VOLUNTEER
STAR Ranch Rescue's main focus is hooved animals but we also help with overflow dogs and cats from SARGE's. The horses that come in are usually malnurished or seniors, and they do best with lots of loving care to bring them back slowly and gently. You can help us rehabilitate and rehome them.
We need office and computer help, groomers, help with TLC and socializing, vet techs, general labor, and more. Come lend a hand and you’ll see you get back more than you give. Horses are like that.
They need you, and if you want to help we'll work with you to find your way of helping.
DONATE SUPPLIES, FEED, AND TACK
We need:
* Round Pen
* Feed for horses, goats, dogs, and cats

ADOPT A HORSE
We have several wonderful horses available for immediate adoption. Please tell everyone you know who may be looking for a horse to come visit our website and contact us.
SPONSOR A HORSE
If you’ve ever had a horse, wanted to own one, or would like to be ‘in touch’ with one, this is your chance.
STAR will keep you updated on ‘your’ horse however you choose, email, etc., and let you know how he/she is doing.
* $25 will buy one horse enough grain and supplements for a month, or $300 for a year.
* $50 will buy one horse hay for a month, or $600 for a year.
* $100 will totally feed one horse for a month, or $1,200 for a year.
These four in particular have on going medical needs beyond the normal feeding and maintenance required to keep a horse in good health. The vet bills on all of these horses are mounting. None can be ridden.
GYPSY
 This 17 year old Tennessee Walker mare came to STAR 5 days after she tangled in barbed wire and fell onto a metal post, puncturing her right hip. She was unable to receive any veterinary care until she arrived, too late for stitching. Treating an open would round the clock, antibiotics, pain meds and supplements make this gal high maintenance! But worth it.

SWEET PEA
 This 27 year old Appaloosa, malnourished and dehydrated, is putting on a few pounds each day. Her mane was trimmed to make her feel better, her tail will fill in a little more with time. On red cell and nutrients, she seems happy with the other horses in her pasture.

DOLLY
 This 17 year old mare, picked on by her former pasture mates, came to STAR with ring bone in her left front leg and an abscess forming in her right rear leg. She couldn’t move without pain. A lot like arthritis, it won’t go away, but we can keep her comfortable. She has gained a lot of weight, but still is carefully monitored and is on daily pain meds and extra TLC.

More . . .
 Through these gates come hundreds of cats, dogs, goats and horses all needing the same thing - a place to recover, regain their spirits, rehabilitate from injuries and ultimately rehome; while we humans rejoice at their amazing ability to trust again and to heal themselves of all manner of troubles."
