The name “Remember Me Ranch” was originally from a book, but soon it came to hold a much greater meaning for us.

We will never forget those we have lost on our journey to make our dreams come true, especially our founder, Danny Richardson, his cousin Tommy Eckl, and our very first rescue dog, Lina Lou. We’ll miss and love you always.

At Remember Me Ranch, we want to ensure that our pets will be placed in good and loving forever homes. We generally require an application, references, a home visit and a contract before you are able to bring your pet home.

Adopting from Remember Me Ranch helps to save lives - and not just the life of the pet you take home.

By helping a pet find its forever home, you’re making space for two homeless animals: one at the Ranch and another one at a shelter. And that’s something to be proud of.

Donations are an easy way to help out the Ranch and let us continue to support our furry friends while they’re waiting to find their forever home.

We appreciate any contribution, whether it be monetary, sponsorship, or a donation of supplies.You can donate directly from our website by clicking the PayPal button or set up payment directly to remembermeranch@gmail. com.

SPONSORSHIP

Many of the animals that come into the Ranch were rescued, and some require more care than others. These animals have just as much right to find a forever home as the healthy ones, but many are never given the chance. By sponsoring our special needs animals, you give them the opportunity to get better and find their forever home at last.

SUPPLIES

At the Ranch, we find ourselves constantly in need of certain items.

Here are a few suggestions: • blankets • carrying crates • dog/cat toys • cat food • cat litter • cleaning supplies

I Found My Forever

Home

NAME: Zeus

AGE: 4 Years Old DATE ADOPTED: 6-15-2011 HIS STORY : Zeus was three years old and terrified of strangers when he came to Remember Me Ranch.

However, he was too nice of a dog to let anyone put him down, so RMR went to work.

Zeus went through an extensive positive behavior modification program to help him overcome his fear....and it worked!

Thanks to his training, Zeus just needs to sniff a stranger and he’s ok with them.

Zeus was then adopted by a RMR volunteer who just fell in love with him! He now has a great family, enjoys walks and loves to socialize with his new neighbors.

Director’s Insights

We’re so excited to be coming up on the Holidays. We just celebrated our 1st year at the Ranch, and boy, was it fun! We went through a lot of challenges, loss and change, but we’ve made it through and we’re ready for 2011! In January, we got our first batch of dogs: Dixie, Dolly, Ellis, Scrappy-Doo and Douglas.

Boy! We were in for a surprise. There was so much work to do,and I cried for at least two days straight.

But it didn’t stop me from saving more!

In April, we suffered such a loss as my husband, Daniel Richardson, died in a boating accident on April 15th. After this, we didn’t know if the Ranch would continue after losing him.

Danny Eventually, his memory helped me continue on and save more!

In August, we got our first batch of brand new kittens. We renovated the old “Dog House” into “Tommy’s Cat Cottage” so our kittens and cats could Happy holidays from the Ranch! have a happy, warm place to wait for their adoptive homes. Pretty soon, we were full of cats, but it didn’t stop me from saving more!

In November, we rescued a little dog named Minnie…she couldn’t eat or drink and had to be fed

four times a day,

but she got a great surgery, and her Danny Christmas wish! That

really motivated us to save more!

Also, in November, we Minnie welcomed in our Cat

Manager, Barb Lasek. We renovated the cold basement into a warm apartment for Barb, and she was renovated into the crazy cat lady. Now we finally have some more help to be able to save more!

We welcome the New Year, hopefully with success and happiness. We have so much to do yet to continue to makethis place a home for all the animals that come to take refuge. Wish us luck!

- Cassie Richardson, Director

Our Story

We named the rescue “Remember Me Ranch” because of a great book, but we never would have guessed what meaning the name would soon hold…

Danny Richardson was my husband, best friend, and fellow animal rescuer. He always encouraged me to follow my dreams, so when the 12-acre property in Baraboo came up for sale, he agreed, and we bought it. Then he went to Afghanistan with the Air Force for three months, and was set to come home in April.

During this time, our dog, Lina Lou, ran away and was hit on the highway. Dan was devastated and so far away from home. Those two were inseparable - Where ever Danny was, so was Lina Lou. They went fishing, ice fishing and camping together. Once, they spent an entire weekend at the St. Croix River - just Danny and Lina.

Danny came home from the war, excited to be a part of the Ranch, and to try out his new fishing

boat. On April 15th, Danny and his best friend and Cousin, Tommy Eckl, died on Castle Rock Lake while doing what they loved best – fishing.

We all miss Dan so much here; it is not the same without his laughter, jokes and love. But, we have his memories and his support from up above to guide us along. He wanted this property to be a place for us to fulfill dreams and to save animals, just like we saved Lina Lou. Without Danny and Lina Lou, there would be no Danny and L ina Remember Me Ranch.

So, this Ranch is dedicated to the memory of Dan and his vision of saving the animals.

Minnie’s Column Dear Everyone,

since before I went into surgery, and I’m on my way to being a big girl!

I talked my mom

into letting me write

I’m almost ten weeks old now, and I’m still

you see I’m a UWbite, I just can’t help myself). In January, I’m going to

Madison Alumni now, puppy school to learn how to be a good dog and play

and that means I’m with other puppies, I just can’t wait. And to think that

very smart. I had if I wouldn’t have had the surgery, I wouldn’t be able to

I’m feeling so Ranch and for my surgery bills. I hope I get to meet all much better now – the first few days, I still threw my my fans soon, I’m very popular, you know… food up a bit, but now, almost three weeks later, I’m Thank you everyone for helping me, my Christmas almost good as new.

It’s a great feeling, and it gives me so much energy to play with my favorite big brother, Marco. I’ve gained two pounds

Fundraisers

In August of this year, we had a wonderful fundraiser with Bridget Marquardt, a very beautiful and sweet Playboy Bunny and reality star, at Ho-Chunk Casino. For every autograph she signed, she charged $5, and donated all the cash to the critters! We raised just over $1000! Not bad for our first fundraiser ever‌
