"A growing and increasingly influential movement of philosophers, ethicists, law professors and activists are convinced that the great moral struggle of our time will be for the rights of animals."
--Michael Pollan
Placing Rehabilitated Animals…
* Developing an upscale image and sterling reputation
* Developing a first-class social network
* Targeting people who already share our ideal of a safe and healthy home
* Targeting people with appropriate skills and experience in handling such animals
* Finding nothing short of the perfect “Forever Home” for each animal
"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." -- Mahatma Gandhi

Please Note
WolfStone Ranch is a small, exclusive facility. We are not a typical shelter open to the general public. We do not accept owner surrenders because we are simply not set up to be that kind of rescue operation. Instead, we are able to take in only a small number of “unadoptable” shelter animals in need of intensive rehabilitation. Once we are able to adopt out one of these animals, we are then able to pull another “unadoptable” animal from one of the local shelters so that they can take in more animals in dire need of rescue. With this in mind, we suggest that you contact the Farmington Pet Adoption Center if you need to relinquish an animal (be it your own pet or a stray you’ve picked up). Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
