The 4-H community is a generous one, so I thought of you all when I saw a story on yourhub.com about a sanctuary for older and unwanted animals that may be forced to close down.
The PAALS Program (People and Animals Living Synergistically) resides at the 160-acre Dreampower Ranch and consists of 200 animals and several senior volunteers that live on site to help care for them. This progam was started ten years ago by Diane Benedict with a vision of providing lifelong care for these animals.
According to the article, animals at the Dreampower Ranch include not only dogs and cats but horses, donkeys, chickens, goats, potbelly pigs, mules and a long-horned steer named Chico. Funding is provided through individuals, groups, organizations and companies.
The ranch is need of carpenters, people to help raise barns, and monetary donations to keep the ranch running. For more information, log on to http://www.paalsforlife.com/ or call 303-688-9537.
The Dreampower Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit corporation that supports the PAALS Program. Monetary donations can be sent to PAALS, P.O. Box 926, Castle Rock, CO 80104.
