness Ranch, the only organization in the United States dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing of all kinds of animals used in research.

16 research dogs were rescued from a laboratory yesterday

This amazing sanctuary is the result of years of generosity and dedication of its founder, Dr. David Groobman, whose love of laboratory animals led to the development of the Kindness Ranch, a 1,000 acre ranch near historic Hartville in Wyoming, some three hours from Denver.

The Kindness Ranch recently rescued a large group of dogs and are seeking volunteers to assist in their rehabilitation.  They have limited guest quarters and unlimited basic camping and RV space and will assist with transportation costs.  What better way to give thanks to these dogs who have dedicated their lives as research animals than to volunteer with the Kindness Ranch!

Roscoe gets his first collar, his first leash, and -- especially -- his first walk.

Subject: Great news from Kindness Ranch

Dear friend of Kindness Ranch,

We don't send out too many emails because we respect your time and privacy.  However, some great news has come our way and we want to share it with you right away, and see if you might be able to help.


Kindness Ranch got 16 dogs on Saturday!  This is fantastic news for 16 of the countless animals used in research across the country.  Getting these pups settled in to their new accomodations, though, will take a lot of work.  Most of them will be unfamiliar with a loving environment, taking walks outdoors, socializing with other dogs etc, and we will desperately need help doing all of these things.  We need many volunteers to come to the ranch and spend time with all of our new friends.  Your time commitment at the ranch would be only four hours a day, or more if you want.   This would be a wonderful opportunity for a dog and animal lover to come and spend time in a remote and very beautiful location, three hours north of Denver in the southeast part of Wyoming.


(See www.KindnessRanch.org for much more information about the sanctuary.)

We have wonderful accommodations for volunteers, and you will be welcome to come for a few days, a few weeks, or even a few months. Transportation funds are available. 

Thanks very much,
David Hatch
Board Member, Kindness Ranch
