Get Involved

In 1979, The Fund purchased 85 acres to house hundreds of burros rescued from the Grand Canyon. Today our Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch is a national animal sanctuary which has grown to 1,300 acres with four lakes and a dozen ponds and brooks. It is home to more than 1,300 animals rescued from cruelty and abuse, including chimpanzees, burros, horses, bison, camels, and many more.

The ranch is a specialized operation located in east Texas. Open houses are held twice a year, when visitors can see the facilities and rescued animals first hand. But all year long, there are many ways you can help care for the animals, who will never again be forced to perform, entertain, or work.

• Consider attending the special events held throughout the year
• Volunteer by emailing us your choice of giving tours, grooming the horses and burros, or promoting the ranch at public events
• Sign up to receive the free, electronic newsletter which will keep you informed of ranch happenings
• Sponsor an animal to help keep animals fed and the ranch going all year
