THE KIDS' RANCH
Nancy C., our 12 year old star teen
trainer and foster mom holds the 16th foster puppy she has saved and
trained
so that the puppy can be a valued a
loved member of a new family. |
A 20 year dream of founder Denise De
Vynck:
a natural place away from the hustle and bustle
of the city where kids and animals can feel safe,
loved and valued; a place where kids are given
the opportunity to find a sense of self-worth
where they can learn compassion of all of God's
creatures. These are just a few of the descriptions
of the Save A Dog and Kids Ranch. What better
way to teach our kids the value of life, giving and
hard work than by having them care for, gain the
trust of, and save innocent animals. All of us have
felt the wonderful feeling created by movies like
Where the Red Fern Grows, Lassie, Born Free,
The Black Stallion and so many more -- a feeling
of love and caring for animals. Our young generations
are losing this appreciation of the innocence,
helplessness and suffering animals and children
experience as well as the joy, satisfaction and beauty
of life. They're not learning about the wonderful
relationships that can develop between a human
being
and a loving "best friend." |
Our
farming communities are disappearing, and our natural habitats are fighting for
survival against human consumption and technology. We're losing
old-fashioned
values like a hard work ethic and appreciation for the the simple things that are most
valuable: life, love, sacrifice, responsibility, honor, morality, and the
miracle of God's
creations. We hope to give these values back to our young generation as well as remind
our older generation of their
existence. By working with animals that need special care,
love and training the kids will
learn the value of hard work, patience and giving all they
can for
results that are more rewarding than anything else they could have done for
themselves. No virtual reality man can create can
compare to the experience, joy and
satisfaction nature gives us unconditionally, free
of charge and so wisely. Let's give
this great gift to our children by giving them this
beautiful, peaceful and loving place to go. |
