Dog Rescue
 

Among everything else, The VJ Ranch is also home to a dog rescue. All of our dogs are rescued from euthanasia lists so it truly is a second chance at life. They are all spayed/neutered and have all their vaccines, including rabies.  Here at the ranch they are housebroken, crate trained and have learned to live with other dogs, cats and of course, horses. Please have a look at our dogs and help give one a second chance. For more information or to meet them in person contact us at (623)465-4835 or through our 'contact us' page.

 

 

 

                In loving memory of 

                   Sheila Lampert

                                      10/7/1948 - 6/20/2009

 

The Arizona Humane Society family has tradgically lost a long time family member.  Sheila worked at the Humane Society for 10 yrs as a vet tech.  She was a valuable asset to all the animals.  She was a caring, compassionate person that helped anyone that needed anything.  Her own son that had nobody else to turn to in his time of need was taken in by his loving mother.  He took Sheila's life, along with her grandson, Logan, on Logan's 14th birthday.  Our hearts and prayers remain with this family in their time of loss.  

There is a fund set up to help out the family and if anyone is interested in donating they can do so by cash, check, money order, or debit card

to Chase Bank for the Lampert Family Support Trust act # 2748324601. 

 

We all love you Sheila!  We will ALWAYS remember and NEVER forget.  We know you are watching over all the homeless pets that never had the chance!  For that, we are thankful!
