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. Our adoption fee is $100 unless otherwise specified. 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 Memory Of 

                 Terry


We are sorry to report that "Terry" was humanely put to sleep on Sunday November 18, 2007.  His time here was clearly over and we will all miss him terrible!!  Although "Terry" was never adopted, he did consider the ranch home.  He was very happy here.  Thanks to Deb at the Arizona Humane Society, "Terry" was gifted an extra 2 1/2 years of life.  He first showed up at AHS with razor wire wrapped around and embedded in his abdomen.  The wonderful staff at the second chance hospital, surgically removed it and Deb pleaded with me to rescue him!!  Thank you all  who offered him love.
