A note to our visitors and supporters - As you know our sanctuary is supported totally by Claire and Ron Pass. CPR has no volunteers or financial support other than those of you who find it in your hearts to help. During these tough economic times Ron has had to find work that does not allow him time to help at the ranch as much as before. Unfortunately, his field in commercial construction is no longer thriving. Claire has a big job caring for the animals and their children. Claire and Ron are dedicated to caring for the sanctuary and their human family therefore, they have needed to put this website on hold for a time to ensure the most important beings at CPR have what they need. They will be back ASAP!
Also, at this time they are concentrating on raising funds to complete the IRS nonprofit paperwork. Ron is working double time to catch up on their personal finances as well as adding on to the nonprofit funds. Those of you on the email list will receive a notification when this is all complete. You will then be able to have the opportunity for tax deductions!
WHO ARE WE? WHAT DO WE DO?
~CRITTER PASS RANCH REFUGE AND SANCTUARY ~
We at Critter Pass Ranch Refuge and Sanctuary are dedicated to helping as many animals as possible by giving forever homes to as many as possible and educating society about animal care and animal welfare. We believe that all animals should have the basics, always-Food, shelter and last but not least, love! We will not take in an animal unless we can provide these basics.
We believe our "family" has been sent our way...
* Your help is needed!! As some of you know this sanctuary is supported souly by Ron and Claire Pass. Every last penny goes towards the animals and their care. It is unfortunate but the person who offered to gift the $1000 to Critter Pass Ranch to officially Start the nonprofit has apparently pulled out as we have not heard from her. Claire and Ron had many things going on in their lives this year (one thing being starting the process of the adoption and fostering of human children) and needed to put this endeavor on temporary hold. Now that life has slowed they have started the process but the money is not there to complete it. They have tried to contact the person who made the offer but have not heard from her. With the economy the way it has become they have also hit a financial crisis and need help for the animals. Please, if you can help these animals with a monetary donation or a donation of items for the animals at the ranch, it would be so appreciated and would be such a blessing! It costs over $2000 per month to keep the animals fed and cared for. You can donate using Paypal right from this page or send through the USPS. I will be tax deductible in the near future! Please send any emails to:
critterpassranch@yahoo.com OR thecritters@critterpassranch.org
