Testimonials
Our volunteers make a difference in the lives of rescued animals through their time and compassion.
"I have volunteered at BBR for over a year and a half, spending my Tuesday afternoons with the beautiful animals and amazing staff. BBR is such a special place of peace, and I love knowing the animals who are fortunate enough to call it home are so very loved and cared for in every way!"
“I love the warm and satisfied feeling I get every time I volunteer at Black Beauty. It is not only the beauty and serenity of the grounds, but I also know I have, in some way, given back to the animals. To know these animals will get to spend the rest of their live enjoying the peace, protection, and goodness of Black Beauty gives me so much happiness. Everyone is so caring and dedicated to these many animals. There are few better ways to spend my retirement.”
“I have volunteered as a gardener at BBR since 2015 and have loved every minute I’ve spent at the ranch. There are not many places in the world where you can garden while the primates, hogs, bison, ducks and geese provide background music. Love it!”
