UPDATE: SPRING 2008-We are so excited about the changes at LCR recently!  We have added
four new sheds to the property, new fencing across the street,  and automatic waterers for the horses.
The pole barn has been remodeled to include kennels and an exercise yard for dogs. We are currently working on completion of fencing on the horse barn side, automatic watering stations on the new
property, outside runs for the kennels in the pole barn, and are considering housing plans for cats.

UPDATE-SPRING 2007: We are pleased to announce that Last Chance Ranch has officially added 25 acres directly across the street for expansion. The only structure on the property is a small pole barn. What an exciting time to be involved in such a worthwhile endeavor. Significant contributors who would like to commemorate the life of a beloved person, horse, or pet; or recognize an existing person, horse or pet, may have a stall, room, or building named in their memory or honor. Named Gift opportunities will be available for all contributors. Put your name on the wall and help make it happen. The possibilities are unlimited. This will be a real way in which you can continue our mission of rescue work.
We need help with:
• Digging a well
• Adding electric
• Site prep to erect a building for 20 stalls and an indoor arena (10 of which will be used for boarding to offset high costs incurred with our rescues).
• Fencing several areas and adding a few run-in sheds.
Our future plans include
• Opening our Horsemanship Program to accommodate year-round training; evening and inclement weather lessons.
• Promoting education with a Conference Room, Volunteer Lounge and Library.
• A Senior Garden and Gazebo, along with a petting area for small children.
• Adding an area to take in small animals such as dogs, cats, goats, and others that find their way to LCR.
• Working with other area organizations to promote wildlife preservation and rehab.
• A Rescue Relief Center for our Humane Police Officers to utilize in the event of a seizure or disaster.
Let us know how you can help with your donation of money, time, material or expertise. No matter how little or large, your input makes LCR what it is today. Thank you for all who have helped and will help make the new LCR rescue and rehab facility a reality.
The expansion will allow us to meet the growing needs of LCR’s services and future plans. The variety of needs for rescued equines will make the design of a new facility a valuable resource and educational hub for the community. Programs with day camps, work-studies, internships, and youth groups are in high demand; with the expansion completed we will be able to accommodate the growing need for these services.
LCR has recently become a sponsor for Humane Police Officer cruelty cases. Our HPO officer responds to and investigates complaints of cruelty and neglect in several adjacent counties and, when required, removes the animal in question from further neglect or harm. Our expansion plans will include facilities to accommodate these animals in need.
Last Chance Ranch Equine Rescue is 100% volunteer, every dollar donated is directly used for the health and well being of all horses, donkeys, ponies, and mules passing our way. We are asking you to assist us with your tax-deductible donation in this worthwhile endeavor for the future Last Chance Ranch Equine and Companion Animal Rescue facility.
Please join us as we continue to maximize LCR’s positive influence in the community and meet the growing demand for services. The new facility, in total 35 acres, will include, but is not limited to the following state of the art features:

UPDATE March 2005: LCR has been able to expand and house up to 30 horses thanks to the wonderful efforts of Graterford State Correctional Institute. LCR has been given a free lease with full time care takers. To date we have been able to send some of our long term rehab horses to live on the 74 acre hay fields of the prison. Inmates and guards care for the horses daily. This is an ongoing program hopefully to expand to rehabilitation and instruction utilizing more inmates and the capability to help additional horses that at this time we do not have room for on the main facility. Efforts are being focused on upgrading the current 10 acres with state of the art additions such as an Isolation and treatment barn, better fencing, additional indoor space for seminars and clinics, and to fix and rebuild fencing and existing buildings. LCR currently is continuing to seek out new possibilities for additional land to purchase in the future to continue to grow in our rescue efforts.
