Important Update from OYRR
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the dissolution of Old Yeller Ranch Rescue. As some of you know, Old Yeller Ranch Rescue was founded in 2013 as a passion project amongst like-minded bleeding hearts that grew into a full-fledged Non-Profit. This evolution was swift and organic as we began to educate ourselves and those around us about the problems that existed with pet overpopulation and homelessness. Once we began rescuing, we just couldn’t see how we could limit our goals or stop when so many more dogs seemed to knock on our door. From that accelerated journey, Old Yeller Ranch Rescue’s mission was born, To end canine homelessness by providing a safety net of services and education to the community. For many years, I would consider Old Yeller Ranch Rescue successful in pursuing that mission.
The fundamental ability to do this was made possible by our variously talented and devoted employees over the years, our loyal and committed volunteers, our incredible adoptive homes and our extremely generous and likeminded donors who always showed up when an animal needed veterinary funds, our food supply was low, or the facility needed an improvement to better the quality of life for our dogs. It is likely that if you are reading this, you are one of these individuals, and we humbly say, THANK YOU. Thank you for sharing in our dream. Thank you for sharing in our mission. Thank you for showing up for so many years. It is each of you, and the many dogs we will not be able to help in the future, that make beginning the process to dissolving the organization so difficult.
There have been many individuals within the organization who have stepped up over the years to carry a significant responsibility. I would like to recognize Lucy Esparza, former Ranch Manager, for positioning herself as a continued resource to whatever extent she is capable to our former adoptive homes. Possibly one of the biggest concerns in the dissolution of the organization is what will become of our former rescues who may experience further obstacles that require resources. Lucy seeks to continue the mission of rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming through her business, Valley Oak Dogs. Lucy sees a future in the industry and will hopefully continue to offer her services to our county in one capacity or another for years to come. Thank you, Lucy, for your dedication to finding so many of our long-term more challenging rehabilitation cases homes, and for making yourself the sort of resource that seeks to remain a pillar of education and knowledge for those families going into the future. To contact Lucy, please email: lrespa805@gmail.com
Thanks to the great team of Holly Walters and Lucy Esparza, no dogs have or will return to the shelter as a result of OYRR’s dissolution. All OYRR dogs have been adopted or will remain under the care of professionals, undergoing continued rehabilitation with a goal of adoption.
To each of you, past or present, who have participated in Old Yeller Ranch Rescue, founders, volunteers, donors, supporters… by the generosity of you all, this message would not end were I to name each of you. Please know that your part in this mission was recognized and we sincerely hope that you will continue to pursue this mission with other local organizations such as Shadow's Fund and C.A.R.E.4Paws. To our adoptive homes, thank you for opening your life and home to a rescue dog. Every one of you were the dream being realized.
We are currently in the process of dissolution to include re-donating any remaining dog food and supplies to other local organizations. If you have any questions regarding the future of a donation you have made, please feel free to email us directly.
With many thanks and gratitude,
Amanda Parker
