Shorty's Safe Haven Girls Ranch
"Where Hope Lives"
Our Mission
"Where Hope Lives, a sanctuary where the most vulnerable girls in our community find solace and strength. Through the powerful and transformative experience of working with our horses and farm animals, we bring at-risk girls ages 10-18 together with the gentle companionship of horses.
Our Program
Our program is offered at low to no cost to our families, our ranch program is a comprehensive approach to healing and growth. We provide a safe place of hope and healing for our girls to grow and become leaders of tomorrow.
Working closely with our horses teaches the girls essential life skills like responsibility, accountability, compassion, empathy, just to name a few. The time spent on the ranch is so important and helps our girls learn how to communicate effectively, how to work as a team, how to problem solve and use critical thinking.
Our Impact
The impact of our program is profound and multifaceted. It's a journey of learning to love and empathize, embracing responsibility, gaining confidence and finding purpose. Ranch sessions are instrumental in enhancing the girls physical, emotional, and cognitive development. They gain invaluable life skills - from effective communication to social and leadership abilities, all fostered in a team-centric environment.
Beyond these, we extend our support to meet other crucial needs such as food, clothing, and household essentials, ensuring a holistic approach to care.
