ARRR Rescue and Retirement Ranch Inc., 501-c3 Non Profit Welcome to our ranch! This former cattle ranch and wheat farm has transitioned into a sanctuary for rescued and retired farm animals of all types. EIN #47-1186873

Farm Animal Sanctuary and Cat Adoptions - Message ARRR for an Adoption Application- Open by Appointment Only- (We aren't set up to take in dogs; try The Stray Sanctuary.) We have a pirate theme, even though we are located on the prairie, because the ranch owner is a descendant of a famous pirate and because he worked on a ship for a short while and loved the experience. Sail along with us on this

journey, one which we have dreamed of for years. The ranch is owned by a landlocked pirate and his wife but we couldn't do it without our Crew! ARRR's First Mate (aka- ranch foreman) is Mark. His dedication means everything, especially considering the hot summer months when the work days are long and hectic, followed by the long winter months which are not only a bit dull but can be extremely cold. Each crew member, Mark, Kristi, Cynthia, Kristina, Kara, Jana-Lee and Rachel, is extremely important because they determine the quality of residents lives. ARRR is fortunate enough to have occasional volunteers as well! They provide a little extra TLC. Our Board of Directors: Flint Bibler, Kjersti Eide, Patty Fitterer and Jennifer Eide Bibler

ARRR residents include 32 equine (16 horses, 8 mini horses, 3 donkeys, 1 mule, and 4 ponies), 4 roosters, 5 ducks, 3 sheep, 5 goats, 7 potbelly pigs, 3 hogs, 2 cows and a around 80 cats (this number changes as we take cats in and adopt them out) as of February 2023. The number of animals we take in will remain small so that we can focus on quality care. As with any journey into the unknown, we sometimes experience rough seas and sometimes smooth sailing. The final destination is a comfortable and safe home for many critters. Please jump aboard (like our page) and follow along with the adventure! ARRR gained federal accreditation for 501-(c)(3) non profit status as of October 30, 2015.

Happy Caturday from ARRR! This little guy was rescued from a car that he had crawled up in. He doesn't have a name yet. He will be available for adoption after a vet exam.

Kitties need homes! This is a courtesy post. If interested in helping any of these little souls, please message ARRR.

Orange kitten is a stray. Tabby female is Timber, is 1 year old, hasn't been seen by vet. Black male is Shorty, is neutered, 6 years old, owner says he hasn't had vaccinations recently as he is allergic. Timber and Shorty are now without a home, and the orange kitty has never really had a home. Please spread the word.

Happy Birthday, A'ine! This little girl was just a few hours old when she arrived at the ARRR. Baby A'ine ("Anya") was born just before her mom was sent to slaughter.

We were saddened by the circumstances, although we were also excited to have our first bovine resident. Ayna was a beautiful calf. She grew quickly and, to this day, is healthy and appears happy with her life. We suspect that she thinks she is a horse, having grown up with them. Anya is halter broke, eats treats out of our hands, and stands for farrier!

ARRR has a vegan policy. Veganism is not a popular thing here in western North Dakota, which is strongly an oil and agriculture area. Not everyone who lives or works at the ARRR is vegan, however any fundraising or events in the name of the ARRR have to be vegan because our residents include cows, hogs, ducks.... It wouldn't make sense to have a steak dinner fundraiser when we have Anya and Covee in our sanctuary. Thank you for understanding.

And thank you for reading this post in celebration of ARRR's beautiful, healthy, hefty, happy heifer!

Hershey went to the doctor today. She had a strange lump on her neck. Turns out that it was simply a reaction at the site of her vaccination last month. It ruptured, so Doc Bloxum gave meds to prevent infection, then sent Hershy on her way.
Thank you, Western Vet Clinic 🙂

Our Story

Welcome to our ranch! We are now a few years into our new journey, one which we dreamed of for years. This, a former cattle ranch and wheat farm, has transitioned into a sanctuary for rescued and retired farm animals of all types. The ranch is run by a landlocked pirate, “Captain” Flint, and his wife, Jennifer. Of course we couldn't do it without our fabulous crew; Greg, Ty and Keegan. Their dedication means everything, especially considering the hot summer months when the work days are long and hectic, followed by the long winter months which are not only a bit dull at times but also can be extremely cold. ARRR is fortunate enough to have occasional volunteers as well! They provide that extra TLC. The number of animals we take in will remain small so that we can focus on quality care, and currently we are at capacity. We hope that this journey is something you will join in on. Please jump aboard (like our page) and follow along with the adventure! If you would like to visit the ranch in person, please make an appointment as this is also a private residence. ARRR has federal accreditation for 501-(c)(3) non profit status as of October 30, 2015, EIN#47-1186873
