Rush Creek Sanctuary

“Fusing animal rescue, therapy, learning and compassion!”

We are reaching out to introduce our organization, its services and programs offered.

Rush Creek Sanctuary is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization based in Texas serving all in need. RCR provides rescue, shelter and rehabilitation for wildlife, domestic and farm animals. We also integrate our rescues into educational, therapeutic and mental health awareness programs for disabled veterans, children and adults with special needs.

Our Mission:

“To expand existing animal rescue and public service efforts at Rush Creek Ranch to develop a unique animal rescue, rehoming and rehabilitation program that offers educational and recreational opportunities that capture the synergies of integrating animal rescue efforts with therapeutic and social programs for children, adults and those with special needs.”

Animal rescue is of utmost importance. Many animals face abandonment, abuse and neglect, leaving them vulnerable. This is true for animals we typically have for pets, as well as large domestic and wild animals. These animals deserve compassion and respect. They also need our help.

What makes Rush Creek Sanctuary unique is that we integrate the animals we rescue into therapeutic, educational, and recreational programs for those of all ages with special needs.

Dr. Pam Darrow, a Member of the RSC Board and clinical psychologist, specializes in Autism, PTSD and Mental Health Wellness for Veterans and those with special needs. Dr. Darrow, who is certified in Animal Therapy (AAT-C), Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT, Colorado), Animals and Human Health, and Unity Environment-Wildlife and Conservation-Animal Health Science programs, oversees our therapeutical and educational efforts through a structured program uniquely tailored to each person’s needs. This includes establishing therapeutic objectives and selection of the animal(s) participating, handler training, interaction guidelines, and monitoring and evaluation efforts.

We are seeking financial support to meet several near-term goals:

Animal Feed and Veterinary Care                  Special Needs Animal Therapy Equipment

Expansion of the Animal Infirmary                 Wildlife Pens and Fencing

Add Handicap Restrooms  & Showers    Program Expansions

Improved Site Access and Parking                Additional Corrals      

Shelter for Equine Safety Fence for Camp Site

We are also looking for volunteers, in-kind contributions, as well as Facility and Event Sponsors!
