Overview
Mission
We are a Wyoming based non-profit dedicated to providing support, transitional services, and a loving home for hounds, burros, horses, pigs, sheep, and chickens. While we provide sanctuary for our farm and hound friends, our primary focus is our partnership with Spanish rescue organizations to safely re-home Spanish Galgos and Podencos in the Rocky Mountain Wester region of the United States. We are on a mission to spread awarness about the plight of the Galgos and Podencos in Spain and make sure we connect these deserving dogs with exceptional families of there own, by bringing them from Spain to approved homes in the Rocky Mountain West.
What it reported doing in 2025
We provide sanctuary and care to 3 donkeys, 2 mini horses, 3 mustangs, 1 domestic horse, 20 heritage chickens, 4 Icelandic sheep, 2 heritage breed pigs, 1 cat, and 8 dogs.
Operating model

The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
