An opportunity for individuals, families, friend groups, and businesses—join Lazy J Rescue Ranch as a monthly sponsor! Sponsorships give you a unique connection to the ranch while your recurring funds ensure consistent care is provided for the rescued residents every day. This leaves us with the ability to comfortably plan for emergencies, unexpected rescues, and long-term projects. Plus, you can score some unique one-of-a-kind thank you items as well!

Why Monthly Sponsorships Matter:
Regular, reliable donations from sponsorships make all the difference in our ability to cover the monthly costs of each animal’s basic cares. These costs include daily essentials like feed, minerals, medications, and annual vaccines and medical check-ups. Every contribution you make goes directly towards keeping the rescued sanctuary animals healthy, comfortable, and well-loved.

Who To Sponsor:
All of the animals currently available for sponsorship are listed here—if you don’t see your favorite, they likely already have a sponsor, but there's many more who need you. Visit our website to learn about their incredible journeys of resilience and hope that led them to find sanctuary here and your heart will likely be touched by one of their stories.

Thank You Packages:
Depending on the monthly amount of your sponsorship, you'll also receive a special thank you package!

About Lazy J Rescue Ranch:
Lazy J Rescue Ranch is a 501(c)(3) non-profit rescued animal sanctuary in Goldfield, IA. Our rescue is dedicated to providing a forever home for all animals with varying medical needs, mobility challenges, and for those who have been abused, neglected, or forced to feel unloved. As a sanctuary, all animals who are surrendered to us or rescued by us will live out their natural lives here at the ranch where they can heal both socially and physically from the abuse, neglect, abandonment, and poor living conditions that many of them have experienced. Lazy J Rescue Ranch is currently the home to 52 animals including pigs, goats, sheep, a llama, cows, chickens, ducks, guineafowl, peafowl, a rabbit, tortoises, dogs, and cats. Here at the ranch these rescued animals are given a second chance at life where they are treated as individuals, each with their own name, are allowed to portray their own unique personalities, are given the respect and care they deserve, get to socialize with other rescued animals, and have the opportunity to learn that humans are kind and compassionate.

In addition to providing a healing environment for rescued animals, Lazy J Rescue Ranch also provides education to the community regarding animal welfare, as well as encourages positive animal interactions to promote well-being throughout the community via school field trips, community events, nursing home visits, and more!
