🚨 WE ARE DOING OUR FIRST EVER OPEN HOUSE 🚨

July 19th we will be partnering with Hope Safehouse, to have our first ever open house here at Rigden Ranch.

We will be open to the general public from 11-5, with staff here that can answer all of your animal questions.

This will not be as personable as the private tours that we typically offer, but will give you a chance to see our animals for a fraction of the cost!

Entry will be $10 at the gate, or a donation item that will go straight to the foster family's partnered with hope safe house. Feed cups for the animals will be offered for an additional cost at the gate.

Donations that are always in need are:
•Dog and cat food
•Dog and cat toys
•Manila folders
•Stamps
•Printer Ink
•Training pads
•Misc. Pet needs

We are super excited and hope to see everyone there!
