Welcome to Redemption Ranch!

 The mission of Redemption Ranch is to provide animal-assisted trauma therapy programs to people who have experienced debilitating trauma, including veterans and first responders with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)/traumatic brain injury (TBI)/military sexual trauma (MST), their families, individuals who have experienced abuse or other traumatizing event, and those recovering from addiction, depression, or loss. Individuals needing more personalized, long-term animal assistance may qualify for a service dog through Redemption Ranch’s future service dog training program. Animals used in these programs consist of former shelter Pit Bull type dogs and BLM mustang horses. Animals in our program serve a wide range of needs, from emotional support/companions to therapy animals to highly trained PTSD service animals, with the ultimate goal of redeeming both human and animal. 

 Founded in April 2019 by Virginia Burroughs, Redemption Ranch earned its 501(c)(3) status just one year later. Now in our 7th year as an organization, we have overcome some huge hurdles and seen tremendous growth, including realizing our long-awaited dream of obtaining ranch property from which we could house all of our animals and grow our programs so we can serve the community better. As we settle into our new surroundings, we are looking forward to establishing our equine therapy program by getting certified by EAGALA and then building our on-site dog therapy program in a similar fashion. Stay tuned for updates as we make progress in developing both of these programs in the coming year!
