We work to rehabilitate dogs and cats in a home-like environment with round-the-clock care to help them adjust to their new lives.

Most of the animals that come to Kindness Ranch are adopted to their fur-ever homes to lead happy, fulfilling lives as a family pet.

Animals who are too debilitated, old or ill to be adopted can remain on the ranch to live out their days, surrounded by caretakers and volunteers who put the animals’ well-being first.

We support the ethical treatment of research animals.

The Ranch

Kindness Ranch is a 1000 acre ranch nestled among the rolling hills of Hartville, Wyoming and is the only sanctuary in the US that takes in all kinds of research animals including dogs, cats, horses, pigs and sheep. Since it was founded in 2006, Kindness Ranch has provided sanctuary to over one thousand animals.

The mission of the Kindness Ranch is to provide a sanctuary and place of rehabilitation for animals who have previously been used in laboratory research, working to rehabilitate dogs and cats in a home-like environment. Cats and dogs at The Kindness Ranch live together with their human caretakers in spacious yurts specially designed to meet their needs. They receive round-the-clock care to help them adjust to their new lives
