Blue Ridge Animal Rescue & Sanctuary

ABOUT US

BLUE RIDGE ANIMAL RESCUE & SANCTUARY is a registered 501(c)(3) charity located in Goshen, KY and guided by compassion, integrity and the desire to help mistreated and unwanted animals. We are an ALL VOLUNTEER, small, foster-based rescue whose main concentration is the rescue of canines, felines and rabbits! 

Blue Ridge Animal Rescue & Sanctuary works to save animals in deep rural areas throughout Kentucky and Eastern TN where the need is greatest and assistance is hard to come by. Whether it's pulling from a full shelter or helping desperate families, we try to save as many as possible!

100% of your tax deductible donation today goes towards the medical treatment, emotional support, nutrition and behavioral training of the animals in our care to get them ready for a successful adoption with a loving family! We stress the importance of placing a companion animal with the appropriate fit family! This fit matches the pet's needs AND the desires of the adoptive family as well! A GOOD FIT is a FOREVER FIT! 

WELCOMING A NEW PARTNERSHIP - 

PAWS BEHIND BARS  PRISON DOG TRAINING PROGRAM

Blue Ridge Animal Rescue & Sanctuary is THRILLED TO ANNOUNCE OUR NEW PARTNERSHIP with Luther Luckett Correctional Complex, Paws Behind Bars!
Blue Ridge Animal Rescue is excited to bring a fresh face, a new perspective, dedication and commitment to the dog handlers, canines, staff and LLCC!
This remarkable dog training program provides rehabilitation and development opportunities for inmates while preparing our rescue dogs for success in their forever homes.
It's a partnership that changes lives for both humans and canines! For humans, it creates the opportunities for expanding emotional growth, learning valuable skill-sets, and facilitating community integration. For the canines, it provides an opportunity for socialization, behavioral development, and the chance to acquire training. The list goes on and on regarding the benefits for both in the Paws Behind Bars Program!
Excitement abounds as the talented trainer, Amanda Armstrong of The Bonded Canine, and Volunteer, Kim Dehler, from Blue Ridge Rescue, partner with Paws Behind Bars and their committed staff members to make Paws Behind Bars the place to go for your next family dog!

COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE

There are many times that we are asked to help take in animals but the family also needs additional assistance with medical care of existing animals on the property or they have a need for food or preventatives. We do what we can to spay/neuter any animals left on the property to keep overpopulation at bay and help with other needs they may have. Blue Ridge Animal Rescue & Sanctuary aims to educate and assist the people in these rural areas to create a safer/healthier environment for domestic animals remaining in their care.  

We love what we do and make sure all animals in our care are treated like family! We are grateful for your support and your generous giving helps our animals go from a life of neglect, to a life full of love! 

PLEASE DONATE TODAY to help animals like Reed, Chip and Rain!  Between the three animals, we had to perform four eye removals. 

THANK YOU for reading about our organization! It is our hope that you support our efforts and DONATE  TO GIVE OUR ANIMALS THEIR HAPPY NEW BEGINNINGS!
